Want to take the family on a cross-country adventure? Or perhaps you're planning a shorter trip to your favorite campground. Whatever your destination, it's important to have the right equipment, especially when towing a fifth wheel trailer. To ensure proper hookup and safety while towing, you'll need something to attach your fifth wheel hitch in the bed on your truck. Many pickups come equipped with factory-installed rails or puck systems, but if you don't have one of these already installed, don't worry. REESE has an extensive line of mounting rails and bracket kits, custom-made to the exact specifications needed based on your truck's year, make, and model. REESE also offers several Industry Standard designs, as well as fastener kits, spacer kits, and a Power Puck mounting kit, so you can be sure you're covered, no matter what pickup you're using to tow. So make it easy. Make it fun. Make it REESE, so you can make the journey as enjoyable as the destination.

Reese has designed towing equipment since 1952 and remains a benchmark for heavy-duty towing. The line covers fifth wheel hitches such as the modular M5, gooseneck couplers including the Goose Box, air-ride and short-bed pin boxes, weight distribution systems with active sway control, and the accessories that connect them, all built to exceed published industry standards.
Reese has been pioneering towing performance since 1952, when Margaret Reese asked her husband TJ to stop travel trailers rocking every time somebody walked through them. His answer, the first pair of stabilising jacks, was simple and effective enough to change the RV industry. From that starting point Reese grew into a designer and manufacturer of complete towing systems, and today it anchors the heavy-duty end of the Horizon Global towing portfolio.
Fifth wheel towing is where the brand's engineering is most visible. The M5 fifth wheel hitch uses a modular design that breaks into manageable sections for assembly, with a wider stance, tighter tolerances and a shock absorption system aimed at the jolts that travel up through a truck bed. For owners who would rather tow from a gooseneck coupler and keep the bed clear, the Goose Box 20K replaces the trailer's king pin with a gooseneck connection carrying its own air-ride cushioning.
Pin boxes are a Reese speciality. The 5th Airborne uses air-ride technology to dampen road shock and reduce the chucking motion that makes fifth wheel towing tiring, while the Sidewinder was designed for short-bed pickups, pivoting the connection point so the trailer can turn sharply without the front cap meeting the cab.
For conventional towing, Reese weight distribution systems restore load to the tow vehicle's front axle and control sway. The Pro Round Bar distributes weight evenly while damping sway, and the Pro Dual Cam II uses active cam-based sway control that works harder the stronger the sway force becomes. Complete kits pair bars, head and shank to a rated tongue weight, and dedicated sway control kits can be added to existing setups. The products suit RV owners, horse and livestock haulers and anyone towing near the upper end of a vehicle's rating.

Yes, the Reese Fifth Wheel Hitch Mounting System Custom Bracket RE50074 (Part #RE50074) is designed to fit the 2017-2024 Ford F-250 Super Duty.
The Reese Fifth Wheel Hitch Mounting System Custom Bracket RE50074 (Part #RE50074) fits the following vehicles: 2017-2024 Ford F-250 Super Duty; 2017-2024 Ford F-350 Super Duty. Always verify your specific year, make, and model before ordering.
The Reese Fifth Wheel Hitch Mounting System Custom Bracket RE50074 (Part #RE50074) Drilling is required for installation. Basic hand tools are typically all you need.
Yes, the 50074 is designed specifically for Ford Super Duty trucks. However, before purchasing, visit www.ReeseProducts.com to verify your vehicle application and confirm you have the most recent revision of the installation instructions.
No. Do not install this product on or attempt to tow with a truck with a 5-1/2' bed unless a sidewinder pin box coupler has been installed on the trailer. Without this coupler, the shorter bed creates a clearance and angle issue that compromises safe towing.
No. Do not install mounting rails over plastic bed liners. Plastic bed liners must be cut out of the way to provide metal-to-metal contact. However, the mounting rails may be installed on spray-in liners.
Required tools are: wrenches (3/4" and 15/16"), drill bits (1/8" and 9/16"), center punch, measuring tape, and torque wrench. The fastener kit 50074F is also required and should be supplied with the mounting kit.
The kit includes 11 bolts and associated hardware. The fastener kit 50074F contains: 1/2-13 x 2.00 hex head bolts (2), 1/2-13 handle nut assemblies (2), spacer blocks, U-shaped spacers, 5/8-11 x 4-1/4 Grade 5 hex head bolts (4), 5/8-11 Grade 5 nuts (4), 5/8 flat washers (4), 5/8 conical washers (4), galvanic isolator strips and patches (13 total), and a tube spacer. Some fasteners (1/2-13 nuts, 1/2 conical washers, 1/2-13 carriage bolts, and helical lock washers) are supplied with the rail kit (58058 or 30035), not the mounting kit.
