Fifth Wheel Hitch Installation, Ford F250 - etrailer.com

[TheMikentyty]

If you have the fifth wheel prep package with ford with the fifth wheel installed, will you still be able to connect the lights with a bumper pull trailer on the bumper pull hitch?

@TheMikentyty You should be able to connect the wiring for the lights on either a fifth wheel or a bumper pull trailer. If you are trying to tow a fifth wheel and a bumper pull trailer at the same time you would most likely overload the circuits and be over the weight capacity of your truck, but you should be able to re-wire depending on what you're towing.

so im guessing u cant in stall a fifth wheel if there is a gooseneck?

[etrailertv]

@OWNmeansPWN If there is already a gooseneck installed in the truck, the gooseneck brackets under the bed will interfere with the installation of the 5th-wheel brackets and rails. The best option for being able to use a 5th-wheel and gooseneck hitch in the same truck bed is to install 5th-wheel rails that can accommodate a 5th-wheel hitch and a gooseneck adapter plate.

@etrailertv I got 3'' body spacers on my truck. will it still work with a 5th wheel hitch?

[etrailertv]

@928baller The main thing you will need to worry about is pulling your trailer level. If you measure from the pin box to the ground and make sure that your fifth wheel hitch is installed in your bed so that it is pulling the trailer level, you should not have a problem. However, it is always best to ask your dealer about warranty issues before making any modifications when pulling a trailer. If you have any other questions, please let me know.

Sweet ... but is taking off the rails prior to drilling out the holes in the bed a necessity?

[etrailertv]

Joe first drills pilot holes in the truck and puts the rails in to ensure that he will drill the holes in the correct spot. It is necessary to remove the rails and then to finish drilling the holes.

Does this come off easily if I need to haul something in the bed when I'm not towing?

[etrailertv]

Yes, the fifth wheel can be removed when you are not towing. Since this is an under-bed mount, you will have unobstructed use of your truck bed. Let us know if you have other concerns.
