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 Install Kit RE50074-58 (Part #RE50074-58) fits 2017-2024 Ford F-250 Super Duty models. The 2024 model year is the last year covered by this part number. For newer models, check for an updated version.
The Reese Fifth Wheel Hitch Mounting System Custom Install Kit RE50074-58 (Part #RE50074-58) 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 Install Kit RE50074-58 (Part #RE50074-58) Drilling is required for installation. Basic hand tools are typically all you need.
Yes, the 50074 is designed for Ford Super Duty. However, do not install on trucks with a 5-1/2' bed unless a sidewinder pin box coupler has been installed on the trailer. Always measure your truck and trailer before installation to verify clearance at the cab and bumper for turns.
You will need: wrenches (3/4" and 15/16"), drill bits (1/8" and 9/16"), a center punch, a measuring tape, and a torque wrench. The fastener kit 50074F is also required.
Yes. You must drill 1/8" pilot holes, then enlarge most to 9/16". The center bolt location in Row 3 requires special drilling: 1/8" through both bed and cross member, enlarged to 1-1/8" in the bed only and 9/16" in the cross member. When drilling, protect vehicle components above and below the bed and paint all bare metal.
Torque all Grade 5, 1/2" hardware to 75 ft-lbs. Torque all Grade 5, 5/8" hardware to 150 ft-lbs. First torque the bed mounting rails to the frame brackets, then torque the frame brackets to the truck frame.
You may need to lower and remove the spare tire if extra room is needed. If your truck has an inner plastic wheel well liner, you must remove it to allow access to the frame. Both should be reinstalled after installation is complete.
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. Mounting rails may be installed on spray-in liners.
Under no circumstances should you exceed the towing vehicle manufacturer's recommended vehicle towing capacity. The kit itself does not establish a separate capacity limit.
The kit includes two mounting rails (rear and front), frame brackets (driver and passenger side), galvanic isolator strips and patches, spacer blocks, U-shaped spacers, a tube spacer, and fasteners (bolts, nuts, washers). The fastener kit 50074F is supplied separately. The kit uses 11 bolts total. Some fasteners (items 10, 15, 16, 17) are supplied with rail kits 58058 or 30035.
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 the specific bed length.
Galvanic isolator strips protect the aluminum truck bed from corrosion caused by contact between bare steel components (frame brackets, U-shaped spacers, mounting rails) and bare aluminum. It is critical that isolator strips (14) are placed on the bottom surface of each rail, isolator strips (11) and (12) are installed on frame brackets, isolator patches (13) are installed on spacers, and isolator strips are placed on the bent tabs of mounting brackets. At least 3/4" of isolator strip must be on the top side of the bracket.
Using a measuring tape, center each rail between the weld seams on the length of the truck box floor or between the wheel well and the proper distance from the rear edge of the truck. The rails must be centered to ensure the 5th wheel has a snug fit. If more than one hitch product will be used with the rails, install both simultaneously to ensure one product does not compromise the fit of the other.
1. Install galvanic isolator strips (11) and (12) on frame brackets (18) and (19). 2. Loosely install frame brackets using appropriate hardware and hand tighten. 3. Place a 5/8" flat washer (8) over each 5/8-11 x 4-1/4" hex head bolt (6). 4. Position frame brackets over frame mounting holes and route the bolt through the bracket and vehicle frame from outside to inside. 5. Install the 5/8 conical washer (9) and 5/8-11 nut (7) and hand tighten. 6. Check that 1/8" drilled holes align with bracket slots; adjust as needed. 7. If holes do not align, restart drilling. When aligned, remove rails and brackets and proceed to enlarging holes.
Initial pilot holes are 1/8". Most holes are then enlarged to 9/16", except the center bolt location in Row 3. For Row 3 center bolt: drill 1/8" through both truck bed and cross member/sill/hat section, enlarge to 1-1/8" in the truck bed only, and enlarge to 9/16" in the cross member/sill/hat section. The approximate spacing between holes is 3/16".
