Video Transcript for Review of Reese - Fifth Wheel Installation Kit - RP56018

Today we're gonna take a look at the Reese Quick and Small customer outboard brackets for the fifth wheel trailer hitches. Now this is a custom-fit part. They are designed to fit the 2019 Ram 1500 trucks, with either the 5 1/2-foot or 6 1/2-foot bed. Now, on a custom-fit part like this, I always like to recommend you to go to our website, use our fit guide, put in your year/model vehicle, and it'll show if this will work for your application.Now, these installation brackets will mount beneath your truck bed, and they provide the attachment points for the fifth wheel rails to attach to. Now these are designed to work with the extended-length base rails, which we do sell separately on our website. They're part number RP30153, and rails are designed to sit in the truck bed, and then they allow the installation of the fifth wheel hitch into the rails.These custom outboard brackets will mount to existing holes in your vehicle's frame, so it helps minimize drilling and measuring, so it cuts down your installation time by more than half when you compare it to the universal bracket system.Does include everything shown here.

Includes the two rear brackets, the two front brackets, the hardware for attaching the brackets to the frame, and a nice set of detailed instructions. The finish on these brackets is a nice sturdy black powder-coated steel, helps resist corrosion.But that should do it on the review of the Reese Quick Install custom outboard brackets for fifth wheel trailer hitches.

It worked well but did have to re work the front brackets some with grinder to allow proper fit .

No issues ,was a difficult install, I don’t believe an average home mechanic would be able to install, I have 20 years of mechanical experience, without some special tools and knowledge It would have been impossible.



by:

Very difficult to install - much harder than other brackets I have installed on other trucks. Thought the design could have made the installation easier somehow, but I'm not an engineer so what do I know. Once installed, after a lot of drilling, hole-cutting and reaming, the brackets attached to the hitch and I have had no problems towing.

These brackets are intended to be used with the extended length base rails part # RP30153.

Once installed and that was a VERY difficult process! and fitted with a hitch, it has been a great puller for our 27, 8000# fifth wheel.

  • Reese Custom Under Bed Brackets and Rails For a 2019 Ram 1500 With 5-1/2' Truck Bed
    The Reese Quick-Install Custom Outboard Brackets # RP56018 are the correct under bed brackets for your 2019 Ram 1500 with the new body style and 5-1/2' bed. We also have the Reese Quick-Install Custom Outboard Installation Kit w/ Base Rails # RP56018-53 if you are also needing the in bed rails. If you already have your own Reese Rails # RP30153 we do have a Replacement Hardware Kit # RP58504 to mount the rails to the under bed brackets.

  • Will Different Brand Brackets Work With Different Brand Fifth Wheel Rails?
    We do have some fifth wheel brackets that might fit with your Reese rails, but you shouldn’t use rails and brackets from different manufacturers. Most of the time the bolt holes don’t line up with each other. Instead, we have part # RP56018 which are Reese brackets that fit your 2019 Ram 1500. These are outboard brackets meaning they install on the outside of the truck’s frame rails and they fit rails that are 48 inches long. If your current rails are 48 inches long, then these will work...

  • Custom Brackets and Fifth Wheel Rails For 2019 Ram 1500 New Body Style
    If the brackets that you have purchased are not lining up on the frame of the Ram, they may not be the correct brackets or they are the correct brackets for the Ram's frame and do not fit the rails that you are re-using. If you want a kit that is guaranteed to fit the 2019 Ram 1500 New Body Style, I recommend the Reese Quick-Install Custom Brackets part # RP56018 for the 2019 Ram 1500. These Custom Brackets only fit with the 48" base rail part # RP30153. Please keep in mind these rails...

  • Reese 5th Wheel Outboard Brackets for 2020 Ram 1500 Short Bed
    Yes, the Reese Quick-Install Custom Outboard Brackets # RP56018 will fit your 2020 Ram 1500. Just make sure you have the Reese Universal Outboard Base Rails # RP30153 to match up with the design of the brackets. Both kits are available as a package with part # RP56018-53 on our site. If you don't already have a 5th wheel hitch you'll want one that has a sliding function so that your trailer will clear the cab of your Ram when you are taking tight turns. I really like the 18K B&W Patriot...

  • 5th Wheel Rail Kit for 2019 Ram 1500 Rebel
    I checked with Reese and the correct custom frame brackets for 5th wheel base rails on your 2019 Ram 1500 Rebel is the part # RP56018. These brackets do require 48" wide base rails and for the complete kit including both the brackets and rails you can use part # RP56018-53. The # RP50142 bracket kit that you referenced is only a fit on the Ram up through the 2018 model year so they won't work on your 2019 model. Since your Rebel has a 5-1/2 foot bed the only way to tow a 5th wheel trailer...

  • Fifth Wheel Rail Kit that Fits 2023 Ram 1500
    Since you have Reese fifth wheel rails all you would need is the correct bracket kit to mount them in the new truck you end up with under normal circumstances. With that said we only have the outboard style of Reese fifth wheel rail kits available for the 2023 Ram 1500 with the part # RP56018-53. These rails might be what you have but they are larger and the mounting brackets attach to the outsides of the frame rails instead of the insides. For just the bracket kit you'd want the part...
