User questions & answers

Question: They say this hitch will not fit my 2011 F-250 superduty shortbed. Why not
Answer: I also installed my in a Chevy. If I had to guess, because it is a slider hitch, you may not have enough room in the shortbed for the hitch to slide without hitting the cab or extending too far beyond the rear axles.
Question: can I pull a 8760lb trailer with this hitch
Answer: Yes. I pull a 11,000 LB trailer with my hitch. The hitch is rated for 16,000 LBS Most important is can your vehicle handle the weight? and also be sure the hitch height is set properly for your trailer's hitch height!
Question: I have existing rails in my Silverado for a reese slider. Will I also need to purchase the pull pin kit along with the hitch
Answer: No. Reese has always included the pull pin kit (58053) with the purchase of any fifth wheel hitch they offer.
Question: What all do i need to buy wiyh this? What all comes with it
Answer: You will need the bed rails

User questions & answers

Question: Will this fit a 2002 ford f350 crew cab l srw super duty
Answer: No, it's a universal bracket. You would have to contact the company for a customized bracket. However, I used the universal bracket on my 2017 Chevy Silverado 1500 short bed crew cab.
Question: Is this only the top piece that's pictured or is it the complete hitch that attaches to the bed rails
Answer: Yes, you would have to drill holes. T Built adapters bolt flush with the kingpin box to give a secure fit. Most start with a smaller bit and work up to the larger bit. The install should take about 1 hour.
Question: Does the head unclip from the cross beam to make it lighter to ship,in two parts
Answer: This adapter is working wonderful on my fifth wheel toy hauler. All you need is a gooseneck ball in the bed. I used the 17" for extra clearance.
Question: Questions- what is the weight limit, will this head set up work with my rails that are already their. my head set up is "shot
Answer: It ships from Idaho Falls, Idaho. If you would like faster shipping please contact us.
