Reese Fifth Wheel Installation Kit - RP56015-53

  • Above the Bed
  • Reese
  • Custom

Heavy-duty, custom brackets dramatically reduce the amount of drilling and time required to install your fifth-wheel trailer hitch. Outboard design ensures simple access to mounting points. Brackets, 10-bolt base rails and hardware included.


Features:

  • Installation brackets mount beneath your truck bed to provide attachment points for 5th-wheel rails
  • Base rails sit in truck bed and allow installation of 5th-wheel trailer hitch
  • Fast, simple installation with outboard design
    • Extended-length base rails allow for mounting farther out from truck frame
      • Avoids underbed components for easier access
      • Cuts down installation time by more than half compared with universal kits
    • Custom brackets mount to existing holes in truck frame, minimizing drilling and measuring
  • Thoroughly tested kit is compliant with strict Society of Automotive Engineers guidelines
  • Kit includes brackets, 10-bolt rails and Grade-8 hardware
  • Compatible with B&W, Curt, Demco Hijacker Premier Series, Draw-Tite, Hidden Hitch, Husky, Reese, and Valley above-bed 5th-wheel trailer hitches
  • Sturdy, black powder coated steel resists corrosion


Specs:

  • Base rail dimensions: 48" long x 1-7/8" tall
  • Limited lifetime warranty


Reese's outboard installation kit for your fifth-wheel trailer hitch was designed with safety and convenience in mind. Just like the original custom mounting brackets, these brackets install using existing holes in the truck frame, minimizing installation time. The biggest difference with this outboard kit is the extended-length rails. These above-bed rails are 5 inches longer than standard, universal fifth-wheel rails so that they will match up with the mounting points on the brackets, which sit below the bed and outside of your truck's frame. The result is a much simpler installation process, wherein most underbed components can be easily avoided. Because you are working outside the frame rails, you also have easier access with your tools and more room to work, making the whole process less of a pain.


The base rails included in this installation kit feature a standard 10-bolt design. Each of these rails attaches to the underbed brackets with two carriage bolts at both ends. A single bolt is used in the center of each rail to further secure it in your truck bed. The result is a set of base rails that remains firmly in place thanks to 10 points of contact.


This entire installation kit is built to be SAE J2638 compliant and has been extensively tested per specified accelerated-life-cycle criteria for fifth-wheel trailer hitches. The requirements for testing are based on the European-style test of 900,000 cycles, making this testing process among the most thorough and intensive in the industry.

  • Fifth Wheel Hitch Recommendation for 2021 GMC Sierra 1500 5-3/4 foot Bed
    We have great fifth wheel hitch solutions for your 2021 GMC Sierra 1500 with a 5-1/2 foot bed like the Demco Hijacker AutoSlide part # DM8550040. This hitch automatically slides as you make tight turns so that you have the needed turning clearance. It also is only sliding hitch out there that would give you the needed turning clearance since it slides 22-1/2 inches which is about twice as much as the standard slider hitch. You will need a rail kit for your truck for this hitch to attach...

  • Reese 5th Wheel Installation Bracket/Rail Kit for 2020 Chevy Silverado 1500
    The Reese 5th wheel hitch install kit you've looked at, part # RP56015-53 is indeed a fit for your 2020 Chevy Silverado 1500. It is compatible with the 6-1/2 foot bed. If you don't already have a 5th wheel hitch, I'd recommend the # RP30083 from Reese. The hitch features a one piece jaw that grips the king pin super tight for a superior ride and round tube sliding rails that won't bind up on uneven terrain like the square tube ones can. I've linked to a product demonstration video for...

  • Does Reese Quick-Install Custom Outboard Kit With Base Rails Fit 2021 GMC Sierra 1500 Short Bed
    I can absolutely confirm for you that the Reese Quick-Install Custom Outboard Installation Kit with Base Rails for 5th Wheel Trailer Hitches # RP56015-53 is a fit for your 2021 GMC Sierra 1500 with a 70 inch bed (which we call the 5-3/4' bed), and it also fits the 6-1/2 foot bed. I have added a link below to a video review for you to check out as well of the Reese Quick-Install Custom Outboard Installation Kit with Base Rails for 5th Wheel Trailer Hitches # RP56015-53.

