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, Outboard RE56019 (Part #RE56019) is designed to fit the 2023-2024 Ford F-250 Super Duty.
The Reese Fifth Wheel Hitch Mounting System Custom Bracket, Outboard RE56019 (Part #RE56019) Drilling is required for installation. Basic hand tools are typically all you need.
Yes, the 56019 Custom Quick Install Mounting Kit is designed for 2023+ Ford Super Duty F-250, F-350, and F-450 trucks with all bed lengths. However, do not install on a 5-1/2' bed unless a sidewinder pin box coupler has been installed on the trailer.
Required tools: 3/4" and 15/16" wrenches, drill bits (1/8", 9/16", 1-1/8"), center punch, measuring tape, and torque wrench. The fastener kit 56017F is included.
Yes. Drilling is required at multiple locations using 1/8", 9/16", and 1-1/8" drill bits. Plastic bed liners must be cut away to provide metal-to-metal contact; spray-in liners may remain. Be aware of potential risks to vehicle components above and below the truck bed.
Torque all 1/2" Grade 8 hardware to 110 ft-lbs. Torque all 5/8" Grade 8 hardware to 212 ft-lbs. First torque the bed mounting rails to the frame brackets, then torque the frame brackets to the truck frame.
Do not exceed the towing vehicle manufacturer's recommended towing capacity. Do not install on a 5-1/2' bed unless a sidewinder pin box coupler is installed on the trailer. When drilling, be aware of potential risks to vehicle components above and below the truck bed.
Check mounting system bolt tightness once per year. Repaint any areas where holes were drilled through the bed to prevent corrosion.
The Reese 56019 Custom Quick Install Mounting Kit is a rail mounting system for 5th wheel hitches on 2023+ Ford Super Duty F-250, F-350, and F-450 trucks. It uses 11 bolts to secure two mounting rails to the truck bed and frame, providing a foundation for 5th wheel coupling. The kit includes galvanic isolators to prevent corrosion between steel components and the aluminum truck bed.
The kit includes: two mounting rails (front and rear), two frame brackets (driver and passenger side), galvanic isolator strips and patches, U-shaped spacers, tube spacers, spacer blocks, and fasteners (bolts, nuts, washers). The fastener kit 56017F is included. Some fasteners (items 13, 14, 15) are supplied with the separate 30153 rail kit.
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. This restriction applies to prevent interference during turns.
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 between the rails and the truck bed. Mounting rails may be installed on spray-in liners.
You may need to lower and remove the spare tire if extra room is needed for installation. If your truck is equipped with an inner plastic wheel well liner, you must remove it to allow access to the frame.
Center each rail between the weld seams on the length of the truck box floor or wheel well. The rear rail should be positioned 29-1/8" from the rear edge of the truck bed. The front rail is positioned using the same centering method. Both rails must be centered between the weld seams to ensure the 5th wheel has a snug fit.
Place galvanic isolator strips on the ends of the bent tabs on the mounting bracket that come into contact with the truck bed. Place them on the end of the bent tabs and fold them around the end of the tab, ensuring that at least 3/4" of isolator strip is on the top side of the bracket. This prevents corrosion between steel brackets and the aluminum bed.
1. Place a 5/8" flat washer over each 5/8-11 x 4-1/4" hex head bolt. 2. Position the frame brackets over the frame mounting holes and route the bolt through the bracket and vehicle frame from outside to inside. 3. Install the 5/8" conical washer and 5/8-11 nut over the bolt and hand tighten. 4. Check alignment of drilled holes with bracket slots. 5. If aligned, remove rails and brackets and proceed to enlarge holes.
Row 3 bolts pass through both the truck bed and the truck bed crossmember. Use 1/2-13 x 5.50 carriage bolts (item 2) routed through the rail, tube spacer (18), and 1/2 x 1 x 2 spacer (3). Secure with a .250 x 1.5 x 3 spacer (5), 1/2" conical washer (14), and 1/2-13 nut (13). Ensure galvanic isolator patches are installed on the spacers. The holes in the truck bed only are enlarged to 1-1/8"; do not enlarge the crossmember hole to 1-1/8".
Place the unassembled 5th wheel legs/slider/goose into the already-installed first mounting rail. Position the second mounting rail by inserting its tabs into the mounting rail and pushing it tight towards the first rail. Ensure the second rail is centered between the weld seams on the truck box floor. 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 and ensure one product does not compromise the fit of the other.
1. Mark and center punch hole locations per Figure 2. 2. Drill initial 1/8" holes (ensure Row 3 holes pass through both bed and crossmember). 3. Check alignment of 1/8" holes with bracket slots; adjust brackets if needed. 4. Enlarge all rail bolt holes to 9/16" (ensure Row 3 holes pass through both bed and crossmember). 5. Enlarge Row 3 holes in the truck bed only to 1-1/8"; do not enlarge the crossmember hole. 6. Repaint any areas where holes were drilled through the bed.
