Forged, Self-Latching Jaw
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.
Quiet, Comfortable Ride
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.
King Pin Indicator Prevents High Pinning
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.
Easy-to-Use Latching Handle
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.

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.

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.

Packaged well and super quick shipping
by: John M01/08/2020
Ordered this hitch for my 03 ram 3500 shortbed and didnt get a chance to install it untill 2 months later. Which is when i noticed it was missing some hardware. I contacted etrailer and they shipped me the missing hardware at no cost to me, how can you beat that anyone else would have said go pound salt its been 2months . The installation was cut and dry with good instructions. I like how the hitch installed onto the frame and the quality of the parts its built heavy, its agriculture approved lol. Thanks again etrailer for the unbeatable price and fantastic customer service

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.

I had to return this hitch as it was unusable due to manufacturing defects. etrailer honored the return and refunded me completely.
by: Jeffrey09/28/2021
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.

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.

This kit was pretty easy to install. Took 2 guys about an hour and a half to complete. The install video was extremely helpful. We watched it several times before we began. Everything fit like a glove and looks great. Will definitely buy this kit on my next truck. The hardest part was cutting the flimsy bed liner. Thanks Reece and Etrailer.
by: Jerry M02/14/2015
I installed this rail kit in about 4 1/2 hours including cutting out the bedliner. The instructions were perfect. It fit great. The staff at e trailer led me to this model kit and I'm glad they did. Great product

We got off on a rocky start because the parts weren't correct in the box but that wasn't etrailer's fault.. Etrailer went above and beyond to correct the problem and I greatly appreciate it.. product fits great and I'm very pleased. Fair price also.. Will do business with etrailer again

Do you have a question about this Fifth Wheel Hitch?
- Do I Need a Sliding 5th Wheel Hitch for a 2019 Ford F-250 Short Bed?
- Congrats on the new trailer! You will need a sliding 5th wheel hitch. A standard fixed hitch like the Curt A20 item # C16140 won't provide you with the necessary clearance you'll need. You'll end up running the nose on your Dutchman into the back of your F-250's cab.
Since you already have a set of Reese 5th wheel rails installed, the Curt A20 5th Wheel Trailer Hitch w/ R20 Slider item # C16541 will be a great addition to your set up. The Curt A20 has a 20,000 lbs capacity and will give

- Congrats on the new truck! To add a set of 5th wheel rails to your 2024 Chevy Silverado 2500, I recommend the B&W Custom Installation Kit w/ Base Rails item # BWRVK2505. These are made in the USA and fit both the 6-3/4' and 8' bed models.
The B&W item # BWRVK2505 rails are industry standard which means they are compatible with your Reese M5 item # RP30928 along with most 5th wheel hitches on the market. The brackets are custom fit and install in pre-existing holes in your Silverado's
view full answer... - Can A Reese M5 Be Placed In The Tallest Height Setting And Safely Tow
- The Reese M5 5th Wheel Trailer Hitch # RP30928 has three height settings (14", 16", or 18") which can all be safely used to tow from. The key is to raise you hitch head to the correct height to keep your trailer as close to level as possible while towing, while still have at least 6" of clearance between the nose of the trailer and the top of your truck's bedrails.
To find this number you'll need to level your trailer and measure from the ground to the king pin plate and from the ground

- The mounting pin holes on the Reese Select Plus Fifth Wheel Hitch, # RP30928, measure front to back 21-15/16 inches center to center and side to side 20-5/8 inches center to center. This hitch is designed to fit all standard base rails.
If you determine that this hitch will not fit your rails, then you will want to choose a hitch based on the brand of your base rails. If you can tell me the manufacturer of your rails, then I can make a hitch recommendation for you.

- The Reese Revolution pin box will work really well to tow a trailer with your short bed 2020 Ford F-150 because it moves the pivot point back to help you make sharp turns without interfering with the cab. A fixed hitch is what you need to tow with the Revolution because you do not want to pivot points like you would with a slider and the Revolution together.

To ensure that this hitch will work with your current rails, I am including a picture that shows the mounting holes for this fifth wheel hitch. These holes have been circled in red and are spaced at 20-1/2 inches on center. If your current rails have these same mounting holes, you would be able to mount this hitch using your

view full answer... - Troubleshooting Sway When Towing Fifth Wheel Trailer
- First suggestion would be to stop towing the trailer till you figure out how to fix the sway issue as sway can sometimes flip vehicles/trailers. Sway with fifth wheel trailers is typically not very common when compared to bumper pull towing so when it is happening it's almost always due to suspension problems on the trailer. That would be the first thing I would check. Also make sure you aren't exceeding the towing capacity of your truck. If you are overloading the truck beyond what it

- Yes, the Reese 20k part # RP30928 fits into the rails you have installed on your 2012 Silverado 3500 for the 16k hitch part # RP3047. Both hitches fit into industry standard fifth wheel rails, so you will have no problem switching over to the 20k Reese fifth wheel hitch. I have attached a photo of industry standard rails and the holes the Reese hitch uses. I have also attached a video of both hitches for you as well.

- Yes, you can install a 5th wheel hitch in the 5-3/4' bed of your 2021 Silverado 1500. However, because of the super short length of your bed you are going to be limited to two options that I have listed below.
Option 1 is to use the Demco Autoslide 5th Wheel Trailer Hitch w/ Slider item # DM8550040. This hitch will automatically allow your 5th wheels king pin to move backwards towards your tailgate when you are backing and making turns. This has the most travel amongst all sliding hitches

- From what I could find your 2000 Damon Challenger weighs around 9,400 pounds. This should be right in the wheelhouse for a 1-ton and some 3/4 tons. I would not select a 1/2 ton truck to tow this trailer.
The best trucks to tow 5th wheel trailers are 1-ton (3500/350 series) with long beds and diesel motors but gas would be fine too. Trucks with 2-wheel drive actually have higher towing capacities than 4-wheel drive models.

- When towing any trailer, you want the trailer to be as level as possible. What you will want to do is have your 2011 Raptor 400RBG Toy Hauler unhooked and on level ground. You will then want to measure from the ground to the bottom of the pin box. This will be the measurement from the ground to the top of the 5th wheel hitch you will use to adjust the 5th wheel hitch height.
