Video Transcript for Reese Fifth Wheel Installation Kit RP50142 Review
Today, we're going to take a look at the Reese Quick-Install Custom Bracket Kit for 5th Wheel Trailer Hitches. This is a custom fit part. This is designed to fit the Dodge Ram 1500 trucks starting in the year 2009. On any custom fit part, I would like to always recommend to go to our web site, use our fit guide. Put in you year and model vehicle. It'll show you if this will work for your application. These are vehicle-specific brackets that are designed to mount to existing holes in your vehicle's frame.
The hub minimize drilling and measuring so it cuts your installation time in half when compared to the universal bracket systems. These custom brackets will mount beneath your truck bed to provide attachment points for the 5th wheel rails. The base rails are required. We do sell those separately. They are part number RP58058.
They are designed to sit in the truck bed and allow installation of the 5th wheel trailer hitch. This kit here will include the custom brackets, the hardware and a nice set of detailed instructions. The finish on these brackets is a black powder coat finish to help resist corrosion. That should do it for the review on the Reese Quick-Install Custom Bracket Kit for 5th Wheel Trailer Hitches.

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.

Installation was good and very happy. Thank you
by: Tim C02/12/2024
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: J Mac J10/04/2014
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: Bruce08/05/2018
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: Robert01/05/2024
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: Tate Greenway05/06/2024
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: Jason07/20/2018
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: Brig01/11/2024
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: Pennee & Billy Barron01/31/2017
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!!!!!

- Can You Mix and Match 5th Wheel Base Rail And Bracket Kits?You unfortunately can not mix and match 5th wheel rail and bracket kits. So if you have the Curt Universal Fifth Wheel Base Rails # C16204, you'll want to use a corresponding bracket kit # C16306. Conversely, if you have the Reese Quick-Install Custom Bracket Kit for 5th Wheel Trailer Hitches # RP50142, you'll want to use the Reese Universal Base Rails for 5th Wheel Trailer Hitches # RP58058.
view full answer... - 5th Wheel Brackets Only for a 2013 Ram 1500 Short Bed and 15K 5th Wheel Trailer HitchYes, there are 5th wheel installation kit brackets that fit your 2013 Ram 1500 with coil springs. There are different styles of rails though. If your rails look like # RP58058 which mounting holds on the side flanges at the end then they are 10-bolt rails. if the look like 30124 with no holes in the side flanges then they are 4-bolt rails. Custom brackets, # RP50142, fit the 10-bolt rails and your truck but not the 4-bolt rails. If you have the 4-bolt rails there is no easy way to get...
view full answer... - Recommended 5th Wheel Install Kit for a Fifth Gen 2019 Ram 1500I do have a custom 5th wheel install kit available for your fifth generation 2019 Ram 1500 but the Reese Quick-Install Custom Bracket Kit for 5th Wheel Trailer Hitches part # RP50142 is not a confirmed fit. Instead, you will need to use the Demco Above-Bed Base Rails and Custom Installation Kit part # DM8552032-71 which is currently one of the only available options for you so long as you don't have the factory airbags. Please note that you do not need to use a Reese install kit in order...
view full answer... - Reese Fifth Wheel Rail Kit Recommendation for a 2016 Ram 1500 6 ft Bed EcoDieselThe recommended rail kit for the 2016 Ram 1500 with a 6-1/2 foot bed an EcoDiesel is the part # RP50142-58. For just the brackets you would want the part # RP50142. This is a custom bracket kit that will minimize drilling and install time. Since the hardware that attaches the rails to the brackets is only designed for one time use you would also need the part # 58164.
view full answer... - Are Just the Brackets of the # RP50083-58 Available without the RailsYes you can. To order just the mounting brackets of the # RP50142-58 you would just need the part # RP50142.

For your 2017 Ram 1500 Limited with a 5-1/2' bed, you will need the Reese Quick-Install Custom Bracket Kit for 5th Wheel Trailer Hitches item # RP50142.

This provides a set of fifth wheel rails that standard fifth wheel hitches fit. If you needed just the brackets instead you'd want the part # RP50142.

One page shows kits for the version without EcoDiesel engine and the other for the version with it. Right now the kits available are from B&W and from Demco.

view full answer... - Reese Fifth Wheel Bracket Kit Recommendation for a 2014 Ram 1500 with Coil SpringsSince you have a set of Pro Series fifth wheel rails currently and you have a Firestone Coil Rite suspension part # F4190 you will want the Reese Custom Install bracket kit part # RP50142. Since the hardware from the brackets to the rails is considered one time use you will need to go with new hardware. For that you will need part # RP58430. Those two parts are all that you would need to install the Pro Series 15k hitch you have in the bed of your truck.

