  • Reese
  • 15 - 18 Inch Tall
  • Standard - Double Jaw

Fifth-wheel trailer hitch provides excellent jaw-to-king-pin contact with a 2-jaw latching system. Non-binding, round-tube slider helps to eliminate clearance concerns during slow-speed turns. Rails and installation kit sold separately.


Features:

  • 2-Jaw locking system provides more jaw-to-king-pin contact than slide-bar models
    • Less rattle
    • Greater security
  • Round-tube slider provides clearance required for your short-bed pickup to turn safely at slow speeds
    • Prevents trailer from hitting the cab of your pickup during sharp, slow-speed turns
    • Inhibits binding and provides smooth operation
  • 4-Way pivoting head eases hookup on unlevel ground
  • 3" Height adjustment
  • Wide stance offers excellent stability
  • Black powder coat finish resists corrosion
  • Locking handle has cushioned grip
  • Above-bed rails and mounting kit sold separately
    • Fits Curt, Valley, Draw-Tite, Hidden-Hitch and Reese base rails
    • Cut installation time in half by using a vehicle-specific bracket kit instead of the universal kit


Specs:

  • Gross towing weight: 16,000 lbs
  • Vertical load limit: 4,000 lbs
  • Installed hitch height (including rails): 15" - 18"
  • Travel: 11" front to back
  • 5-Year limited warranty


Note: This fifth-wheel trailer hitch will not fit pickups with beds shorter than 6'. It also will not fit trucks with flareside/stepside bed. A minimum 13" extended trailer pin box is recommended. If using a slider, hitch will not adjust to lowest height setting.


Reese Double Jaw

Secure, 2-Piece Jaw

Unlike the more economical slide-bar models, the rounded, 2-piece jaw on this fifth-wheel trailer hitch inhibits rattle and movement by securely wrapping around your trailer's king pin, resulting in easier hookup and a safer, quieter ride.




Round-Tube Slider

Most often used on trucks with 6' beds, this roller helps to eliminate clearance problems during slow-speed turns. When you are towing a fifth-wheel trailer, your hitch must be situated on the cab side of your truck's rear axle. However, at slow speeds you can use a roller to slide the fifth-wheel hitch (and the trailer) toward your truck's tailgate and past the rear axle, creating enough space between the cab of your truck and the trailer to permit less-restricted turning.

Worked perfectly for my application, installation was easy and it has worked with no issues.

I had only one issue with the hitch within the year. The 2-Jaw locking system handle detached from the jaws and I could not disconnect from the camper. After some ingenuity I did get the hitch disconnected. After troubleshooting I found that the E-Clip External Retaining Ring came off allowing the lever to detach from the jaws. I installed a new clip so far so good.

GREAT GREAT GREAT EXPERIENCE AND EVERYTHING THAT GOES WITH THIS WEB SITE.....PRODUCT TO PRICING TO SERVICE.....



by:

Excellent quality products from Reese along with great service and pricing from e-trailer. I did run into some availability issues from the manufacturer with my initial order but Kelsey informed me quickly so we could modify my order. My order was shipped very promptly as promised. Thank you Kelsey for the amazing customer service!



by:

Installation went as printed, took two of us 4 hrs. instead of 2, but I am a perfection freak, centered within 1/32" . Have not used it yet, but will be shortly. Installed to specs provided. Will purchase next hitch from etrailer, Did not call for help, but good to know they were there if needed.



by:

once i finally got the bottom platform to fit it went together quite well. It is really heavy for a 74 year old to wrestle around but i have a 40 year old son to help. Have never had to slide it back to back the fifth wheel up but have not had any close quarters to deal with. I would imagine that one of these made out of aluminum would be really expensive and probably not as strong.



by:

Product is as it was described. Straight forward installation. Only problem I had was minor shipping damage. The ear of the 5th wheel plate was bent from it being dropped I would guess. Better packaging would've solved this...

I like fifth the wheel operation and it has easy setup.

Awesome customer service and fast delivery. I will use etrailer in the future

This product gets a three based on shipping condition only. etrailer customer service and shipping time was excellent as usual. The shipment arrived 2 days after the order was placed, as promised. However, as others have noted, the product packing is poor. The boxes arrived with significant damage resulting in cosmetic damage to several parts. I haven't put the hitch to use yet but I am assuming it will work correctly. I will leave a followup after I use it.



by:

Arrived yesterday, box with hitch was broken, UPS driver said he taped it up. All parts look good. Plastic bag with small parts was torn open, 2 small parts missing, I can get them locally. I understand that there heavy Just need to be packaged better. Otherwise all ok.



by:

