Heavy-duty 5th-wheel hitch has a 1-piece, wraparound jaw and easy-to-see lock indicator for maximum safety and security. Fully articulating head with large landing area and kingpin target make hookup a snap.

Specs:
The one-piece jaw on this fifth-wheel hitch provides absolute security with its wraparound design. Increased jaw-to-king-pin contact results in not only a stronger connection, but less noisy rattling and stiff chucking as well.
The jaw is also always ready to receive, so you don't need to use the handle to open it before backing up toward your trailer. As long as the bail pin is removed from the latching handle, the jaw will accept the king pin as it enters the hitch.
Finally, the jaw is self-latching, so it will automatically secure your trailer's king pin when it moves into the jaw.
In addition to the tight jaw tolerance, a close connection between the head and the pivot bushings further reduces rattle and movement. And because the pivot bushings are independent from the head, they can be tightened to ensure a strong connection over time.
This M5 hitch features a built-in king pin indicator to ensure proper hookup. This indicator is located on the back of the head along with a V-shaped notch that are both visible from the cab of your truck. The V-notch is lined up with the jaw at the front of the hitch, and can be used as a guiding point to line the king pin up with the jaw as you back up your truck. The jaw also has an internal plate that keeps the king pin from entering if it is too high to enter safely. As a result, the king pin indicator will only change from red to green if the king pin is fully engaged in the jaw.
This hitch's handle is designed for smooth motion and effortless operation. It requires only 2 fingers to use and won't bind up as you pull. In addition, the handle is long, so it's easy to access from outside of your truck bed. And the ergonomic grip makes it comfortable to hold and pull from different angles.

Heavy-duty 5th-wheel hitch has a 1-piece, wraparound jaw and easy-to-see lock indicator for maximum safety and security. Fully articulating head with large landing area and kingpin target make hookup a snap. Custom brackets reduce the amount of drilling and time required to install your fifth-wheel trailer hitch. Brackets, base rails and hardware included.Tried to install this on a 2001 Chevy Silverado 3500, dual rear wheel, long bed, 4x4, diesel engine truck. The clamp style mounting simply does not work. The ONLY way I can see this working is by drilling added holes in the frame of the truck at the front end of the side plates. This is because of a bend in the frame at the clamp location. Also at this location the frame is boxed in and any bolt holes will be hidden. Bolts would have to fished in with bolt wires.
Overall- I am satisfied with the brackets and rails. I use them to attach a 15k Reese sliding hitch to which I attach a short 5th wheel (K-Z 231RK Sportsmen) behind that I tow my boat. The rails and custom brackets have done very well while towing.
My only complaint is accessing 4 of the nuts that hold the rails in place. The nuts are difficult to access from under the bed. They are located between the frame rail and bed, not much room to work and traditional sockets won't fit. I ended up using wrenches that attach to a ratchet, in this case my torque wrench.
This kit was definitely worth the money and I’d buy it again. I installed it myself in my 2018 F150 to tow my gooseneck. (I have a custom gooseneck hitch made for the rails) The heaviest I weighed across a scale was 26,000lbs and this kit never gave me an issue. I highly recommend, you won’t be disappointed.
I am very pleased with my purchase of the Reese M5, a major improvement over my old receiver. Great service from etrailer as well.
Just received yesterday, will be having it installed on Monday and will be pulling my new camper home next Saturday. Will update afterwards with pics
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.
I recently purchased a Reese Quick-Install Custom Installation Kit w/ Base Rails for 5th Wheel Trailer Hitches
Item # RP50087-58. Prior to this purchase I bought a similar item for a different vehicle from e-trailer. I have purchased other items and have requested information by phone and email as well. Every experience I have had with e-trailer has been excellent. I have found ease of ordering, availability, delivery time, price, service, and the quality of the products to be very good. E-trailer is one of the best companies I have ever experienced.
This product worked out perfectly. My son, using instructions from etrailer, installed the rails in our new-to-us Ford F-150 in Massachusetts before we drove about 3,000 miles to Edmonton, AB to pick up a new-to-us fifth wheel trailer and Anderson hitch. I was a little apprehensive that it wouldn’t fit. No need. It dropped in exactly as it should. We hitched up the fifth wheel and drove back without incident. We have had only good experiences buying from etrailer.

Item has worked out excellently for us. This item is A-1 and I would recommend it.
Great product, shipped in really good time, etrailer was excellent in communication, only small problem was package was damaged in transit, and my item had some pretty bad scratches on it. But when I notified etrailer of this they gave me a choice of shipping it back in exchange for a new one or giving me a nice credit back if I could live with the scratches. I choose the latter and I thought it was great that they gave me the choice.
I had to return this hitch as it was unusable due to manufacturing defects. etrailer honored the return and refunded me completely.
I love it. It’s very easy for me to setup. The only issue i had was rge breakout away cable snapped in have and i was not able to find a replacement. I had a friend who was able to make me another one.
Always polite and know exactly what you need for your application. Tim was a pleasure to work with.
Great quality, worked perfect and easy to use. I was so happy with it that I transferred it to my new vehicle. I would recommend this to a friend.
It was easy to install would have been better if they would have had measurements for the front mounting bar.

It works well. Installation was easy.
The installation went very well on my 2017 ford F150. I have a 36 gallon tank so the left side was a little tough but I was able to get it very happy with your product thanks again ...
The Rails I installed my self and they where easy to do. They are of good quality and I am very happy with them. They are still looking good with no rust on them after 1 year (I live in Michigan and the winters are a little ruff some times here) I have used them about 15-20 times and have had no issue with putting the hitch in and out of the truck. The pins always line up good each time.
Great hitch. Easy to use and pulls my 40ft rig like a champion!
The order before I received this one, I do not understand why you would ship two products that would not work together although I ordered them wrong, with out letting me know before it was shipped. I didn't know that my order was wrong until I went to install it in my truck. It cost me time and money.
There where parts missing.
Arrived as expected. Haven’t installed it yet, but watching the video makes the installation seem easy.
Easy install, visual confirmation pin is locked into 5th Wheel, and no more chucking when pulling trailer.
Just received my Reese rail system. My wife and I plan on doing some travel so I needed a hitch for our new 5th wheel trailer. It came exactly when Crystal K said it would. Packages were in great shape. I read lots of reviews about how most packages were damaged. Crystal K was extremely knowledgable and helpful with my selection. This is my first purchase from etrailer but it won't be the last!
I will share more on my experience that I have with the product once I install my hitch.
Thank you and thank Crystal K also please.

This went well also. Only thing that could have been better is the grease (lube) information. To this day, I still don't know what parts to lubricate or where or with what.
