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.

The Reese Fifth Wheel Hitch Mounting System Custom Bracket RE50082 (Part #RE50082) Refer to the included instructions for installation details. Basic hand tools are typically all you need.
Yes. Part number 50082 is designed for 1999 to 2010 Ford Super Duty F-250/F-350 and 2008 to 2010 F-450 trucks. Your 2006 F-250 is within the supported range.
No. The 50082 is designed for 1999 to 2010 Ford Super Duty F-250/F-350 and 2008 to 2010 F-450 only. A 2011 model is outside the supported range and may not fit correctly.
Yes. The 50082 is compatible with 2008 to 2010 F-450 trucks, which includes your 2009 model.
You will need: wrenches in 3/4", 7/8", 15/16", and 15 mm sizes; drill bits in 1/8" and 9/16" (for 10-bolt system) or 11/16" (for 4-bolt system); a center punch; and a measuring tape. The fastener kit 50082F is also required.
Yes. The instructions refer to using a "step drill" to enlarge the initial 1/8" holes to either 9/16" (10-bolt system) or 11/16" (4-bolt system). A step drill is the recommended tool for this enlargement.
Not necessarily. The manual states to "lower and remove spare tire if extra room is needed for the installation." This is optional and depends on whether you have sufficient working space without removing it.
No. The manual explicitly states: "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, spray-in liners are acceptable and do not need to be removed.
The vapor tube runs along the inside of the driver's side frame rail. On 2005 to 2010 gas engine vehicles only, this tube must be relocated before installing the driver's side bracket. You will remove the flange nut from the outside of the frame, rotate the tubes up and out of the way, and install an L-bracket (part 7) with 1/4" hardware to hold them in place. The flange nut is reused to secure the tube holder after installation.
Yes. On 1999 to 2004 vehicles only, you must remove the upper emergency brake cable hanger from the frame and keep the hardware for reuse. This hardware is then used to attach the upper brake cable to the frame bracket during installation.
Yes. Drilling is required. You must drill initial 1/8" holes through the truck bed floor at marked positions, then enlarge them to 9/16" (10-bolt system) or 11/16" (4-bolt system). The manual warns that when drilling, you must be aware of potential risks to brake lines and fuel tanks and take appropriate safeguards to protect them from damage.
For the 10-bolt system, you first drill 1/8" holes, then enlarge them to 9/16" using a step drill.
For the 4-bolt system, you first drill 1/8" holes, then enlarge them to 11/16" using a step drill.
All 1/2" Grade 5 hardware must be torqued to 72 ft-lbs (98 N-m). This applies to both the 10-bolt and 4-bolt systems.
All 5/8" Grade 5 hardware must be torqued to 150 ft-lbs (204 N-m). This applies to both the 10-bolt and 4-bolt systems.
All 5/8" Grade 8 hardware must be torqued to 212 ft-lbs (287 N-m). This applies to both the 10-bolt and 4-bolt systems.
Tighten fasteners in this sequence: 1) torque the mounting rails to the frame brackets, 2) torque the frame brackets to the truck frame. Then apply the specified torque values: 1/2" Grade 5 to 72 ft-lbs (98 N-m), 5/8" Grade 5 to 150 ft-lbs (204 N-m), and 5/8" Grade 8 to 212 ft-lbs (287 N-m).
Place the mounting rail in the truck bed and use a measuring tape to center it between the weld seams on the length of the truck box floor. Position it at the proper distance from the rear edge of the truck box as illustrated in the installation figures (Figure 5 for 10-bolt, Figure 7 for 4-bolt). The manual specifies approximate distances: for an 8-foot bed, approximately 52-5/16" from the front of the box; for a 6-foot 6-inch bed, approximately 36-1/8" from the front of the box.
No. The manual requires you to hand-tighten or finger-tighten fasteners during initial installation, then tighten them in a specific sequence at the end. Frame brackets are attached with hand-tightened u-bolts and finger-tightened carriage bolts. Mounting rail fasteners are snugged to keep the rail from moving. Final torque is applied only after both rails are positioned and aligned.
The 10-bolt system uses rail kit 58058 or 30035 and requires drilling 9/16" holes. The 4-bolt system uses rail kit 30124 or 30095 and requires drilling 11/16" holes. The 10-bolt system uses 1/2" x 2" carriage bolts with U-shaped spacers at the ends and a conical washer in the middle. The 4-bolt system uses 5/8" carriage bolts with 1-1/4" tube spacers and 5/16" spacers positioned based on corrugation location. Both systems use the same frame bracket attachment method but differ in rail-to-bed attachment.
For 2008 and later trucks, use the slot in the frame that is over the axle to attach the frame bracket with a 5/8" carriage bolt (part 9). Use a 5/8" spacer (part 10) between the bracket and frame on the outside. On the inside of the frame, attach the 5/8" bolt with a 1/4" x 1-1/2" x 3" spacer (part 11), lock washer (part 12), and hex nut (part 13). Finger-tighten only during initial installation.
