The only underbed fifth wheel installation kit that we carry for your 2001 Dodge Ram 2500 is the B&W Turnover Ball Gooseneck Hitch, # BWGNRK1394-5W and the B&W Companion Sliding Fifth Wheel Hitch, # BWRVK3400-5W.
Reese used to make an Elite Series underbed fifth wheel kit for your truck, but it has been discontinued. The install kit you referenced, part # RP30064 is for a Ford truck.

Yes, we do have several fifth-wheel hitches available for your 2011 Dodge 1500 Crew Cab 4x4.
If you have a 6 foot bed we have the Curt E5 16K Fifth Wheel, part # 16516. This hitch will use the Curt Semi-Custom Fifth Wheel Installation Kit, part # C16306-104.
If you have an 8 foot bed, we have the Curt E5 Fifth Wheel Trailer Hitch, part # C16115, which uses the Curt Semi-Custom Fifth Wheel Installation Kit, part # C16306-104. For a 20K hitch for an 8 foot bed, we have the Curt Q5 Fifth... view full answer...
The Curt Q25 fifth wheel hitch part # C16265 that you referenced can be used easily in the bed of your 2006 Dodge Ram 3500 long bed. What you need is a fifth wheel rail kit installed in the bed of your truck though.
For that we have the part # C16420-204 which is a custom fit kit designed for your truck. A custom install rail kit like this will install in about half the time as a universal install rail kit and will minimize drilling. view full answer...
For the 2013 model year, Ram made changes to the 3/4 and 1 ton trucks, which is why the fifth wheel install kits for the 2012 did not carry over.
For your 2013 Ram 2500, I'd recommend the Reese # RP56011-53 fifth wheel hitch installation kit.
If you don't already have a 7-way installed in your truck bed, I'd recommend # 50-97-410. You can see an install video of the wiring kit by clicking the provided link. view full answer...
To install your Husky fifth wheel hitch on your 1984 Chevy, you would need the Reese Universal 5th wheel install bracket/rail kit, part # RP30035.
If you do not have a trailer connector installed in the bed of your truck, you can use # 20023. I have linked you to an install video showing the 20023 being installed on a later-model Silverado. The procedure for your truck will be very similar.
Unfortunately, due to the age of your vehicle, I do not have any video footage of a fifth wheel... view full answer...
The Reese Universal Fifth Wheel Install Kit, part # RP30035 is indeed compatible with your 2012 Silverado 2500HD short bed. The industry-standard rails provided by the install kit will work just fine with your Reese Trail Boss sliding fifth wheel hitch. I've linked the installation instructions for you. The instructions that pertain to your truck begin on page 4 of the instructions.
Reese also offers a # RP50066-58 Custom Fifth Wheel Hitch Install Kit that would take half the install time... view full answer...
Due to the short bed on your 2011 Dodge Ram 1500 Crew Cab, the only way you will be able to successfully tow a fifth wheel trailer without having the front of the trailer loft strike the rear of the cab during turns would be to use a Sidewinder extended pin box. The Sidewinder relocates the pivot point from the connection of the hitch and the king pin to the point where the pin box connects to the trailer, thus providing 22 inches of additional clearance between the rear of the cab and... view full answer...
For the 1998 Dodge Ram truck, the only available fifth wheel installation kit available would be a universal kit, like the # RP30035 from Reese. This kit uses brackets that bolt directly to the truck's frame, and drilling is required.
The Reese Elite Under-Bed Mount you referenced, part # RP30074 is a fit for 2003-2013 Dodge Ram 3500 trucks and would not fit on your 1998 Ram. This install kit does indeed clamp around the frame members, rather than bolting to them. Reese's design and engineering... view full answer...
Reese offers a fifth wheel install kit for your 2012 Dodge Ram with the 5-1/2 foot bed. The # RP30035-386 is compatible unless your truck has the Rambox option.
Due to the very short bed on your truck, the only way you'll be able to safely negotiate turns without the front of the trailer hitting the rear of the truck cab would be to install a Sidewinder replacement pin box. The Sidewinder relocates the pivot point between the fifth wheel and the truck from the king pin/hitch jaw to the... view full answer...
Yes, I checked with Curt Manufacturing and the Curt Fifth Wheel Installation Kit, item # C16420-104, is recommended for the 2011 Dodge 3500 Dually with or without Overload Springs. I have linked installation instructions for you to review.
If you need a hitch to go along with the install kit then we have several to choose from. The Curt Q20 Fifth Wheel Trailer Hitch - 20K, item # C16130, is a excellent hitch and will work well in your truck.