view full answer... - Fifth Wheel Rail Kit that Fits 2018 Ram 1500Reese has the fifth wheel rail kit part # RP50142-58 that's a confirmed fit for your 2018 Ram 1500 which if you had Reese rails already you'd just need the bracket kit part # RP50142 to install them in your truck bed.
view full answer... - Bracket Kit Needed to Install Reese Fifth Wheel Rails in Bed of 2017 Ram 1500Assuming you have a set of Reese fifth wheels already the bracket kit you need would be the part # RP50142. If you have a different brand of rails let me know and I'll see if there's a bracket kit that would work or not.
view full answer... - Fifth Wheel Hitch Mounting Brackets for 2016 Ram 1500 Short BedThe recommended frame brackets for your 2016 Ram 1500 are part # RP50142. The bracket kit includes the hardware to attach the brackets to the frame, but the hardware to attach the hitch mounting rails in the bed to the frame brackets is sold separately as part # RP58430. The hardware is meant to be used one time only, I wouldn't recommend reusing your old hardware. To install a 7-way trailer connector in your truck bed, use part # 41157.
view full answer... - Recommended 5th Wheel Rail Brackets And Hardware For 2016 Ram Crew Cab With 5.5 Foot BedFor your 2016 Ram Crew Cab With 5.5 foot bed, I recommend the Reese Quick-Install Custom Bracket Kit for 5th Wheel Trailer Hitches # RP50142 to go with your rails. You will also need the Replacement Hardware Kit for Fifth Wheel Base Rails - 10 Bolt # RP58430 because the hardware is only intended for one time use. That will allow you to use your Reese 16K classic 5th wheel hitch. This 5.5 foot bed requires use of a Sidewinder Pin box or the OEM Revolution Pin Box both made by Reese. ...
view full answer... - Measurement For 5th Wheel Slider Compatibility On 2013 Ram 1500 Short BedFor your 2013 Ram 1500 short bed, the Reese Quick-Install Custom Base Rails and Installation Kit for 5th Wheel Trailer Hitches # RP50142-58 will be the closest component to the cab of your truck. The instructions on the brackets # RP50142 included in that kit give the measurement from the rear edge of the bed to the back of the rear rail of 28-15/16 inches and then you will have a measurement of 27-3/4 inches for a grand total of 56-11/16 inches from the rear lip of the bed not the tail gate.
view full answer... - Fifth Wheel Rail Kit Recommendation for a 2008 Dodge Ram 1500I have a solution for you, but the fifth wheel rails/brackets you had installed on your 2008 Dodge Ram are not a fit for your new 2014 model. You would need to upgrade your kit to the part # RP50142-58 as it is a custom fit kit that will minimize drilling and install time when compared to a universal kit. If you happen to have Reese rails already all you would need is the part # RP50142 and the hardware kit part # RP58430.
view full answer... - Fit of Reese RP50142 5th Wheel Hitch Mounting Bracket on 2018 Ram 1500The # RP50148 brackets are a fit for a 2018 Ram 1500 6-14/2 foot bed, as long as it doesn't have the Diesel engine. Unless you already have a set of Reese 5th wheel bed rails, you'd actually need # RP50142-58, which includes the rails. The # RP50142 you'd looked at is the frame brackets only. If you'd like to install a 7-way trailer connector in the truck bed so you don't have to run the trailer connector cable up over the tailgate, you can install one using part # C56000.
view full answer... - Fifth Wheel Bracket Kit that Fits 2012 Ram 1500If you have a set of Reese fifth wheel rails the correct bracket kit you'd need is the part # RP50142. This is just the brackets of the complete kit part # RP50026-58. Since you can't mix rail and bracket manufacturers if you have a different brand of rails the Reese brackets would not work. If you have a Curt set of rails you'd instead want the part # C16306.
view full answer... - Recommended 5th Wheel Hitch and Custom Base Rails for 2019 Ram 1500 RebelThe only brackets for 5th wheel base plates we have that are a fit for that 2019 Ram 1500 new body style are the Demco Hijacker Premier Series Above-Bed Base Rails and Custom Installation Kit for 5th Wheel Hitches # DM8552032-71. This will give you industry standard base rails compatible with most 5th wheel hitches. My recommendation for that short bed truck is the Demco Hijacker Autoslide 5th Wheel Trailer Hitch w/ Slider - Single Jaw - Above Bed - 13,000 lbs # DM8550040 which will give...

We have one setup that will put the center of the fifth wheel hitch 4-7/8 inches forward of the rear axle center line that you may be interested in. You will want the Reese Quick-Install Custom Bracket Kit, # RP50142, and the Reese Universal 10-Bolt Base Rails, # RP58058. I have attached the installation instructions for this kit for you to...
view full answer... - Fifth Wheel Bracket Kit Recommendation to Fit 2017 Ram 1500 6-1/2 ft BedFor your 2017 Ram 1500 6-1/2 foot bed we have the Reese fifth wheel bracket kit part # RP50142 which is a custom fit and comes with the brackets needed to install the rails you have if they happen to be Reese. Since we don't recommend mixing rail and bracket manufacturers we can't recommend this bracket for a different brand of rail. You'll need new hardware to attach the rails to the brackets as well with part # 58164.

The brackets will only fit the Reese brand 10 bolt base rails part # RP58058. I do not recommend mixing brackets and base rails between different manufacturers, so you will want to make sure you have Reese base rails. The brackets are specifically designed to fit your vehicle and work with any of the Reese 5th wheel hitches with the...

view full answer... - Fifth Wheel Rail Kit Recommendation for 2014 Dodge Ram 1500A rail kit from a 2500 series Ram truck will not fit a 1500 regardless of the year so you'll need an all new kit for your 2014 Ram 1500. For that you'd want a custom install kit as they install much quicker and easier than universal style kits. For that the Reese rail kit part # RP50142-58 would be a great option.
