Hi, everybody. Andy here with etrailer.com and today we're gonna take a look at these Reese Quick-Install custom outboard brackets for your fifth wheel trailer hitches. Now this is a custom fit part that is designed to fit the 2020 and newer GMC Sierra 2500 and 3500 six and three quarter foot bed and eight foot bed, without the OEM prep-package and the 2020 and newer Chevrolet Silverado 2500 and 3500 six and three quarter foot bed and eight foot bed, again without the OEM prep-package. To confirm that these are going to work for your truck, take advantage of our vehicle fit guide here at etrailer.com. Input the year, make, and model of your truck, and our fit guide will let you know if these will work for you, or if we have something comparable that will work for you. Now these custom outboard brackets are going to dramatically reduce the amount of drilling and time required to install your fifth wheel trailer hitch to your Sierra or Silverado.
These brackets mount beneath your truck bed to provide attachment points for your fifth wheel rails. And the brackets use existing holes in your frame, in your truck's frame, to minimize installation time. And it's going to help minimize drilling and measuring, as well. And it cuts down that installation time by more than half compared with universal bracket systems. The biggest difference with outboard brackets is that they're designed to install outside your trucks frame, so the result is a much simpler installation process, where most underbed components can be easily avoided because you're working outside of your truck's frame rails and you also have easier access with your tools and more room to work, making the whole process less of a pain for you.
Now these brackets are designed to work with the Reese universal outboard extended length base rails. On your screen, I am including our item number to those base rails, if you are in need of them, as well. And you can just put in that item number in the search field at our website here at etrailer.com and it'll take you to those base rails. Of course, those rails are going to sit in your truck bed and allow the installation of your fifth wheel trailer hitch. Now the hardware for installing these brackets to your frame are included, and these brackets are constructed of a sturdy steel, with a black powder coat that's going to resist corrosion.
And this does have a limited lifetime warranty. Well, that's gonna conclude our look today. I do hope that it was helpful for you. Again, my name is Andy. Thank you for joining me..

Custom outboard brackets dramatically reduce the amount of drilling and time required to install your fifth-wheel trailer hitch. Hardware included. Extended-length base rails (RP30153) sold separately.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.
Fast,friendly and knowledgeable service. Will definitely do business with again.
Upgraded my truck to a 2019 F250 Superduty. Received my new rail kit and mounting brackets. Fits perfect!
Installation was good and very happy. Thank you
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.
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.
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.
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
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.
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.
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!!!!!
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!
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.
Arrived on time, great price and customer service
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.

Fit good and easy to install
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.
Fits great and works well on my 2005 Sierra 1500 ( 5 1/2 )short bed.
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...
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!
Used it 3 times so far, does what it’s supposed to, the brackets fit the frame very good. Very happy with the setup.
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.
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.