You may need to lower and remove the spare tire if extra room is needed for access. You must also remove inner plastic wheel well liners (if equipped) to allow access to the frame. These components can be reinstalled after installation is complete.
Yes, drilling is required. You must drill 1/8" holes first to mark and align the mounting rails and frame brackets. Most of these 1/8" holes are then enlarged to 9/16". For the center bolt location in row 3, you drill through both the truck bed and the bed cross member/sill/hat section, enlarging to 1-1/8" in the truck bed only and 9/16" in the cross member. All bare metal created by drilling must be painted to prevent corrosion.
Two drill bit sizes are required: 1/8" and 9/16". The 1/8" bit is used first to mark and align holes. Most 1/8" holes are then enlarged to 9/16". The exception is the center bolt location in row 3, where the 1/8" hole in the truck bed is enlarged to 1-1/8" and the hole in the bed cross member/sill/hat section is enlarged to 9/16".
Yes. When drilling holes, be aware of potential risks to vehicle components above and below the truck bed and make appropriate safeguards to protect them from damage. Paint all bare metal after drilling to prevent corrosion. This warning applies to all drilling steps (4, 8, 9, and 14).
Torque all Grade 5, 1/2" hardware to 75 ft-lbs. Torque all Grade 5, 5/8" hardware to 150 ft-lbs. Torque the bed mounting rails to the frame brackets first, then torque the frame brackets to the truck frame. All bolts and nuts in this kit are Grade 5 unless otherwise specified.
Torque all 1/2-13 Grade 5 bolts to 75 ft-lbs.
Torque all 5/8-11 Grade 5 bolts to 150 ft-lbs.
1. Remove spare tire and wheel well liners if needed. 2. Install galvanic isolator strips on rail undersides. 3. Position and mark rear mounting rail holes. 4. Drill 1/8" pilot holes and align with frame brackets. 5. Install galvanic isolator strips on frame brackets. 6. Loosely install frame brackets with 5/8-11 bolts, washers, and nuts (hand tighten). 7. Verify hole alignment. 8. Enlarge 1/8" holes to 9/16" (except row 3 center). 9. Drill and enlarge row 3 center bolt hole (1-1/8" in bed, 9/16" in cross member). 10. Install tube spacer in row 3 center location. 11. Reposition rear rail. 12. Install rear rail attachment bolts with spacers and isolators. 13. Position second rail with hitch product. 14. Mark and drill front rail holes. 15. Repeat steps 6-8 for front rail. 16. Install front rail attachment bolts. 17. Torque all hardware (bed rails to brackets first, then brackets to frame). 18. Reinstall wheel well liners and spare tire.
Galvanic isolator strips must be installed on all surfaces where bare steel components contact the aluminum truck bed. Place 1-1/4 x 48 strips (14) on the bottom surface of each rail before positioning. Install 1-1/4 x 8 strips (11) and 1-1/4 x 4 strips (12) on the frame brackets (18 and 19). Place galvanic isolator patches (13) on U-shaped spacers and spacer blocks. On mounting brackets, place isolator strips on the ends of the bent tabs that contact the truck bed, folding them around the tab end with at least 3/4" of strip on the top side of the bracket. This prevents corrosion between steel and aluminum over the product's life.
1. Place a 5/8" flat washer (8) over each 5/8-11 x 4-1/4" hex head bolt (6). 2. Position the frame brackets over the frame mounting holes. 3. Route the 5/8-11 x 4-1/4" hex bolt through the frame bracket and vehicle frame from the outside of the frame to the inside. 4. Install the 5/8 conical washer (9) and then the 5/8-11 nut (7) over the bolt. 5. Hand tighten initially. 6. Verify that the 1/8" drilled holes align with the slots of the frame brackets. If they do not align, adjust the brackets as needed. If alignment cannot be achieved, restart the installation from step 4 (drilling). Once aligned, remove the rails and brackets to proceed with enlarging holes.