For 1999–2007 trucks, use the slot in the frame that is under the rear bed support to attach the frame bracket with a 5/8" carriage bolt (part 9). Do not use a 5/8" spacer between the bracket and frame. On the inside of the frame, attach the 5/8" bolt with a 1/4" x 1-1/2" x 3" spacer (part 11), lock washer (part 12), and hex nut (part 13). Finger-tighten only during initial installation.
The U-shaped spacer (part 1) is installed in the corrugation between the truck bed and the mounting rails before inserting the 1/2" carriage bolts. It ensures metal-to-metal contact between the rail and bed. U-shaped spacers are used at the ends of the rails but are not needed for the attachment at the center of the rail.
The 4-bolt system uses two types of spacers: a 5/16" spacer (part 3) placed between the bed and rail if the drilled hole is in the bottom of the corrugation, or between the bottom of the bed and the bracket below the bed if the hole is on top of the corrugation; and 1-1/4" tube spacers (part 2) placed under the rails. These ensure proper alignment and metal-to-metal contact.
Place the unassembled fifth wheel saddles/slider/goose into the already installed first mounting rail. Position the second mounting rail with the saddles/slider/goose by inserting the tabs into the mounting rail and pushing the mounting rail tight towards the other mounting rail. Ensure the second rail is centered between the weld seams on the length of the truck box floor. If more than one hitch product will be used with the rails, use both at the same time to align the second rail and ensure one product does not compromise the fit of the other.
Yes. The manual states: "Always measure truck and trailer before installing hitch to be sure that there is clearance at the cab and at the bumper to allow for turns." This is a critical safety step to verify the installation does not interfere with vehicle operation.
The 50082 kit includes: 8 spacers 1/4" x 1-1/2" x 2"; 4 hex nuts 1/2"-13; 4 conical washers 1/2"; 2 flat washers 1/4"; 1 nylok nut 1/4"-20; 6 hex head bolts 1/4"-20 x 1-1/4" Grade 2; 1 L-bracket; 2 U-bolts 1/2"-13 x 7-3/8" x 4"; 2 carriage bolts 5/8"-11 x 2-1/2" Grade 8; 2 blocks 5/8" x 1-1/2" x 2-1/8"; 2 spacers 1/4" x 1-1/2" x 3"; 2 lock washers 5/8" plated; and 2 hex nuts 5/8"-11 Grade 8. Additional fasteners are supplied with rail kits 30035, 58058, 30124, or 30095.
The fastener kit part number is 50082F. This kit contains all the bolts, nuts, washers, spacers, and brackets needed for installation.
If fasteners with the rail kit are missing, order service kit 58430. The manual notes that fasteners listed in the kit chart are supplied with the 50082, while all other unidentified fasteners are supplied with part numbers 30035, 58058, 30095, or 30124 (the rail kits).
No. The manual explicitly states: "Use only bolts, nuts, and washers supplied to install this kit." All bolts are Grade 5 and nuts are Grade 5 unless otherwise specified. Using non-supplied fasteners may compromise the integrity and safety of the installation.
The manual does not specify a towing capacity for the kit itself. However, it includes this warning: "Under no circumstances do we recommend exceeding the towing vehicle manufacturers recommended vehicle towing capacity." You must consult your Ford Super Duty owner's manual for the vehicle's maximum towing capacity and never exceed it.
When drilling holes, be aware of potential risks to vehicle components such as brake lines and fuel tanks, and take appropriate safeguards to protect them from damage. The manual emphasizes this warning twice during the drilling steps to ensure you do not accidentally damage critical vehicle systems.
The 50082 fits 1999–2010 Ford Super Duty F-250/F-350 and 2008–2010 F-450 only. Check your truck's year and model against this range.
You need wrenches (3/4", 7/8", 15/16", 15 mm), drill bits (1/8", 9/16" for 10-bolt or 11/16" for 4-bolt), a center punch, measuring tape, and fastener kit 50082F.
Yes. You must drill 1/8" holes through the truck bed, then enlarge them to 9/16" (10-bolt) or 11/16" (4-bolt). When drilling, protect brake lines and fuel tanks from damage.
No. Plastic bed liners must be cut away to provide metal-to-metal contact. Spray-in liners are acceptable.
Torque 1/2" Grade 5 fasteners to 72 ft-lbs (98 N-m), 5/8" Grade 5 to 150 ft-lbs (204 N-m), and 5/8" Grade 8 to 212 ft-lbs (287 N-m). Tighten rails to brackets first, then brackets to frame.
On 2005–2010 gas engines, relocate the vapor tube and use an L-bracket. On 1999–2004 models, remove the emergency brake cable hanger. Both are required modifications.
Do not exceed your vehicle manufacturer's recommended towing capacity. Always measure truck and trailer clearance at the cab and bumper before use to ensure safe turning.