I’ve alway used hitches from Reese and enjoyed their performance. This is my first 5th hitch. It broke on the third pull. The rod holding the jaws fractured opening one side of the jaws. Thank God the trailer stayed attached and we made it home. Reese saw it was a warranty issue and replaced the hitch. Currently we are still using it and all appears to be working fine



by:

The hitch arrived nicely packed in two boxes. Very easy to assemble and install on my existing bed rails. I took the RV out for a first run with the hitch, and it performed as advertised. It was a no fuss transaction and the hitch arrived on-time!



by:

I damage my old hitch on Wednesday and ordered this one and it came very fast had it in on Saturday afternoon and was able to make my east bound trip.
As always etrailer came through for me again. Thank You



by:

Ordered this hitch for my 2014 Chevy,it came in two boxes and was put together on the work bench in no time at all. and I also ordered the custom rail kit RP50064-58. Just in time for summer camping.



by:

Nice ride with this hitch . I was kind of on the fence about the pivoting but I’m good with .



by:

I like the pin being surrounded by the jaws instead of just a bar across the back of the pin. The 16K seems to hold the pin tighter and helping to reduce chucking while towing. I had a slider due to when I bought this last 5th wheel, it was kind of forced onto me saying they couldn't let me leave without a slider with a short bed truck. But after I got home, I ordered a Reece Sidewinder, of which I had one on our first 5th wheel back in 2007. This is my third sidewinder and wouldn't pull without one. The Reece 16K hooks up good and towing without the worry of turning to sharp when getting fuel are days gone by, thanks to these 2 combined together.
The first Reece 16k I received had something just not right and I was having a heck of a time trying to hitch up. Sent Nicole here at eTrailer a picture of the jaws a little misaligned. Nicole got back with me quickly and we had a short conversation, and just a few days later I received a replacement head. That's service!!



by:

The first hitch arrived damaged in shipping. The dent was minor but it was on the receiver plate so I asked to return it.

A lot of vendors would have pushed back on an 89 pound box being sent back but the etrailer team set up the return and shipment of the new hitch. No problem.

The new hitch arrived in good shape this afternoon. It took me about a half hour to install with normal tools and a torque wrench. Directions were clear, the parts fit, and I appreciate having the knowledgeable people at etrailer to fall back on.

There are a lot of things owners can fix themselves with the support of quality products, knowledge, and great customer service etrailer delivers.



by:

Product is good quality as it appeared --5th wheel itself was not delivered with rest of kit--arrived three days later. Installation easy.
Installation kit fits perfect-easy installation. Only variable was I had pre-existing air springs , so I had to mark and drill the frame brackets and install the air springs on the outside of the brackets--no big deal--worked out fine



by:

Love the hitch. Hooks up easily and solid. Gives plenty of clearance. Only downside is it’s very noisy and you really feel the trailer. But for the price and weight it’s still 5 stars. Going to go up to a highway payload truck and will be getting the B&W companion for that. Not a reflection of the performance of this hitch though



by:

Delivery was fast and packaged well.
This
is my first 5th wheel hitch and has worked great for me pulling a shorter camper with a long bed 3/4 ton truck. Nice height adjustability to match the truck with the trailer. Good solid feel while pulling.



by:

I purchased the Reese dual jaw slider and install bracket kit. Everything arrived in three days in perfect condition. After watching the install video and reviewing the enclosed instructions I installed the assembly myself. It took approximately 4 hours . As you can see I also did additional steps, cutting the rubber bed mat to fit around the rails. Also undercoating the brackets to blend in the wheel wells. Etrailer is definitely the place to go for all your RV needs.



by:

I spent a whole day installing the Reese 16k hitch and custom quick mounting rails in a 2020 F150. Video was great and I advise you to watch it a couple of times before installing. Paper instructions not so good. If you have a 36 gallon fuel tank, I recommend you to do this install on a lift. I do not recommend you to install on your garage floor especially if you are 67 years old, still sore from laying on my back. You must remove spare tire and heat shield. I installed with tires on and very tight working around large fuel tank area. Going on a test drive to see if everything holds together.

  • Will a Reese 5th Wheel Trailer Hitch Fit a Curt Installation Kit on a 2014 Ram 2500 Short Bed
    The rails included with Curt 5th wheel trailer hitch installation kit # C16427-104 for the 2014 Ram 2500 short bed will fit Curt, Draw-Tite, Hidden Hitch, Husky, Reese, and Valley hitches that fit in above the bed rails. So it would not fit a Reese Elite Series hitch or Valley UBS hitch. For a 16K Reese slider hitch I would go with # RP30075. The head is the workhorse of Reese and the round tube slider design offers 11 inches of travel as will not bind up like a square tube slider. I have...