Ensure galvanic isolator patches (13) are installed on U-shaped spacers and spacer blocks. Attach 1/2" conical washers (16) and hex nuts (15) on the bottom side of frame brackets (18) and (19) and tighten snug. For Row 3 outer bolts: use 1/2-13 x 2 hex head bolts (1) on top of rail with galvanic isolator patch (13), 1/2 x 1-1/2 x 2-1/4 spacer block (3), and nut handle (2). For Row 3 center bolt through cross member: route 1/2-13 x 4-1/2 carriage bolt (21) through rail and tube spacer (20), secure with 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 1/2-13 x 2 carriage bolt (17) through rail and bed with 1/2 x 1-1/2 x 2-1/4 spacer (3) between rail and bed, secure with 1/4 x 1-1/2 x 3 spacer (5), 1/2 conical washer (16), and 1/2-13 nut (15).
The tube spacer (20) is placed in the center rail bolt location in Row 3. It provides structural support for the center carriage bolt (21) that passes through the truck bed cross member/sill/hat section.
Torque all Grade 5, 1/2" hardware to 75 ft-lbs. This applies to bolts, nuts, and related fasteners of this size and grade.
Torque all Grade 5, 5/8" hardware to 150 ft-lbs. This applies to the frame bracket mounting bolts and related fasteners of this size and grade.
First, torque the bed mounting rails to the frame brackets. Then, torque the frame brackets to the truck frame. This sequence ensures proper alignment and load distribution.
Repeat the same process as the rear rail: (1) Mark and center punch holes per Figure 3. (2) Move the front rail and frame brackets out of the way and drill with a 1/8" bit. (3) Repeat steps 6, 7, and 8 (install frame brackets loosely, check alignment, enlarge holes to 9/16"). (4) Install front rail attachment bolts and spacers as shown in Figure 3, ensuring galvanic isolator patches are installed on spacers. (5) Attach 1/2" conical washers (16) and hex nuts (15) on the bottom of frame brackets and tighten snug.
Yes. After drilling holes, paint all bare metal to prevent corrosion. This is especially important where holes are drilled through the bed. The manual specifically warns to paint all bare metal when drilling and to repaint any areas where holes were drilled through the bed.
Place the unassembled 5th wheel legs/slider/goose into the already installed rear mounting rail. Position the second (front) 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 the front rail is centered between the weld seams on the length of the truck box floor. This positions the rail correctly and ensures the 5th wheel has a snug fit.
Before installation, visit www.ReeseProducts.com to verify that your kit contains the most recent revision of installation instructions and to confirm vehicle application. Always measure your truck and trailer before installing the hitch to ensure there is clearance at the cab and at the bumper to allow for turns.
Most fasteners are supplied with the 50074 kit. However, some fasteners (items 10, 15, 16, 17: helical lock washers, 1/2-13 nuts, 1/2 conical washers, and 1/2-13 carriage bolts) are supplied with rail kits 58058 or 30035, not with the 50074 mounting kit itself. Use only bolts, nuts, and washers supplied to install this kit. All bolts and nuts are Grade 5 unless otherwise specified.
The fastener kit number is 50074F. This kit is required for installation.
If the 1/8" drilled holes do not align with the slots of the frame brackets (18) and (19), adjust the frame brackets as needed. If adjustment does not align the holes, restart the installation at step 4 (re-mark and re-drill the holes). When the holes finally align with the rails and brackets, remove the rails and brackets and proceed to step 8 (enlarging the holes).
Place galvanic isolator strips on the ends of the bent tabs on the mounting brackets 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.
The 5/8-11 x 4-1/4" Grade 5 hex head bolts (item 6) are used to mount the frame brackets to the vehicle frame. Four bolts are included. Each bolt is installed with a 5/8" flat washer (8) on top, routed through the frame bracket and vehicle frame from outside to inside, and secured with a 5/8 conical washer (9) and 5/8-11 nut (7). These bolts are torqued to 150 ft-lbs.
The 1/2-13 x 2" hex head bolts (item 1) are used for the outer bolts in Row 3 of the rear rail attachment. Two bolts are included. Each is installed on top of the rail with a galvanic isolator patch (13), a 1/2 x 1-1/2 x 2-1/4 spacer block (3), and a nut handle (2). These bolts are torqued to 75 ft-lbs.
