Video Transcript for Review of Reese Fifth Wheel Installation Kit - Inner Frame Brackets - RP27FR

Jeff: Hello, everybody, this is Jeff at etrailer.com.Today, we're going to take a look at these inner frame brackets for the Reese Under-Bed Rail and Installation Kit for the Reese Elite Series 5th Wheel Hitches. Now these inner frame brackets will let you install your Reese Under-Bed Rail Kit on your vehicle and maintain the higher weight capacities. The Under-Bed Rail and Installation Kit we're talking about has part number RP87FR, and we do sell that separately on our website.The Under-Bed Rails is what will provide the complete access to your truck bed once the hitch is removed. Basically, these inner frame brackets is what'll install on the driver's side and the passenger side of your vehicle frame rails, and they'll also attach to the Under-Bed Rail Kit. Now the mounting hardware to install these brackets are not included.These parts are a nice sturdy, black powder-coat steel, helps resist corrosion. And again, the application's for the Reese Elite Series 5th Wheel Trailer Hitches.Now the capacity on your system will depend on how these brackets are installed.

So when these brackets are used with the Under-Bed Rail Kit, part number RP87FR, and they're welded onto the inner frame with the Max Capacity Brackets, part number 308862, which we sell separately, it'll give you a gooseneck capacity of 35,000 pounds and a 5th wheel capacity of 32,000 pounds. Now, when these inner brackets are bolted onto the inner frame and used with the Under-Bed Rail Kit, RP87FR, it'll give you a gooseneck capacity of 27,500 pounds and a 5th wheel capacity of 27,000 pounds. Now, if you use the system without these inner brackets, then it's only going to be rated for 20,000 pounds maximum.But that should do it for the review on the inner frame brackets for the Reese Under-Bed Rail and Installation Kit for the Reese Elite Series 5th Wheel Hitches.

  • How To Know If Your 2020 Ford F-350 Has An OEM Prep Package And How To Connect A B&W Companion To It
    If your 2020 Ford F-350 has the OEM prep package you'll see 4 "pucks" and a gooseneck hitch opening in the bed (pictured below). If it doesn't have pucks then you could install the Reese Under-Bed Gooseneck Trailer Hitch w/ Custom Installation Kit # RP39FR in order to get pucks with the same spacing as Ford's OEM puck system. *Note: The inner frame brackets should already be welded to the frame. If they are not on your vehicle, you need to order part # RP27FR, sold separately.* The #...

  • Recommended Gooseneck Hitch for a 2017 Ford F-250 w/ Inner Brackets Welded to the Frame
    Yes, we do. What you are describing sounds like the Inner Frame Brackets for Under-Bed Rail and Installation Kit for Reese Elite Series 5th Wheel Hitch item # RP27FR. I have attached a picture below. These come welded to the frame exactly where you described. With these already on your 2017 F-250, I highly recommend installing the Reese Under-Bed Gooseneck Trailer Hitch item # RP39FR. This will not only give you a gooseneck hitch but also the factory puck system that Ford installs as...

    The Inner Frame Brackets for Under-Bed Rail and Installation Kit item # RP27FR you were looking at go with the Under-Bed Rail and Installation Kit for Reese Elite Series 5th Wheel Trailer Hitches item # RP87FR. These are required to install the system if your truck didn't come with the inner rails from the factory.

  • How Difficult Is Installation of Reese RP87FR Elite Under Bed Rail Kit on 2017 Ford F-250
    The Reese Elite Series under bed puck system, part # RP87FR is compatible with your 2017 Ford F250. The puck spacing is identical to hat of the Ford OEM system, so you'd be able to use any puck mounted hitch designed for the Ford OEM tow/prep package puck system. As you can see by clicking the provided instruction link, the bed will indeed need to be removed temporarily for the installation of the rail kit. Also, if the inner brackets shown in figure # 4 aren't welded to the truck frame,...

  • Replacement Brackets for Reese RP87FR Under-bed Rail and Installation Kit
    I believe you're talking about what Reese refers to as inner brackets because they mount to the inner surface of the truck frame. They offer the inner brackets as # RP27FR, as shown in the provided photo.

  • What is the Difference Between the Under-Bed Rail Kit # RP87FR and # RP39FR on My 2021 Ford F-350 SD
    The two parts you mentioned (# RP87FR and # RP39FR) that fit your 2021 Ford F-350 Super Duty will both allow the ability to pull a gooseneck trailer with a gooseneck ball or use a 5th wheel hitch in the puck system. The only difference between them is the overall weight capacity depending on the brackets you use. The weight capacity of the # RP87FR is 32,000 pounds with OEM brackets or the Maximum Capacity Brackets # RP88FR. If you use the Inner Frame Brackets # RP27FR, you will have...

