Release Handle Height on Reese M5 Hitch and Closing a Tonneau Cover
Question:
Does the release handle extend above the truck bed frame rails? Will it interfere with a bed cover when not pulling a trailer?

Expert Reply:
The Reese M5 5th Wheel Trailer Hitch for Ram Towing Prep Package, # RP37FR, is confirmed to fit the 2021 Ram 3500 and will have the handle set slightly above the truck bed rails on many models, possibly interfering with the function of a tonneau cover. However, we have the Replacement Low Profile Handle for Reese M5 5th Wheel Trailer Hitches, # RP58553 available to address this.
