Underbed Fifth Wheel Hitch Option for 2018 Ford F-350 without Hitch Prep
Question:
I have a 2016 ford with the factory under bed hitch, looking at a 2018 without factory equipment is there an underbed hitch available with both the reese fifth wheel and Goose neck? similar to the RP30138-26.

Helpful Expert Reply:
Reese does not make an aftermarket Elite rail kit for the versions of the 2018 Ford F-350 that do not come with the factory hitch prep package but you can get the rail kit from Ford and have it installed after the fact.
Otherwise you could look into the B and W fifth wheel/gooseneck setup. For that you'd want the Turnoverball rail kit part # BWGNRK1116 for a rail kit that doubles as a gooseneck hitch and then for a fifth wheel hitch you'd want the part # BWRVK3500 for if you have a long bed or part # BWRVK3400 for if you have a short bed and need a slider hitch.
