Custom brackets reduce the amount of drilling and time required to install your fifth-wheel trailer hitch. Hardware included. Base rails sold separately.by: Chris F02/16/2020
They fit truck just like they were supposed too. Couple hr install with having to remove spare tire and heat shields to get access to bolt locations. Been supporting fifth wheel through thousands of miles. Thanks for helping me find right product for my truck!
by: James 10/25/2023
Great price and arrived very quick will do business again.
by: Kevin08/03/2013
These brackets fit real nice and easy. Finish seems very durable. Makes the universal brackets seem crude. I did get one square washer that had the hole so far off center that it was hard to get through the large access hole in the frame. I found it much easier to push some mechanics wire through the little hole in the frame to the big hole in the frame, then connect the mechanics wire to the pull wire with the bolt and pull this through the frame. Product arrived fast and I loved all the support documents on your website.
by: Tom04/13/2018
This worked as advertised and the apparatus to fish the bolts through the frame was great. I had to get my wife and her small hands under the truck to install the nuts on the vertical bolt over the gas tank because I couldn't get my big hands in there. This was a much better experience than when I built my own adapter!

It was so easy to install I hardly recall doing it. Perfect.
by: Shawn G05/03/2013
Well priced. Shipped quickly. Printed instructions, coupled with website video installations, made DIY very easy. Very simple setup, but a couple bolt areas were difficult to reach, and in my case, my wife was able to assist me to reach these areas. Total install took a few hours with minimal tools. Asked one question by e-mail and was answered next day prior to purchase.

Easy to follow instructions, install involved removing a factory heat shield, which wasnt easy, but was completed. Small hands made a hard to reach area easier to thread a nut onto a bolt, all other locations were easy to complete. No problems a year after install. Etrailer had been prompt, easy to contact by email prior to purchase, to verify product, and prompt shipping. Followed recommendation to additionally purchase all new bolt kit with these brackets.
by: Rob b04/05/2017
These rails were a perfect fit and made the installation of my 5th wheel hitch a simple install. The instructions were very clear as well. My only advice is to lay all the parts out and align them up before drilling any holes. These rails will install on both sides of the truck but really are side specific.
by: Jeff11/28/2018
Thank you for the update. I do have a questions though. The hardware kit shown has carriage bolts the get put in from the inside out using the wire. My 2019 GMC 2500 has threaded holes to use. Did I order the correct adapter or do I need to purchase screws on my own for this? If so, what type and size should I get?

According to Reese, they do not offer a fifth wheel bracket kit at this time that would use the threaded holes you located. Because the # RP50066 is a fit for the 2019 Silverado 2500, Reese hasnt developed anything for those existing threaded attachment points. So, youll just want to continue on following the installation instructions, as there are existing holes that will allow you to install the brackets without drilling.
by: Lynn W06/26/2011
I agree with the other reviews, allow yourself extra time and patience when installing this kit. It fit perfectly without drilling any holes in my new truck frame. Some of the bolts are near impossible to catch. It took me about 3-4 hours to install. Find someone to help who has skinny arms and long fingers....anyone who has installed this will agree. I am glad I used this instead of the universal "L" brackets, it was well worth the effort.
by: Dave B.02/26/2011
These are great brackets, well made, and will fit rails with 10 bolt or 4 bolt installations. I installed Curt rails(exact as Reese) and everything bolted up just as the instructions said. The reason I did not give them an excellent rating is because of the difficulty in the under bed installation. Somewhere I read that it was a 40 minute job for a pro and 80 for a DIY, but 5 hours later, I was done. Again, it is an issue with the new 2011 HD frame, but you must remove your spare so you have room to work, but the biggest pain was the heat deflector shields that GM has put above the exhaust system, right under the bed. There is no room to work, and taking the heat shields out looked to be very time consuming. I finally bent the shield enough to get the washers, locks and nuts on. Also, there is only about 2 inches to work between the top of the frame rail and bottom of the bed. You will need another person and a long screwdriver to be your other hand. The instructions say to torque all 1/2" bolts to 75 psi, but there is no way to get a socket, let alone a torque wrench in there.
Still a great product, just plan for an all day event.
by: Jon 11/29/2021
This was an excellent product. I have put one in about 15 years ago that I bought from etrailer. The only difference this time was I had to cut out the heat shield on the passenger side above the exhaust. There was just no other way to do it. There was no way to bend it enough to get a wrench on the nuts. It took about 4.5 hours working by myself.
by: John L.04/11/2018
Thanks to the knowledgeable staff at etrailer I was made aware that there are such things as extended length rails, and they do not fit with frame brackets not designed for them . I chose to stay with my short rails {because they are lower} and purchased a set of frame brackets to fit them , they fit very well, a little challenging to reach the bed rail bolts , but fit great . Thanks !
by: Butch S03/27/2015
This product fit great and saved hitch install time by at least one
hour. Would recommend these to anyone installing a 5th wheel
hitch.Made install real easy.
by: Joe 10/12/2021
It worked very well. I used it on a 1990 Chevy K2500, I believe it was for a later application but I drilled holes in the truck frame to match the brackets and it worked great. Thank you, Joe.
by: joe m09/25/2013
Great company etrailer!! Great frame to bed rail brackets did not have to drill thru frame, holes lined up. Sierra HD 2500
by: Mike Maples09/10/2013
Worked great mounting my 5th wheel hitch rails
by: Derek P.04/02/2012
They are just what I was expecting. After using these custom brackets on my last truck, there was no chance of me going back to using the universal "L" brackets. These are easier to install and provide a stronger set.
by: Bryan S01/25/2011
The product is excellent. I feel like my Reese 20k hitch is soild mounted to the frame now. Much better than the universal L brackets. Be patient installing them. It is not easy by any means.

