Hello all,

We will be transitioning soon from a truck camper to a 5th wheel toyhauler and will be getting the AIRSAFE 25K Omni-Directional hitch.

Question for owners of F250 and F350 pickups: What are the best, most compatible hitch rails? Airsafe recommends Reese or Valley, but each have different installation requirements. Comments welcome.

I don't know if they are the best, but we have always had Reese rails in our Fords and have never had a problem. My husband installed the last set himself. It went well - quick and easy with absolutely no cussing required :-)

we have the Valley industries(Husky) in our F350. Never a problem, also the 16k Husky slider hitch. Works for us.
