Ryan: Hey everybody. Ryan here at etrailer.com. Today on our 2004 Ford F-250 we're going to be taking a look at, and showing you how to install the Reese fifth wheel trailer hitch with the custom installation kit.Now just to give you guys an idea on how the rails actually look and work, I went ahead and dropped in our fifth wheel. Now the great thing about these rails is that they're going to work with many different types of fifth wheels, as you can see here. And now with the fifth wheel out of the way, we can take a better look at the rails themselves. The rails are going to have three openings here on each side, and that's going to work with most common fifth wheel hitches because that's where those hitches actually drop into place.Now these are made out of steel and they're really heavy duty and should last a long time. more

Rob: Hey, everybody. Rob here at etrailer.com and today we're going to be taking a look at the Reese underbed rail and installation kit on our 2019 Chevrolet Silverado 2500. Now our Reese underbed rail kit is going to allow us to mount up a fifth wheel but also have a fully open bed when we're not towing. Most this wheels are going to require to have rails inside the bed, which they don't stick up that high, but they are going to stick up about an inch or two, which means we really don't have a flat surface in our bed anymore. But as you can see, there's no rails on top of our bed because they're all underneath and our fifth wheel is just going to slide right into these puck systems and then the plugs here are going to make sure that whenever we are hauling something in the bed, maybe we picked up a load of mulch, we got some rock back here, it's going to make sure that it doesn't fall inside the pucks and get all dirty and then the ring on the outside just really gives it that finished look.It almost has a factory look to it if you we're to see a truck that has the prep package in it. This is probably the closest thing you can get as an aftermarket option to have that puck system in your bed. more

Part number DM850034.This hitch is going to provide you with 18,000 pounds gross weight rating, it's going to give you 14 inches of travel to the very back, it's going to have a single jaw system which makes for a tighter fit around your king pin.To activate the jaw system, when hooking up to your trailer, you simply pull the safety pin and clip, slide your handle out, and you'll see how the draw spreads apart. Once you lock the handle open, when you back your king pin in, or back up to your trailer, it's going to spread this apart just a little bit. What it's going to do, it's going to put pressure on this side, which is going to release the handle lock and allow the jaw to close.You're going to have guide rails here and that's what sets this apart from others. These guide rails can be adjusted depending on the size of your pin box. All you would do is once you have your pin box, or you're attached to your fifth wheel, you're going to take these rails, going to loosen them up, slide them in, up against your pin box and then tighten them back into place. more

Reese Elite Series Underbed Rail Adapter Installation - 2019 Ford F-350 Super Duty- Video
Today in our 2019 Ford F-350 Super Duty you're going to be taking a look at, I'm sure you have it installed, the Reese Elite Series Under Bed Rail Adapter for standard fifth wheel trailer hitches, part number RP-30156.This is where our above bedrail kit looks like when it's installed. What is one of the reasons why we would need one of these Let's say we have an older truck. In our old truck we had an above bed rail kit and we had a fifth wheel hitch. However, we went out and bought a new truck and our new truck is equipped with an under bed kit. Rather than going out and spending that extra money on a new hitch to mount in our factory under bed kit, we can pick up this rail kit, mount it directly to that under bed kit and that gives us an above bed rail kit that's going to allow us to utilize our old fifth wheel hitch.This above bed rail kit will handle 15, 16, and even 20 thousand pound weight capacity fifth wheel hitches. Each wheel is going to have two slots on the end to help accommodate different sized fifth wheel hitches.Your handles are going to lock into place to keep your rails from disconnecting from your bed. more

Demco Recon 5th Wheel Trailer Hitch Review- Video
Speaker 1: Today we're going to be taking a look at the Demco recon 5th wheel trailer hitch, this is for above bed rails and offers a 21,000 pound capacity, part number is DM-8550043. The recon 5th wheel from Demco is designed to make your hauling a lot easier, and also a lot quieter.Basically we have a light weight design, that's something I like about this one as compared to a lot of the other 5th wheels you're gonna see out there on the market. Got a pin here we can remove and we can take this out of the truck in two pieces, so really only gonna need one guy.Now a lot of the other traditional style 5th wheels, it's usually a two man job to get everything in place. And when it comes to weight capacities the hitch offers a vertical load limit of 5,250 pounds, so that's gonna be the maximum weight we can have pressing downward on our head, and our gross trailer weight rating, which is gonna be the weight of our trailer and anything we might load up in it, that's gonna be 21,000 pounds.Of course you do want to keep in mind you don't want to exceed the capacity of your vehicle, so whatever your trucks rated for, or whatever the hitch is rated for, which ever one is lower that's the ones you want to use.To make it quieter they use polyurethane brushings, we've got one on the head here so we don't have to deal with that noise as we're going down the road, and also on that side to side pivot, so we get a really nice quiet operating system you'll see that in the reviews.Also to add to that ease of use, not only is it easy to get it in and out of the truck, but it's easy to connect to your camper. It's gonna pivot left and right, and forward and back. So if your camper's on a little bit of an angle, with traditional style 5th wheels it was kinda hard to get those connected, you had to get everything level just so it would slide in just right. more
