Web site is easy to use - product arrived before promise date, Our customer was very happy to be able to take his Trailer sooner then he expected. I will be using etrailer often.



by:

Great customer support. Would recommend etrailer.



by:

Upgraded my truck to a 2019 F250 Superduty. Received my new rail kit and mounting brackets. Fits perfect!



by:

Installation was good and very happy. Thank you



by:

This did not fit my truck right. Front brackets fit fine. The rear brackets lined up with all the holes but the chassis strap brackets are wrong. The spacers are also too short. Contacted e trailer. They checked inventory said their boxes were all wrong also. They contacted the mfg and i waited a month only to get a box of bolts and spacers and no straps. Had to have some fabbed locally. This is for my 2024 silverado 2500 custom.



by:

Instructions not clear enough/descriptive. Took 4 hours for my mechanic to install. would have been much simpler to loosen and lift box instead of taking everything apart as per instructions. Product seems good will know how it works after hitching up trailer.



by:

Five hours to install; which included a half hour searching for the key to the padlock on my spare. E-Trailer linked me to an installation video which really helped. I took my time and measured three times before I drilled the bed. Installation is a lot easier with someone to hold the bolts from the top. I fabricated mounting brackets on my last truck, but these were worth the money and I didn't have to drill the frame! Good design and straight-forward installation. My only issue was the video didn't show one bolt install that secured the driver's side rear bracket to the bottom of the frame. I was going off the video only and wasn't using the written instructions. Make sure you go step by step using both. Also, some parts are clearly for a different application so there will be a few parts left over. My experience with e-trailer was awesome.



by:

Very happy how soon the product I ordered was at my door step. 3 days after I ordered it. Put the base to my 5th wheel on my 2017 250 diesel sd took me around 5 hrs, would have been faster with 2 people. The base fit my husky 16k prefect when I done torquing all the bolts. Going to use this hitch to pull my 29.5 Durango EZ 1500.



by:

The costom bracket kit is of heavy steel,powder coated for protection, from your video it is going to be a lot easier to install and save time,alot less drilling and mounting of components, I am very satisfied with this product and cannot wait to install it on my 2013 Ford f150,will be pulling a 25 foot 5th wheel camper, thanks trailer for a great product



by:

I did not use this item in my institution and was returned because I had the bed replaced with a flat bed and they used the factory placed holes in their insulation. Designed new attachment plates and had them fabricated in a local machine shop, attached using 3 half inch harder bolts each and all is working well.



by:

Very easy to install. Measure twice, drill once. I used every piece of galvanic corrosion tape to protect the aluminum bed in the kit, probably could have used a little more. Even though I painted the edge of the holes after drilling, maybe some sort of insulator could be used there also.



by:

We ordered a bracket kit for our new 2017 F350. It was needed to install our Reese fifth wheel. which we use to pull our RV. Product was on back order by manufacturer, however Delisa at Etrailer diligently kept us very informed with updates & shipping status. My husband & son were able to install in a couple of hours. Looks great, outstanding craftsmanship & over exceeded our expectations! We would highly recommend!!!!!



by:

Still waiting for my package that was supposed to be here yesterday. It's been bouncing around 2 states clear on the other end of the country. I'll change my review if it ever shows up at my door.



by:

Fit good and easy to install



by:

Fits great and works well on my 2005 Sierra 1500 ( 5 1/2 )short bed.



by:

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: 08/23/2023

The item looks great but the brackets are both for the passenger side of the truck. I called and etrailer is shipping out another set. My only real complaint is delayed shipping and I am now running behind on my install.



by:

The product was fine but the service from the etrailer folks Is excellent. I had issues with my order (my fault) and they did everything they needed to do to get my issues resolved. Their service was very much appreciated!



by:

The kit arrived within a few days-very happy about that. very easy to install. the directions were clear and pictures good. I went to the trouble of using a sharpie to mark the part numbers on everything before I started just to keep to all straight.

I would note that on the 2017 F350 diesel the only problem bolt was on the driver side inline with the DEF tank. long skinny arms with flexible wrist is ideal (not what I have). I would also suggest taping the shims onto the outboard frame brackets to save yourself some frustrations. otherwise they are difficult to get and keep in place, especially on the driver side.

the two nuts that go inside the frame tube come on/with a nice handle although a bit light on the wield. here again save yourself and tape the shims on before you try to insert two things into that hole, align and fasten the bolt-by yourself. I used an extension with wobble head and socket to turn the bolt while holding the nut "assembly" in place.

I did remove the rear wheels and fender well liner-a must.

Lastly, great customer service on the phone. Pleasant and patient answering questions.

