Distance Between Mounting Tabs of the Reese Mopar Rail Kit Adapter RM30154

Question

Question:

Can you tell me how far apart the slots are for a trailer hitch to fit into the rails? Im interested in buying the Reese installation Rails RP30154. I have a 2016 Ram 2500 6foot bed with the factory 5th wheel package. Thanks

The distance between the tabs of the Reese Fifth Wheel Adapter part # RP30154 where a hitch would install is 22 inches.

I attached an install video that shows this adapter being installed in a similar Ram Rail package as your 2016 Ram 2500.

The factory prep package or pucks are not the same between Ram, GM and Ford. The spacing is all different which means you cannot use a 5th wheel hitch for Ram pucks on a GM with pucks. Take the Curt A25 5th Wheel Trailer Hitch for example which is…

Most standard pin boxes will not make a 90 degree turn in anything less than an 8 foot truck bed, but that is due to being too close to the cab - not the rails. You mentioned you wanted to replace the Rota-Flex with the Gen-Y hitch. Your old pin box…

Hi Richard; your feet or the pucks probably aren't perfectly straight. What you can do is loosen the castle nut on the feet of your #RP37FR. You should be able to get it in once it can move around a little and align properly. After you get it in…
