Custom brackets reduce the amount of drilling and time required to install your fifth-wheel trailer hitch. Brackets, base rails and hardware included.It does not fit the 5th wheel; do I have to drill new holes in 5th wheel????
This product works great! Easy install took about 2 hours with my brother and a couple of basic shop tools, very satisfied
I ordered the Reese Custom install kit for their 5th wheel hitch for my 2011 F250 Diesel Lariat, short bed. It was shipped quickly, was well packaged and came with clear directions. etrailer was fantastic about customer support and making sure all the pieces parts were there. I'm planning on installing in a couple of days and am looking forward to using it. I'm glad I went this route vs the other generic kit. This one is cut to fit this exact vehicle, so no hunting for good mounting spot, moving lines or drilling the frame etc.
Does what it is supposed to do! Installation was a breeze. Great service from etrailer!

Very good!
I've been towing a 43ft, 20,000 lb, toyhauler for about a year now. This hitch has been great, easy to use and hasn't caused me any issues. I live in the PNW and it just lives in the back of my truck in the weather and zero issues. The price was amazing and it works great.

Still works great! Great price. Very happy
I received the Reese 5th wheel 16,000 lb slider hitch from etrailer in June 2019; installed it in July 2019. Took around five hours to install the base rail kit and Reese hitch start to finish. So far so good, this heavy duty slider hitch works flawlessly with my F250/fifth wheel combo. It arrived in multiple boxes, had excellent instructions and an operating manual. For myself and other do-it-yourselfers, etrailer provides excellent support and installation videos to help with the install.
This 5th wheel mounting assembly was a perfect fit for my 2016 F-250 . The directions were easy to follow and installation took me about 4 hours. The one suggestion I would make is ensure you have access to a torque wrench. I did, but the direction do not specify it in the tools required section. Over all E-Trailer had awesome service, quick delivery, great pricing and the assembly arrived in two days. You can't ask for much more then that.
Well, this is my third purchase of the same exact custom rail kit. Needless to say, I'm getting pretty good at it. This has been the best experience this far do to one simple change from the last two kits. They have added a single wing on the nut that holds holds the quick mount to the truck frame. This alone allows you to tighten the bolts without have to hold a wrench on the nut on the other side of the frame. This made this one man job much, much easier. The only reason I still give it 4 stars is the instructions still lack for the first time installer of this product. I give 5 stars to etrailer for putting out fantastic how to videos that explain the install much better. I watched it just to brush up. Excellent job !! I'm an etrailer customer for life due to great products and support.
I very much enjoy my REESE slider hitch purchased from etrailer. It works exactly as advertised and is holding up well. Its quiet on the road and makes hooking up a breeze.
Installed easy
Installation went a lot smoother than anticipated. It is a quality product that I would recommend to anyone, especially over the universal fit units.

The hitch works great. I have not had any issues. I consider it a quality product and worthwhile investment.
It was the easiest set of rails I have ever installed. I mounted the brackets to the frame and drilled a pilot hole up to the top of the bed. I could have had the job completed in less than 20 minutes if it weren’t for having to climb in and out of the bed. All of my trucks from now on will have the same product.
Product was as described and easy to install. If I change trucks again I would purchase from etrailer again.

Great, this is the 2nd one I have ordered as I purchased a different truck. I would order again from you as install has been quick and easy.
Shipped and received as promised. The Reese 5th wheel Hitch and hardware were in perfect condition with no issues. I'm in the process of installing it on my 2013 Ford. I expect no problems. Great price, with no shipping costs or tax paid.
Got here fast and in great shape. Installation was very easy. High quality and the fit was perfect

Very Pleased
Product came in as described. Installation was very easy and the instructions were easy to follow. Everything lined up perfectly.
Installed on a 2016 f250 with no complications, very exact fit in all all aspects. Took about 4.5 hours using floor jacks in a tight space. It could be done very efficiently with a second hand and a lift.
Very easy to install. If you are going to use air bags install them first.
The kit was delivered a day earlier than was expected and it was well packaged! I look forward to getting it installed
Super fast shipping, low price and easy to follow directions. Loved the fact that I did NOT have to drill any holes in the frame of my truck. Everything was super easy and fast to install.
Pleased with the brackets and rails for fifth wheel.
A good product at a great price sold with excellent customer service
Fairly easy install. Had to drill the holes a little larger than 9/16 because of the location of the bed sills but other than that no problems.
Quick delivery, arrived in perfect condition. Would buy again and definitely recommend to anyone looking for a hitch.
Worth buying the custom frame brackets. Made installation go easy.

The Reese 30023 hitch you have used a T-bolt mount to the bed rails, versus a linch pin style connection used by the newer ones. Reese hasnt manufactured that connection style since around 1990. Unfortunately, Reese doesnt offer those rails or hitch legs that would allow you to retrofit your existing hitch. There is a solution, though. Your old rails shown in one of your photos should be compatible with the frame brackets, so as long as the old rails are still in sound shape you could reuse them. Drilling holes in the new rails isnt recommended, as it could weaken them.