Installing 2017 5th wheel brackets and rails . Thankyou for your service in sending me the right parts for my F250 . Took about 4 hrs to install and all holes were perfect in the side brackets . Just had to drill for the rail. I’d recommend your service...



by:

Used it 3 times so far, does what it’s supposed to, the brackets fit the frame very good. Very happy with the setup.



by:

Great product. Easy to order, easy inst all



by:

What an interesting product to install. The mounting to the frame is easy. Getting the bolts through the bed and putting the nuts and washers on the bottom take a lot of patience. There is not a lot of room for your hands to fit between the bed and the frame. I took my spare tire down and I was able to sit under my truck that helped a lot.

by:

Perfect fit, easy install. Appears to be be a quality product. Shipping was both great and terrible. The brackets sit at my UPS 2 days before they would deliver. UPS kept showing processing for delivery.

Awesome service
Received my order fast
with two days
I highly recommend etrailer for all your needs

  • Frame Mounted Brackets to Install Reese 5th Wheel Hitch in 2014 Ram 3500
    If the bed mounting rails you have are from Reese, you can use the # RP50085 brackets which would require no drilling into the truck frame. The brackets include the hardware to attach to the frame, and the hardware to attach the bed rails to the frame brackets are part # RP58430. The frame bracket hardware and the bed rail hardware are meant for one-time use only.

  • Fifth Wheel Rail Bracket Kit Recommendation for a 2016 Ram 3500 without Rail Kit
    There is a chance a Curt fifth wheel bracket kit will work with Reese fifth wheel rails, but since we can't safely recommend you mix manufacturers like that if you have a set of Reese fifth wheel rails you would want the part # RP50085 that you referenced.

  • Reese Quick-Install Custom Bracket Kit for a 2018 Ram 3500 with a 6-1/2' Bed
    The correct Reese Quick-Install Custom Bracket Kit for a 2018 Ram 3500 with a 6-1/2' bed is the part # RP50085. The part # RP50054 is only a fit for a 2018 Ram 2500. We have the complete base rail kit available as part # RP50085-58 but if you already have the Base Rails # RP58058 then you would just need the Bracket Kit # RP50085 and the Replacement Hardware # RP58430 since the hardware is only supposed to be torqued to specs one time.

  • Fifth Wheel Bracket Kit Recommendation for a 2016 Ram 3500 without Rail Kit
    The Pro Series Fifth Wheel Kit PS30129 was a universal slider hitch and rail kit. I checked with Reese and they don't recommend the universal rail kit that came with your kit for the 2016 Ram 3500. Instead they have custom fit kits that are a fit and would work best. Since you have the rails already all you would need is the bracket kit part # RP50085 and a new hardware kit part # RP58430 since the hardware that comes with rails is only good for one-time use.

  • Under Bed Brackets Only for Reese 10-Bolt Rails and a 2016 Ram 3500 Short Bed
    For your 2016 Ram 3500 short bed and Reese rails you can use custom brackets # RP50085. These are the brackets by themselves without the rails. It comes with the necessary hardware to attach the brackets to the frame and the rails to the brackets.

  • Is the Reese Quick-Install Custom Bracket Kit # RP50085 Correct for a 2018 Ram 3500
    Yes, the Reese Quick-Install Custom Bracket Kit # RP50085 is the correct kit for your 2018 Ram 3500 with a long bed. If you currently use the Reese Universal Base Rails # RP58058 then you can still use these rails with this kit. If you have a different brand of base rails then you would need to go with the brackets that are the same brand as there may be slight variances which could prohibit some brands from being compatible with each other. Please note that you need to use replacement...

  • Easiest to Install Fifth Wheel Rail Kit Recommendation for 2018 Ram 3500 Long Bed
    We do have custom fifth wheel bracket kits that fit your 2018 Ram 3500 but you'll need to make sure that the rails you have are Reese since we can't recommend mixing rail and bracket manufacturers. If you do have Reese rails all you'd need is the bracket kit part # RP50085 which is custom fit for your truck. If you have a different brand of rails are you aren't sure what you have then we have to recommend you go with an all new rail kit part # RP50085-58 which gives you the same bracket...

  • Fifth Wheel Rail Kit Recommendation to Install Reese 16k Fifth Wheel Hitch in 2015 Ram 3500
    To install your Reese 16k fifth wheel hitch like # RP30047 in the bed of your 2015 Ram 3500 you will just need a fifth wheel rail kit confirmed to fit the truck. For that you would want a custom install Reese kit part # RP50085 which has been confirmed as a fit and would minimize frame drilling and install time. This is just the bracket kit since you already have rails. Since the hardware that attaches the rails to the brackets is considered one time use you would want to replace what...

  • Recommended 5th Wheel Install Kit for a 2014 Dodge Ram 3500 with 6-1/2 Foot Bed
    In order to install a Reese 5th wheel hitch in the bed of your 2014 Dodge Ram 3500, I recommend using the either the Reese Quick-Install Custom Inboard Installation Kit part # RP50085-58 or the Reese Quick-Install Custom Outboard Installation Kit part # RP56010-53. The only difference between the two is where the connection points are for the frame brackets and base rails. On the inboard kit the connection point for the frame brackets and base rails are located inside the frame rail and...
