Reese's outboard installation kit for your fifth-wheel trailer hitch was designed with safety and convenience in mind. Just like the original custom mounting brackets, these brackets install using existing holes in the truck frame, minimizing installation time. The biggest difference with this outboard kit is the extended-length rails. These above-bed rails are 5 inches longer than standard, universal fifth-wheel rails so that they will match up with the mounting points on the brackets, which sit below the bed and outside of your truck's frame. The result is a much simpler installation process, wherein most underbed components can be easily avoided. Because you are working outside the frame rails, you also have easier access with your tools and more room to work, making the whole process less of a pain.
The base rails included in this installation kit feature a standard 10-bolt design. Each of these rails attaches to the underbed brackets with two carriage bolts at both ends. A single bolt is used in the center of each rail to further secure it in your truck bed. The result is a set of base rails that remains firmly in place thanks to 10 points of contact.
This entire installation kit is built to be SAE J2638 compliant and has been extensively tested per specified accelerated-life-cycle criteria for fifth-wheel trailer hitches. The requirements for testing are based on the European-style test of 900,000 cycles, making this testing process among the most thorough and intensive in the industry.

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: Joe01/04/2024
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: Joseph04/16/2023
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: Tom09/30/2020
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: Bob08/09/2021
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: Ralph07/08/2020
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: Joe H.03/31/2019
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: Louis03/16/2020
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.
by: Daniel03/10/2018
Looks like this is going to be a perfect fit for what I need to pull my 2011 Rockwood Signature Ultra Lite 8265WS, 5th wheel trailer with the Revolution pin box. Just had it installed & after many years of driving truck with a 5th wheel, I can tell this is a good sturdy 5th wheel & looks good too.
by: Greg 04/11/2024
I very much appreciate the expedited shipping and the follow-up. Appears all made it in good shape. Have put you guys on my favs along with Harbor freight,
Home Depot, Cabella's, and Big 5.-----Tell more when installed. Will only use on occasion at Tree Farm.
by: Marcus03/31/2022
Because it was a new model truck, finding the right hitch became a challenge. etrailer was very helpful in sorting it out. 4,000 miles later we are happy campers
by: Richard06/25/2024
Just finished putting it together and in the truck. Looks solid. A couple of holes between the legs and saddle bracket were slightly misaligned, so It took a little extra work to get it assembled, but that's better than them being really loose. The safety latch on the lever is also to tight, but nothing a touch with a file could not fix. Instructions could be a bit more detailed on assembly. Still looks like a good product. Can't wait to take it on the first trip.
by: Gary 03/05/2023
Excellent hitch for pulling my 5th wheel. Unhooks a lot easier than my last hitch. My last hitch would bind up and pin would not release at jaws. I would have to move truck up or back to get it just right for it would release. I’m not having that issue with this hitch. Major plus for me!! E trailer is good to work with. It was back ordered a few weeks but overall happy with the hitch.

Great product
We tow just about every weekend
by: Nancy04/19/2023
Legs were not as heavy and our original 15k. Difficulty getting one of the legs into the original rails. Slight difference in center to center. Release does work much smoother than our old hitch As for etrailer, the hitch arrived in three days, No shipping charge. Great service.
by: Terry07/24/2023
The hitch had several large scratches on the front leg decals and a lot of smaller scratches and dings on the painted surfaces. This was caused by inadequate packing materials. The parts should be packaged so they are not allowed to touch and rub against each other during transit. One of the mounting pins did not have a machined groove for the locking clip. I had to use an old pin I had from the hitch I replaced. I would like to get a replacement pin that has a groove for the locking pin as the one I'm using is 20+ years old. I had to drill out the hole for the cotter pin that attaches the handle. The pin would not go through until I drilled it out. On the flip side the hitch is what I expected it to be and seems to be well built and should do what I need it to do. I gave you 3 stars due to the packaging issues and the pin with no groove.
by: Roger T.03/03/2016
After getting the rear rail installed, I used the hitch to set the front rail. I worked perfectly. I can remove the hitch without any binding. This was a problem with my old hitch on my old truck that was installed by the service department where I bought my original 5th wheel trailer.
This is basically the same hitch as I had before on my old truck and I had no problems with it after towing approximately 37,000 miles over 15 years so I expect that this hitch will give me the same service.
by: Ron01/05/2017
The hitch has worked as expected. I would expect nothing but from Reese. During our last trip the hitch started to creek so I removed the top and applied a little grease. This unit is working in conjunction with a Revolution king pin box on our 5th wheel. We are very pleased with this unit for our application.
Etrailer has been our go to place for many trailering items. I would recommend them overall for customer and product performance
by: Adam04/09/2021
Nice hitch, relatively easy to assemble & install, took about 1 1/2 hours. Will be trying it out this weekend.
by: Troy 07/20/2021
The hitch was installed on Valley Rails which was previously installed on my 2004 Silverado 3500. The hitch fit on the rails and during the first pull performed outstanding. I pull a 41ft 5th wheel and I am impressed with the double jaw lock.
by: Greg 08/19/2018
Great 5th wheel hitch and best price I could find. It fit into the rails on my 2012 Ford F250 perfectly. Very pleased with ETrailer's fast delivery and reliable products.
by: Shawn08/28/2019
Great fifth wheel hitch for the money. Gives a much smoother ride than my previous Reese than only rotated front to back. The customer service from etrailer was second ton none. I will definitely purchase from these folks again.
by: Pat 04/13/2020
Hitch arrived well packaged. Easy assembly and it fit right in to my existing rails for the Lil Rocker hitch I was replacing. I haven't towed with it yet but look forward to the security of the jaw clamp over the slide bar.
by: Kendall04/04/2022
etrailer gets 5 stars for quick delivery of this hitch. Reese on the other hand gets 0 stars for quality as the first time we hauled with it we got to our campsite and went to pull forward to put the trailer on blocks to level it and a weld broke on the jaw and let the trailer loose and it fell down and went back and bent the tailgate. Then I spent all memorial day weekend trying to get another head to pull 2 1/2 hours home. I did all of the leg work for them only to have to wait for them to make sure that they could pay me for repairs to our truck (3 months). etrailer was great, Reese not so much. So the rating is for the hitch not etrailer.

