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. Install your fifth-wheel trailer hitch with this universal, 10-bolt kit. Spacers ensure proper spacing despite the deep corrugations in your pickup's bed. Not for use with Reese Elite Series (or Signature Series) model hitches.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.
The Reese Universal rails were actually my second choice, because the rails made specifically for my Tundra would have been back-ordered for several weeks (due to availability). I had to install the hitch and pick up my 5th wheel right away and could not wait, so I went with the Reese rails. However, the Toyota service center that installed them said they were a good product and they did not have any difficulty installing them in the same time period that would have been required for the other Tundra specific rails. I am very pleased with this product and especially the helpful service that I got from etrailer to meet my timing demands.
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
Regular cab two door 4x4 5.7 Tundra pulling a 7500lb Grand design 28’ 5th wheel easily. Great hitch. Strong, durable, worth every penny. I paid a couple hundred to a body shop/ mechanic to install. They had no problem.
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.
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.
Easy install, visual confirmation pin is locked into 5th Wheel, and no more chucking when pulling trailer.
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.
Ordering process was easy and received quickly. The installation instructions were easy to follow and understand. Installation went fairly quick at around 4.5 hrs.
I think the product was very good as a matter of fact it was better than anticipated. You may want to consider letting prospective buyers know the gage thickness of these rails Its like an injustice to them because the picture does not say a thousand words.Also it would be helpful if you had a giude that would prompt you as to how far apart to insta the second rail. Incidentally I had read a review and the gentleman stated that it took him 4 hrs and he didnt need the instructions. Dont believe him. The best part about ordering from you was the constant follow up. Thanks for every thing
Loved the product, hated the installation instructions
I've only just got it installed and as of yet have not tested it under load. Hope to pick-up and tow my RV back home this weekend. I will update My review when I return.
Got expert advice from David B Everything arrived and put on today. Worked beautifully
The base rails and instructions look good. Fast shipment. I will start the install this week.
2 of the 3 boxes arived the day before it was scheduled to arrive. The 3rd box arrived the next day as scheduled. The qr code on the head did not work, it took me to a 404 error page on the Reese site.
Great product, great price, I’m gonna use e-trailer in the future. I m a very satisfied customer.
Excellent service and total knowledge of their products.
They always followup to make sure there customers are happy. So rare these days