For your 2008 GMC Sierra 3500, with an 8 foot bed, you will need Fifth Wheel Trailer Hitch Custom Installation Kit with Brackets and Rails, # 50064-6008. view full answer...
If you have the RBW Li'l Rocker base rails I would recommend to use the RBW mounting brackets and bolts to install the hitch into your 2000 Ford F-250 Super Duty. I do not sell the RBW line of products.
If you have the Reese Universal Base Rails, part # RP58058, you can use the Reese Universal Installation Kit, part # RP30439, to install the Reese base rails to your Ford F-250 truck. The universal kit does require more time and drilling to install when compared to a custom installation... view full answer...
Yes, we do have the custom install kit for a 2004 Ford F-250 with an 8 foot bed. The proper fifth wheel install kit for your truck is part # RP50082-58. I have added a link to the kit and the instructions for you to review. view full answer...
To measure the length of your truck bed, measure from the front of the bed rearward to the rear edge of the bed (not the end of the tailgate). If you have the 6-1/2 foot bed, you will need to use a sliding fifth wheel hitch to provide additional clearance between the front of the trailer and the rear of the cab during low speed maneuvering. Failure to use a sliding hitch on a short bed truck could cause the front of the trailer to strike the rear of the truck cab during turns.

We do not carry a confirmed custom fit 5th wheel installation kit for a 2018 Chevrolet Colorado. However, we do have the Reese Universal Base Rails and Installation Kit, # RP30035. This is a compete kit that includes the base rails, brackets and hardware but unlike a custom fit kit that uses existing holes in the frame for a no-drill or minimal drilling installation, this will require you to drill all needed holes for installation. The rails need to be installed with spacing of 22" on... view full answer...
As long as your Ram isn't equipped with the Eco Diesel engine, there are fifth wheel install bracket/rail kits available. I'd recommend using the Reese # RP30035-386.
Because your truck has the 5-1/2 foot bed, you'll need to use a stationary hitch along with a Sidewinder. The Sidewinder relocates the pivot point between the fifth wheel and the truck 22 inches rearward, where the pin box meets the fifth wheel. In most cases, this will allow the truck to negotiate turns without having the... view full answer...
Curt offers a fifth wheel install kit for your truck, part # C16427-204. This kit is compatible with your truck unless it has the Ramboxes. Fifth wheel towing with a Ram truck that is equipped with the Rambox option is not a recommended practice. The Ramboxes make the interior of the bed much narrower than the standard bed, which means that the fifth wheel pin box can strike the bed side during turns. Theoretically, using a Reese Sidewinder (see provided FAQ link) and a standard hitch will... view full answer...
At this time none of the manufacturers build an install kit that uses the bed bolt holes. They are too far apart and at those distances, it would be very difficult to design a mounting and rail system for the Fifth Wheels.
There is no way to get around drilling holes in the bed of the truck for a 5th Wheel or a goose neck. The install kit with the bracket and rails, part # RP50082-58 does not require any drilling of the frame, but you will still need to drill some holes in the bed itself. view full answer...
Husky offers a custom fifth wheel installation kit for your 1998 Dodge Ram 2500, part # HT31404-686. This kit will provide the frame brackets, base rails and hardware to complete the installation. Also, it will be compatible with your Husky 24K fifth wheel hitch.
Some drilling will be required, but the frame brackets were designed to work with the Dodge Ram trucks from 1994 to 2002, so installation time will be significantly less than the traditional universal kits. view full answer...
I spoke with my contact at Cequent Towing Products, who manufactures the system for Ford. They are not aware of any Chevy factory provided package that allows instant installation of the M5 series like that available from Ford.
Rumors have been circulating for some time that a similar system will be available as a factory option from Chevy, but neither I nor my contact at Cequent have anything more concrete than that.
To install a Reese M5 Series hitch on that particular vehicle, the... view full answer...