The 1/2-13 x 4-1/2" Grade 5 carriage bolt (item 21) is used for the center bolt in Row 3, which passes through the truck bed cross member/sill/hat section. One bolt is included. It is routed through the rail and tube spacer (20) and secured with a 1/4 x 1-1/2 x 3 spacer (5), 1/2 conical washer (16), and 1/2-13 nut (15). This bolt is torqued to 75 ft-lbs.
The 1/2-13 x 2" carriage bolt (item 17) is used for the center rail bolt in Row 4 of the rear rail attachment bolts. It is routed through the rail and bed with a 1/2 x 1-1/2 x 2-1/4 spacer (3) between the rail and bed, then secured with a 1/4 x 1-1/2 x 3 spacer (5), 1/2 conical washer (16), and 1/2-13 nut (15). This bolt is torqued to 75 ft-lbs.
The nut handle (item 2) is used with the 1/2-13 x 2" hex head bolts (item 1) in Row 3 of the rear rail attachment. It provides a handle for securing the bolt on the bottom side of the mounting rail.
The 1/4 x 1 x 2 U-shaped spacers (item 4) are used to provide spacing and support between the mounting rail and the truck bed. Twelve spacers are included. Galvanic isolator patches (13) must be installed on these spacers to prevent corrosion between steel and aluminum.
Two types of spacer blocks are used: (1) 1/2 x 1-1/2 x 2-1/4 spacer blocks (item 3, five included) provide spacing between the rail and bed for most bolts; (2) 1/4 x 1-1/2 x 3 spacer blocks (item 5, three included) are used under the conical washers and nuts on the bottom side of the frame brackets. Galvanic isolator patches must be installed on these spacers.
Conical washers (items 9 and 16) are used to distribute load and create a secure connection. The 5/8 conical washers (item 9, four included) are used with the frame bracket mounting bolts. The 1/2 conical washers (item 16, ten included) are used on the bottom side of the frame brackets with the rail attachment bolts.
The 5/8 flat washers (item 8, four included) are placed over each 5/8-11 x 4-1/4" hex head bolt (6) before the bolt is routed through the frame bracket and vehicle frame. They distribute the load of the bolt head.
The frame brackets are the driver side bracket (item 18) and passenger side bracket (item 19). One of each is included. These brackets mount to the vehicle frame and support the mounting rails. Galvanic isolator strips (11) and (12) must be installed on these brackets, and galvanic isolator strips must be placed on the bent tabs that contact the truck bed.
The manual states to center the rear mounting rail between the weld seams on the length of the truck box floor or the wheel well and the proper distance from the rear edge of the truck, but does not specify the exact distance. You must refer to Figure 2 or contact the manufacturer for the specific measurement for your truck model.
If the 1/8" drilled holes do not align with the slots of the frame brackets (18) and (19), first try adjusting the frame brackets as needed. If adjustment does not align the holes, you must restart the installation at step 4: remove the rails and brackets, re-mark the hole positions, and re-drill the 1/8" pilot holes. Once the holes align with the rails and brackets, remove the rails and brackets again and proceed to step 8 to enlarge the holes.
The rail must be centered between the weld seams on the length of the truck box floor or wheel well. If the rail is not centered, reposition it before marking and drilling holes. Use a measuring tape to verify the rail is centered. If holes have already been drilled, you may need to restart the installation at step 3 to reposition the rail and re-mark the holes.
No. Do not install mounting rails over plastic bed liners. The plastic bed liner must be cut out of the way to provide metal-to-metal contact between the rail and the truck bed. Mounting rails may be installed on spray-in liners, which do not need to be removed.
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. If your trailer does not have a sidewinder coupler, you cannot use this kit on a 5-1/2' bed truck.
Contact between bare steel components (frame brackets, U-shaped spacers, mounting rails) and bare aluminum bed causes corrosion over time. To prevent this: (1) Ensure the paint is not damaged on the brackets. (2) Install all galvanic isolator strips and patches as specified: strips (14) on bottom of rails, strips (11) and (12) on frame brackets, patches (13) on spacers, and strips on the bent tabs of brackets with at least 3/4" on the top side. (3) Paint all bare metal after drilling. (4) Repaint any areas where holes were drilled through the bed. The kit includes galvanic isolators that provide an extra layer of protection.