  • Fifth Wheel Hitch and Easy to Install Rail Kit Recommendation for a 2004 Chevy Silverado 2500HD
    We have exactly what you would need. First let's start with a fifth wheel rail kit for your 2004 Chevy Silverado 2500HD short bed. The easiest to install will be an outboard custom install kit. For that you would want the part # RP56007-53 that has been custom fit for your vehicle. The outboard rail kits are much easier to install than the inboard ones. For an economical slider fifth wheel option the part # RP30051 would work great. It's an entry level hitch with enough capacity. But...

  • Can Same Fifth Wheel Hitch be Used with Short and Long Bed Trucks
    Short bed trucks typically require a slider hitch to allow for turning clearance. The shorter distance between the axle of the truck and the cab makes it hard to make a tight turn without the nose of the trailer hitting the cab of the truck. So a slider like the Reese part # RP30075 can slide back when in a parking lot to give you the clearance you need. Whereas if you have a long bed you wouldn't need a slider and a part # RP30047 would work fine. That said a slider hitch can be used...

  • Can Slider Fifth Wheel Hitch be Used with Reese Revolution Pin Box
    Slider hitches can be used with Reese Revolution pin boxes but you just have to keep the hitch slid forward all the time when towing the trailer with the Revolution. For example the Reese slider hitch part # RP30075 that you mentioned would work great with a Revolution if it was slid forward all the time.

  • Hitch Recommendations for 2014 Chevy Silverado Towing 7K Fifth Wheel Trailer
    The lowest-rated fifth wheel hitches we offer would have a 13K capacity. When it comes to towing, having excess capacity is never, ever a bad thing. If you decide to upgrade to a heavier fifth wheel within the next few years, you'll still be in good shape as long as the loaded and ready to tow weight of the fifth wheel doesn't exceed the capacity of the hitch. The next step up would be a dual-jaw hitch. Reese offers the # RP30075, which is the lower priced fifth wheel hitch I'd recommend...

  • Will the Reese 16K Fifth Wheel Hitch Transfer from a Dodge Ram to a 2000 Chevrolet Silverado
    The Reese 16K Sliding Fifth Wheel Hitch, # RP30075, and base rails will transfer from your Dodge Ram to your 2000 Chevrolet Silverado as long as your base rails are Reese rails. The only components that may not transfer are the frame brackets. To determine if your frame brackets will transfer, we will need to know what type of frame brackets you were using to determine if they will fit on the Silverado. If you were using a universal install kit like part # RP30035, then the frame brackets...

If you have a 5-1/2' bed then you'll need to have a rotating pin box on the trailer in order to have enough turning clearance so that the nose of the trailer doesn't come into contact with the cab of the Tundra. You'd also need an appropriate wedge kit to lock the king pin of said rotating pin box in place. If you don't have a rotating pin box the...

  • Difference Between Reese Hitch # RP30047 and # RP30075
    The main difference is the Reese Hitch part # RP30075 is a slider hitch and the # RP30047 is a stationary hitch. A stationary hitch is normally used in a long bed truck and slider hitch is used in a short bed truck to give additional clearance at parking lot speeds so tight turns can be made without cab/trailer nose interference. If you send me the year/make/model of your truck I can help you pick out a rail kit. I attached review videos for both hitches for you to check out plus a help...

    To determine the best 5th wheel trailer hitch set up for your 2007 Ford F-150, 4 door short bed, there are some measurements that will need to be made based on the bed length and trailer width. There is a formula we use to determine how much clearance you will have when using a slider or stationary hitch with a Sidewinder (if one is required like on a 5-1/2 foot bed). This will tell us which type of hitch you will need. I have explained it below but have also added an FAQ on Sidewinders...

  • Fifth Wheel Rails and Hitch Recommendation for 2008 Chevy Silverado to Replace Gooseneck
    Since you have a short bed truck your ideal solution would be to install fifth wheel rails in your truck bed so that you can install a slider hitch to give you the needed turning clearance. Even with the offset the part # CAB-C5GX1216 wouldn't give you the turning clearance. For rails you would want to go with custom rails like the part # RP50064-58 since they will install in much less time than a universal kit and won't require drilling.

You can take some measurements to ensure there will be enough clearance. On your truck, the center of the hitch jaw will be 36 inches from the back of the truck cab.

Also, custom install rail kits are a much better option that universal kits. They minimize drilling and often times install in about half the time or less when compared to a universal kit.

    If your hitch fits the rails it's most likely not the rails' fault that the hitch won't slide back far enough.

See if you can pull the hitch out of the rail kit easily and then see if the slider mechanism will slide uninstalled from the rails. If you can't get the slider to work right, and because Valley is no longer around, it would...

This custom bracket system is meant to limit the drilling required during installation, which means less time spent under your truck drilling into the frame. If you have the short bed (6-3/4 ft) model, and a longer front end on your 5th wheel trailer, you may want to consider going with a slider hitch like the Reese # RP30075...
