Re: Need detailed instructions for installation of Reese 14k on 2007 Toyota Tundra shortbed	BUBBA THE BUS TECH	7-28-09
As Reese does not provide a part # or directions any person giving you instructions is opening him/her self to a law suit by in efect saying it's OK. Any installer in our area makes the customer sign a release saying they understand that the instal is not recomended and potentialy dangerous Direct from the Reese web site: Can I tow with a short bed? / What is a Kwik-Slide? If a short bed pickup (less than 8 ft. but longer than 6 ft.) is to be used for towing, Reese recommends the trailer be equipped with an extended pin box to help gain additional truck - trailer turning clearance (See trailer manufacturer for options). It also may be helpful to add a Reese Kwik-Slide (Part # 30048) for increased turning clearance for low speed, non-highway maneuvering. Long bed tow vehicles are generally recommended to pull fifth wheel trailers. Where should I position the hitch in the bed? Specific instructions for most commonly used vehicles are included. If these instructions do not apply to your vehicle, be sure that all four corners are tied to the vehicle frame. Each frame bracket must be bolted to the vehicle frame with two bolts, unless optional weld is used. These instructions are guidelines only, actual installation is the responsibility of the installer and the owner. 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. Reese has provided complete instructions with every base rail and installation kit to act as a guideline for the installation. The instructions included in the rail and installation kit provide you with the exact location to provide for the correct amount of turning clearance. Reese recommends a minimum of 52" clearance from the center of the hitch to the rear of the cab. This can be achieved on a normal long bed truck (8' bed). These positions are all based on a normal eight foot wide trailer. Short bed trucks will not be able to maintain the 52" clearance and can pull only trailers with the minimum 13.5" extended pin box. Be very carefull with this and Good Luck
How much weight can you pull with a Reese classic hitch?	Charlene	8-23-09
I bought a Reese Classic fifth wheel hitch at a yard sale.There is no paper work with it. How can I find out my weight restrictions and how to install on my 2004 Ford super duty 250?