For row 3 outer bolts: use 1/2-13 x 2 hex head bolts (1) on top of the rail with a galvanic isolator patch (13), 1/2 x 1-1/2 x 2-1/4 spacer block (3), and a nut handle (2). For row 3 center bolt (through bed cross member): route a 1/2-13 x 4-1/2 carriage bolt (21) through the rail and tube spacer (20), secure with a 1/4 x 1-1/2 x 3 spacer (5), 1/2 conical washer (16), and 1/2-13 nut (15). For row 4 center bolt: route a 1/2-13 x 2 carriage bolt (17) through the rail and bed with a 1/2 x 1-1/2 x 2-1/4 spacer (3) between rail and bed, secure with a 1/4 x 1-1/2 x 3 spacer (5), 1/2 conical washer (16), and 1/2-13 nut (15). Ensure galvanic isolator patches are installed on all spacers. Attach 1/2" conical washers (16) and hex nuts (15) on the bottom side of the frame brackets and tighten snug to keep the rail from moving.
Place the unassembled 5th wheel legs/slider/goose into the already installed rear mounting rail. Position the second mounting rail with the legs/slider/goose by inserting the tabs into the mounting rail and pushing the mounting rail tight towards the other mounting rail. Ensure that the mounting rail is centered between the weld seams on the length of the truck box floor. This will position the mounting rail in the correct location and ensure that the 5th wheel will have a snug fit to the truck. If more than one hitch product will be used with the rails, both should be used at the same time to align the second rail, ensuring that one product does not compromise the fit of the other.
Under no circumstances do we recommend exceeding the towing vehicle manufacturer's recommended vehicle towing capacity. Always measure the truck and trailer before installing the hitch to ensure there is clearance at the cab and at the bumper to allow for turns.
Contact between any bare steel components (frame mounting brackets, U-shaped spacers, mounting rails) and bare aluminum bed causes corrosion over the product's life. The galvanic isolator strips and patches provide a protective layer that prevents this corrosion. It is critical that the paint is not damaged on the brackets, and any areas where holes were drilled through the bed must be repainted.
After all hardware is torqued, reinstall the inner plastic wheel well liner and spare tire if they were removed. Verify that all bolts are torqued to specification (75 ft-lbs for 1/2" Grade 5 hardware, 150 ft-lbs for 5/8" Grade 5 hardware), with bed mounting rails torqued to frame brackets first, then frame brackets to the truck frame. Ensure all galvanic isolator strips and patches are properly installed. Verify that the mounting rails are centered between the weld seams on the truck box floor.
Yes, the 50074 Custom Quick Install Mounting Kit is designed for Ford Super Duty. Do not use on 5-1/2' beds without a sidewinder pin box coupler on the trailer. Verify your specific vehicle application at www.ReeseProducts.com before purchase.
You need: 3/4" and 15/16" wrenches, 1/8" and 9/16" drill bits, center punch, measuring tape, and a torque wrench. The fastener kit 50074F is included.
Yes. You must drill 1/8" pilot holes, then enlarge most to 9/16". The row 3 center bolt requires drilling through the bed (enlarged to 1-1/8") and cross member (enlarged to 9/16"). Paint all bare metal after drilling.
Torque 1/2" Grade 5 bolts to 75 ft-lbs and 5/8" Grade 5 bolts to 150 ft-lbs. Torque bed rails to frame brackets first, then brackets to the truck frame.
No. Plastic bed liners must be cut away to provide metal-to-metal contact. Spray-in liners are acceptable.
Do not exceed the vehicle manufacturer's recommended towing capacity. Always measure the truck and trailer before installation to ensure clearance at the cab and bumper for turns.
First, try adjusting the frame brackets to achieve alignment. If adjustment does not work, you must restart the installation at step 4 (drilling). Remove the rails and brackets, re-mark the hole positions, and drill new 1/8" pilot holes. This ensures proper alignment before you enlarge the holes to 9/16", which is a permanent modification.
No. Do not install this product on or attempt to tow with a truck with a 5-1/2' bed unless a sidewinder pin box coupler has been installed on the trailer. Without this coupler, the shorter bed creates unsafe angles and clearance issues. If you have already installed the kit on a 5-1/2' bed without a sidewinder coupler, you must either install the coupler on your trailer or remove the kit.
Corrosion occurs when bare steel components (frame mounting brackets, U-shaped spacers, mounting rails) contact bare aluminum bed. This indicates that the galvanic isolator strips or patches were not installed correctly, or the paint on the brackets was damaged. To prevent further corrosion, ensure all galvanic isolator strips (14, 11, 12) and patches (13) are properly installed on all surfaces where steel contacts aluminum. Repaint any areas where holes were drilled through the bed.