The Only additional item you may need is the Inner Frame Brackets for Under-Bed Rail and Installation Kit for Reese Elite Series 5th Wheel Hitch # RP27FR.

  • Reese Under-Bed 5th Wheel Hitch Mounting Option for 2020 Ford F250
    For a 5th wheel hitch with an under-bed mounting system, the Reese system that includes the # RP30921 sliding Reese M5 5th wheel hitch and the # RP87FR under-bed rail kit would be a good choice for you. You'll want to look under the bed and check that the inner frame brackets are already in place (see provided diagram). If the inner brackets aren't present, you'll also need part # RP27FR. If you'd like to install a 7-way trailer connector in the truck bed, you could do so using part #...

  • Choosing OEM or Aftermarket 5th Wheel Puck System for 2021 Ford F-250
    Having the puck system is a great feature. If you ever plan on loading the bed with mulch, sand or rock you'll quickly find that having rails permanently bolted to the bed floor is a real pain. Not only that, but the pucks look a lot better. I'm not certain what Ford charges for the puck system, but we do offer an aftermarket option to provide the puck system. The Reese Under-Bed Rail and Installation Kit, part # RP87FR would provide the 5th wheel pucks as well as a gooseneck hitch. The...

  • Reese Elite Under Bed Rail System for 2021 Ford F350 Long Bed
    The # RP30138-26 underbed rail kit you mentioned only fits 2011-2016 Ford Super Duty trucks, but the good news is that we do have a rail kit that will work with your 2021 Ford F-350. I'd recommend the Reese # RP87FR, which bolts to brackets that should exist on the inside and outside of your truck's frame. Not all models have the inner brackets though, so if they're not there you'll need the # RP27FR bracket kit. I'll provide a diagram showing what the brackets look like, so you can check...

  • 5th Wheel Hitch And Under Bed Kit For A Short Bed 2019 ford F-350 Super Duty
    It sounds like you need an Under-Bed Rail and Installation Kit # RP87FR for your 2019 Ford F-350. The Reese puck system is the same as the Ford OEM prep package, although, to be safe you should measure for yourself to verify. The capacity of this kit will vary depending on if you use the welded on brackets # RP88FR or the bolt on inner brackets # RP27FR. If you use the bolt on brackets # RP27FR then your capacity is 20,000 lbs, and if you use the weld on brackets # RP88FR, then the capacity...

  • Will Reese Bracket Kit RP27FR Fit 2020 Ford F-250 Factory Ford Crossmember
    The Reese inner brackets part # RP27FR are from the rail kit part # RP87FR which is a fit for your 2020 Ford F-250 so yes it would work with the factory Ford crossmember that you asked about.

  • Looking For Brackets Comparable To Ford OEM Inner Brackets
    I hate to say it Bart, but the bracket you are looking for is not something that we carry. We do offer a few gooseneck or fifth wheel hitch install kits which use similar brackets, such as the Reese Inner Frame Brackets # RP27FR that you were looking at. While the bracket may be designed to install in the same location, it will not be a bolt-on equivalent to the Ford OEM bracket. Possibly with some degree of modification it could be made to work, but that is not something we can really...

  • Replacement Parts for Reese Under-Bed Rail and Installation Kit on 2019 Ford F-250
    We do have the brackets for the # RP87FR which are the Inner Frame Brackets # RP27FR. The puck plugs are # 58199 and then for the gooseneck hole cover # RP30136. The missing hardware is not something that we have right now since Reese has had issues with keeping certain things in stock. I would check with them directly to see if they can supply it. You could also look at the list of parts below to identify what you're missing and potentially source it locally at a hardware store.

  • Are The Outer Frame Plate and Hardware Included With the Under-Bed Rail & Installation Kit # RP87FR?
    Yes, the outer frame brackets are included with the Under-Bed Rail and Installation Kit # RP87FR. All the required hardware is also included to mount it to your frame so you will not need to supply any hardware. We do have the Inner Frame Brackets # RP27FR if you do not have the welded brackets from Ford and want the 27,000LB capacity.

  • Reese Under-Bed Puck System Compatibility With A 2024 Ford F-250
    Hi Dan, Reese hasn't had a 2024 F-250 in yet to test fitment of the Reese Under-Bed Gooseneck Trailer Hitch w/ Custom Installation Kit # RP39FR. The brackets needed to connect the 30180 to the frame are part 30182 or # RP27FR. With both the 2023 and 2024 models using the same gooseneck hitches there's likely no change in fitment and this would work with a 2024, but no one has confirmed it yet.