  • 5TH Wheel Trailer Hitch Options For a 2020 Chevrolet Silverado 1500 With 5-3/4 Foot Bed
    With your 2020 Chevrolet Silverado 1500 with the 5-3/4' short bed there are a couple options. If the 5th wheel you are towing has a pivoting pin box like the Reese Sidewinder # RP77FR then you can use a Reese 5th Wheel Trailer Hitch # RP30047 with the Installation Kit # RP56015-53. Otherwise you will need the Demco Autoslide 5th Wheel Trailer Hitch # DM8550040 with Installation Kit # DM8552034-71. The Demco slides back up to 22-1/2" ensuring you do not hit the front of the 5th wheel on...

  • Weight of Demco Autoslide Versus Reese With Sidewinder On a 2020 Chevy Silverado 1500 5-3/4 Foot Bed
    The Demco Autoslide 5th Wheel Trailer Hitch # DM8550040 is going to weigh 309lbs and the Install Kit # DM8552034-71 is 105lbs. The Reese # RP30047 is going to be a lighter option at 108lbs with Install Kit # RP56015-53 being 103lbs. But do remember the Reese Sidewinder # RP77FR is going to weigh approximately 120lbs more than your standard pin box. So while you loose hitch weight in the truck you are going to have a higher tongue weight.

  • Can 2022 Chevy Silverado 1500 5-1/2 ft Bed Tow Fifth Wheel Trailer
    For truck beds shorter than 6 foot it is possible to tow a fifth wheel trailer but it does get a little more tricky since the shorter beds makes clearance between the truck cab and trailer nose much tighter. Normally for short bed trucks a slider hitch solves this problem but a standard slider hitch only goes about half as far as it needs to so the best solution is the Demco Hijacker Autoslide part # DM8550040 which slides 22-1/2 inches. This hitch is designed to fit standard above bed...

  • Reese Fifth Wheel Rail Kit that Fits 2021 Chevy Silverado 1500 6-1/2 ft Bed
    Reese has a custom fit fifth wheel rail kit that fits your 2021 Chevy Silverado 1500 6-1/2 foot bed with the part # RP56015-53 but they do not list the universal rail kit you mentioned as a fit. Unless your fifth wheel trailer has a tapered nose you'd need a slider hitch to provide turning clearance like with the Curt A16 slider part # C16521 which is nicer, quieter hitch with a round tube slider that operates smoother than square tube options.

  • Under Bed Bracket Kit for Turning Point Hitch in 2020 GMC Denali 1500 Short Bed
    Frame mounted brackets are only sold as part of a fifth wheel mounting kit and there is no relation to your Turning Point pin box, or any other brand pin box. For an under bed bracket kit that will fit your 2020 GMC Denali 1500 short bed I recommend the Reese # RP56015-53 Custom Fifth wheel installation kit. This is a custom matched kit that will bolt to existing holes in your truck frame rails. This comes with the mounting rails that attach in your bed and provide generic mounting...

  • Recommended 5th Wheel Hitch and Install Bracket/Rail Kit for 2020 Chevy 1500 4x4 Short Bed
    For a Reese 16K sliding 5th wheel hitch and the install bracket/rail kit, you could go with the # C95DR 16K sliding 5th wheel hitch and the # RP56015-53 install kit. However, I'd recommend the Curt A16 hitch, part # C16521 over what Reese offers. Unlike the Reese hitch, the Curt A16 offers a torsion articulating system for the hitch head which helps isolate the tow vehicle from road shock and noise. The interlocking hitch jaws hold the king pin much more tightly around its circumference...

  • Can 2019 Chevy Silverado 1500 5-3/4 ft Bed Tow Fifth Wheel Trailer
    For truck beds that are shorter than 6 feet like on your 2019 Chevy Silverado 1500 with a 5-3/4 foot bed you have two options for towing a fifth wheel trailer and preventing truck cab to trailer nose interference. You can use the Demco Hijacker Autoslide hitch part # DM8550040 as it's only slider hitch that moves back 22-1/2 inches to give you clearance with the install kit part # DM8552034-71 or you could go with a fixed hitch like the # RP30047 and rail kit # RP56015-53 and a Sidewinder...

  • Fifth Wheel Hitch Recommendation for 2020 GMC Sierra 5 3/4 Bed
    If the plan is to tow a fifth wheel trailer with your 2020 GMC Sierra 1500 you'll need to go with a slider as there isn't a fifth wheel to gooseneck solution that would give you the needed turning clearance since your bed is so short. So what you'd need is a rail kit like the part # RP56015-53 and the Demco Hijacker part # DM8550040 which is only slider hitch that will have enough clearance for your bed length. This actually slides automatically as you make tight turns too which allows...