by: Tom P.04/05/2014
Received my order quickly and the parts fit just as the technical department said they would. Brackets are of good quality and very please doing business with etrailer.
by: Pappy B10/30/2019
Been 1 year since parts were installed and everything is still working great, etrailer comes thru as always
by: Roy M.05/16/2012
It sure saved me a lot of time and drilling from the last time I used universal brackets. If this is your first time to install a hitch I would double the installation time. The bracket works great but reaching some of the bolts can be tough.
by: Joe Lyle12/11/2014
Karen was outstanding with customer service. Brackets arrived in 2 days. I haven't had time to open box up yet, but I'm confident Karen advised me on the correct product.
Thanks Karen!!

by: Barb03/01/2017
We don't have them on yet but we are planning on getting them on soon. Want to go camping this year. Again I can not believe how fast these arrived!
by: Craig04/07/2016
Ordering process was easy. Shipping timely. Looks to be a quality product. Most important, the instructions are clear.

- Recommended 5th Wheel Rail Kit For 2013 GMC 2500 With 6-1/2 Foot BedFor your 2013 GMC 2500 with 6-1/2 foot bed, I recommend the Reese Quick-Install Custom Base Rails and Installation Kit for 5th Wheel Trailer Hitches # RP50066-58. This 5th wheel rail kit will give you the correct fit for your Reese 16K Slider Hitch # RP30075. If you have the bed rails and just need the brackets, I recommend the Reese Quick-Install Custom Bracket Kit for 5th Wheel Trailer Hitches # RP50066 but you will also need the Replacement Hardware Kit for Fifth Wheel Base Rails...
view full answer... - Fifth Wheel Bracket Kit Recommendation for 2016 Chevy Silverado 2500 Short BedSounds like you have a set of Reese 10 bolt fifth wheel rails and are in need of a bracket kit to custom fit them to your 2016 Chevy Silverado 2500 short bed. For that we have the part # RP50066. Since the bracket to rail hardware is only designed for one use you would also need the part # RP58430 to replace that as well. With these two things you would have everything you need.
view full answer... - Reese Quick Install 5th Wheel Bracket Kit RecommendationThe Reese Quick-Install Custom Bracket Kit # RP50066 that you referenced would be the correct custom bracket kit for your 2011 Chevy Silverado 2500 with a 6-1/2 foot bed. This comes with all the necessary hardware to install the brackets to the frame of your vehicle. I would strongly recommend you get new installation hardware for the rails also as your old setup has already been torqued down. For that you would want a Replacement Hardware Kit # RP58430.
view full answer... - 5th Wheel Installation Kit for a 2011 Chevy Silverado 1500 Extended Cab Short BedBrackets # RP50066 do not fit a 2011 Chevy Silverado 1500 short bed. They are designed to fit 3/4 ton and 1 ton trucks (2500 and 3500 series) but we do have a kit that fits your truck. For your truck you would need installation kit # RP50064-58. This is the brackets, rails, and all of the hardware needed for installation. The brackets alone are # RP50064.
view full answer... - Recommendation for 5th Wheel Custom Bracket Fit for a 2016 Chevrolet Silverado 3500 8 foot bedI called my contact at Reese and they confirmed that the Reese Quick-Install Bracket Kit # RP50066 is a fit for the 2016 Chevy Silverado 3500 with an 8 foot bed. We strongly recommend using the same rails and brackets so I would go with # RP50066-58 which includes the base rails. If you were planning on using older rails we cannot guarantee that they will be a fit.