Three drill bit sizes are required: 1/8" for initial hole marking and drilling, 9/16" for enlarging rail bolt holes, and 1-1/8" for enlarging Row 3 holes in the truck bed only (not the crossmember).
The kit uses 5/8-11 x 4-1/4" Grade 8 hex head bolts (item 6). Four bolts are included. Each bolt is installed with a 5/8" flat washer (item 8), a 5/8" conical washer (item 9), and a 5/8-11 Grade 8 nut (item 7). These bolts connect the frame brackets to the truck frame and must be torqued to 212 ft-lbs.
Two types of 1/2" carriage bolts are used: 1/2-13 x 5.50 Grade 8 (item 2, three included) for Row 3 bolts passing through the crossmember, and 1/2-13 x 2.00 (item 15, eight supplied with the 30153 rail kit) for center rail bolts in Rows 1 and 4. All 1/2" Grade 8 hardware must be torqued to 110 ft-lbs.
The kit includes: U-shaped spacers 1/4 x 1 x 2 (item 4, 12 included), spacer blocks 1/2 x 1 x 2 (item 3, 5 included), spacer blocks .250 x 1.5 x 3 (item 5, 3 included), and tube spacers (item 18, 3 included). Spacers are placed between the rail and truck bed to maintain proper clearance and alignment. Galvanic isolator patches must be installed on spacers to prevent corrosion.
The kit includes 5/8" flat washers (item 8, 4 included) and 5/8" conical washers (item 9, 4 included) for the frame bracket bolts. It also includes 1/2" conical washers (item 14, 11 supplied with the 30153 rail kit) for the rail attachment bolts. All washers are Grade 8 unless otherwise specified.
The kit includes 5/8-11 Grade 8 nuts (item 7, 4 included) for the frame bracket bolts. It also includes 1/2-13 Grade 5 nuts (item 13, 11 supplied with the 30153 rail kit) for the rail attachment bolts. All nuts must be torqued according to bolt size: 1/2" Grade 8 hardware to 110 ft-lbs, 5/8" Grade 8 hardware to 212 ft-lbs.
The manual does not mention any electrical connections or wiring requirements for the 56019 mounting kit. It is a mechanical mounting system only.
The kit includes galvanic isolator strips and patches to prevent corrosion between bare steel components (frame brackets, U-shaped spacers, mounting rails) and the aluminum truck bed. Isolator strips (items 1, 10, 12) are placed on the bottom surface of rails and on bracket tabs. Isolator patches (item 11) are placed on spacers. Repaint any areas where holes were drilled through the bed. Contact between bare steel and bare aluminum causes corrosion over time.
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. Ensure that 1/8" holes drilled in Row 3 pass through both the truck bed and the truck bed crossmember. Ensure that 9/16" holes in Row 3 also pass through both the bed and crossmember. Do not enlarge the hole in the truck bed crossmember to 1-1/8".
Use only bolts, nuts, and washers supplied with the kit to install the 56019. All bolts and nuts are Grade 8 unless otherwise specified. Do not substitute fasteners. The fastener kit 56017F is included with the 56019.
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. After installation, check mounting system bolt tightness once per year. Refer to the mounting bracket rating label for correct towing capacity.
The kit includes a Limited Lifetime Warranty covering material defects and workmanship, provided installation and use comply with product instructions. The warranty does not cover normal wear and tear, damage from abuse, misuse, accidents, misapplication, overloading, improper installation, improper maintenance, or unauthorized alterations. To claim warranty, contact Horizon Global Americas at 47912 Halyard Dr., Suite 100, Plymouth, MI 48170, 1-800-632-3290, with the product model number and purchase receipt.
Check mounting system bolt tightness once per year. This ensures the fasteners remain secure and the system maintains its structural integrity.
Repaint any areas where holes were drilled through the bed. This prevents water intrusion and corrosion at the drilled locations.
Ensure that both mounting rails are centered between the weld seams on the length of the truck box floor. If the rails are not centered, loosen the fasteners and reposition the rails. The rails must be centered to ensure the 5th wheel has a snug fit to the truck. If using multiple hitch products, both should be positioned simultaneously to ensure proper alignment.
Corrosion occurs when bare steel components contact bare aluminum. To prevent this, ensure galvanic isolator strips and patches are properly installed on all surfaces that contact the truck bed. If corrosion has already occurred, the affected area should be cleaned and repainted. For future prevention, verify that all isolator strips (items 1, 10, 12) and patches (item 11) are in place and intact.
The manual does not provide instructions for correcting this error. Row 3 holes in the truck bed crossmember should only be 9/16". If a hole has been enlarged to 1-1/8", contact the manufacturer at 1-800-632-3290 or the installer for guidance on repair or replacement of the affected component.
Check mounting system bolt tightness once per year. If fasteners are found to be loose, re-torque them to the specified values: 1/2" Grade 8 hardware to 110 ft-lbs, 5/8" Grade 8 hardware to 212 ft-lbs. Torque the bed mounting rails to the frame brackets first, then torque the frame brackets to the truck frame.