  • Reese Fifth Wheel Rail Kit for 2019 Chevy Silverado 1500 Short Bed
    For your 2019 Chevy Silverado we have Reese fifth wheel rail kits but most likely it's not the same style of rail you have now as most likely you have the inboard style rail which is smaller. For your truck Reese only has the outboard style kits like the part # RP56015-53. This isn't as common as the other style but if this is what what you have then you'd just need the # RP56015 for the brackets.

  • Will Pullrite Superglide 2700 Fit Reese Rail Kit # RP56015-53 For 2019 Chevy Silverado 1500
    The Pullrite Superglide 2700 hitch is designed to fit industry standard fifth wheel rails like what the Reese kit part # RP56015-53 you referenced provides. So if this is the hitch you have then this rail kit will fit and work well. Some of Pullrite hitches will only fit their rail kits so you'll need to verify for sure what hitch you have.

  • Reese Fifth Wheel Rail Kit to Fit 2019 Chevy Silverado 1500 Short Bed
    You'll need a new rail kit for your 2019 Chevy Silverado 1500 but you can use your Reese Kwik Slide 15k hitch that you already have still. You'll need the rail kit part # RP56015-53 which is an outboard style rail kit for your truck. The rails you currently have are the inboard style and there isn't a bracket kit that allows them to fit your truck since it was redesigned.

  • 5th Wheel Bracket/Rail Install Kit for 2022 GMC Sierra 1500 Limited w/ 5.5 Foot Bed
    Reese offers the # RP56015-53 bracket/rail kit which is a fit for the 2022 GMC Sierra 1500 Limited with the 5 foot 8 inch bed. Because of the lack of clearance you'll have between the front of the 5th wheel and the truck cab, you'll need to use a rotating pin box like the Reese Sidewinder. The Sidewinder is pin box specific, so the model needed will depend on which OEM pin box your 5th wheel is equipped with. There's typically a part number and manufacturer info on the pin box itself. I'll...

  • Do 5th Wheel Rails & Brackets on 2019 Chevy Silverado 1500 Require Wheel/Tire Removal
    While not necessary, removing the wheels/tires on your 2019 Chevy Silverado 1500 can make the installation easier for 5th wheel brackets and rails that fit, such as the Reese Quick-Install Custom Outboard Installation Kit with Base Rails # RP56015-53, or the option I recommend, the B&W Custom Installation Kit with Base Rails # BWRVK2504. Whenever possible, I recommend B&W parts due to their consistent levels of quality, which is why I do recommend going with the # BWRVK2504 over the Reese...

  • Recommended Custom 5th Wheel Install Kit for a 2020 GMC Sierra 1500 with 5-1/2 Bed
    The only custom fit fifth wheel install kits we have available for the 2020 GMC Sierra 1500 with 5-1/2' bed is the Reese Quick-Install Custom Outboard Installation Kit part # RP56015-53. The Curt Custom Fifth Wheel Installation Kit part # C16415-204 which is for a 2020 GMC Sierra 1500 will only fit models with the 6-1/2' and 8' beds. That said, both the Curt and Reese options work with the same fifth wheels hitches so there should be no problem.

  • Fifth Wheel Rail Kit for 2019 Chevy Silverado 1500 6.5 ft Bed for Using Reese 16k Slider Hitch
    The Demco rail kit part # DM8551011 that you referenced is an underbed fifth wheel rail kit that fits your 2019 Chevy Silverado 1500 6-1/2 foot bed but there isn't a way to adapt it to your Reese fifth wheel hitch. You'd need a set of above the bed rails instead like the Reese part # RP56015-53 which is a confirmed fit or you'd have to go with a Demco hitch like the automatic slider part # DM8550022 which is designed to fit this rail design and automatically slides back as you make tight turns.

  • Will Reese 5th Wheel Outboard Base Rail Kit Fit a 2024 GMC Sierra 1500
    Thanks for reaching out, David! Yes, the Reese Quick-Install Custom Outboard Installation Kit w/ Base Rails # RP56015-53 will also fit your 2024 GMC Sierra 1500. I also recommend replacing some of the hardware since it's really only meant to be torqued down once. I'm not seeing that Reese has a replacement hardware kit available so I'm linking a photo of the instructions so you can pick up some replacement hardware at your local hardware/home improvement store.