view full answer... - Recommendation of Fifth Wheel Hitch and 5th Airborne Sidewinder For 2007 Toyota Tundra CrewMax
- The 2007 Toyota Tundra CrewMax comes with a 5-1/2 foot bed so you will need to use a fixed hitch with the 5th Airborne king pin with Sidewinder to get the needed clearance between the truck cab, and the front of the fifth wheel.
The size of hitch you will need depends on the weight of the fifth wheel you will be towing. If 16,000 lbs gross towing weight will work I would use the Reese 16K Fifth Wheel Hitch, part # RP30047. The installation kit you will need is the Reese Universal Base

Since your truck has the short bed, you will want to make sure you are using either a fifth wheel hitch with a slider or a Sidewinder to prevent the front of the trailer from striking and damaging the rear of the truck cab. The sliding fifth wheel hitch will typically gain you 10-12 inches of additional clearance between the trailer and the cab, while the Sidewinder will

- For your 2014 Ford F-150 Super Cab with 5.5 foot bed, as Reese stated you should be good for your turning clearance with the 22 inch offset of the Revolution pin box (Factory version of Reese Sidewinder). I haven't heard of turning being reduced to under 40 degrees before, so it is possible the dealer didn't install the rails in the correct location. Most dealers use the universal installation kits like # RP30035 which can allow them to measure incorrectly. I've attached the installation

- The rails you have in the bed of your truck that you have used an RBW Lil Rocker in are the same rail design as what current fifth wheel hitches are designed to fit. That means that the Reese fifth wheel hitch part # RP30047 that you referenced is a confirmed fit and would work well without needing any adapters at all.
This hitch does not come fully assembled but it's very easy to assemble. The legs bolt to the shoulders of the hitch and the head then to the shoulders.

The Curt E16 5th Wheel Trailer Hitch - Slide Bar Jaw - 16,000 lbs # C16115 and the Reese 16K # RP30047 are very similar but I'm going to give the advantage to the Curt because of its autolocking jaw and excellent price point.

view full answer... - How is Height Setting for Fifth Wheel Hitch Selected
- The reason fifth wheel hitches are height adjustable is to allow you to pick a setting that will allow your trailer to be towed level. One way to get the height setting would be to measure from the pin box surface of your trailer down to the ground when the trailer is level and also from the truck bed height down to the ground. The difference between these two dimensions would be the height setting to use.

- For a set of air bags with a 5,000 lb capacity that is compatible with the Reese fifth wheel rail kit part # RP56011-53 we have the Firestone Ride Rite kit part # F2299. The Air Lift might work but only Firestone has came out and specified that their kit fits with an in-bed hitch. I attached install videos for both of these for you to check out as well.
The rail kit also is perfectly compatible with Reese and Husky hitches as it provides the industry standard rails which both hitches

- Reese makes two different styles of above bed fifth wheel rail kits like you mentioned that have pros and cons. The Reese Rail Kit part # RP50140-58 is an inboard rail kit which means the brackets install too the inside of the truck frame and not the outside.

- I spoke with my contact at Reese who said that the load assist air bags on your 2012 Ram 2500 should be aftermarket.

If you can let me know what you have and send in a picture with it then I could verify it that way for you.