view full answer... - Fifth Wheel Rail Bracket Kit Recommendation for a 2015 Chevy Silverado 2500The part # RP30035 that you referenced is a universal install rail kit that has been confirmed as a fit for both your 2008 Dodge Ram 3500 and your 2015 Chevy Silverado 3500. If that is what you have then they will transfer and fit. You will need a new hardware kit though for the rails as the hardware that attaches the brackets to the rails is considered one time use. For that you would need # RP58430. A better option would be a custom install bracket kit that has been confirmed as a fit...
view full answer... - Which 5th Wheel Base Rail Installation Kit for 2021 GMC Sierra 2500 with 6-3/4 Foot BedI have a solution for you, but the # RP50066 is not the correct bracket kit for your 2021 GMC Sierra 2500 Denali. Instead you'll need to use the Reese Quick-Install Custom Outboard Brackets for 5th Wheel Trailer Hitches # RP57FR, which are actually going to be easier to install because they're outboard mounting brackets so it's a great solution. If you need the base rails as well, you'll want the # RP84FR. I've linked a review and installation video of these for you to check out.

There was a frame change on the 2011 model that required a design change in the custom bracket kit for the 2011 model. The Reese Quick-Install Custom Base Rails and Installation Kit, item # RP50066-58, on your 2009 model will not work on the 2011 Chevy 2500 HD.

If you want to keep your B&W Underbed gooseneck, you can use the Companion slider # BWRVK3400 designed to utilize your gooseneck hitch as an underbed rail kit. Another option is to use the Curt X5 5th Wheel Base Rails Adapter for B&W Turnoverball Gooseneck Trailer Hitches # 16310 along with the Reese 5th Wheel...

For that you'd want the part # RP50066 and then also the hardware kit part # 58164 as well since the hardware for attaching the rails to the brackets is considered one time use.
view full answer... - Fifth Wheel Hitch Installation into 2017 Chevrolet Silverado 3500 with Factory Prep PackageIf you're referring to the pucks of the factory fifth wheel prep package in your 2017 Chevrolet Silverado then you don't need the # RP50066 bracket kit. The fifth wheel package fits specific fifth wheel hitches, like the B&W # BWRVK3700, that install right into the pucks. The truck is already setup for a fifth wheel hitch and doesn't need a bracket kit installed for a hitch to connect to.
view full answer... - Recommended Custom 5th Wheel Rail Brackets For 2017 GMC Sierra 2500 With 6-1/2 Foot BedI recommend you use the Reese Brackets # RP50066 along with the Replacement Hardware Kit for Fifth Wheel Base Rails - 10 Bolt # RP58430. This will give you custom brackets and the hardware to fit your rails to your 2017 GMC 2500 with 6-1/2 foot bed.

This will include everything you need to install your rails on your 2021 Chevy 1500 - frame brackets and hardware. This will work with any of the industry standard 5th wheel rails like Curt, Huskey, B&W, Demco and Reese. I like these B&W kits because they are all made here in the USA, and their pricing is generally lower than other equivalent...

Since we typically recommend keeping the same brand of rail with the bracket kit it would be hard to say for certain what bracket kit would be the one to use.
