Speaker 1: Today, we're going to take a look at the Reese quick install custom outboard brackets for fifth wheel trailer hitches. Now, this is a custom fit part. It is designed to fit a 2014 and newer Dodge Ram and Ram 2500 short bed and long bed trucks without the factory rail kit, and on a custom fit part, I always like to recommend for you to go to our website, use our fit guide, put in your year, model, vehicle, and it will show if this will work for your application.Now, these installation brackets will mount beneath your truck bed. They provide you attachment points for your fifth wheel rails. Now, these do use the extended length base rails, part number RP30153, that we do sell separately on our website. The rails are designed to sit in the truck bed, and they allow the installation of your fifth wheel trailer hitch to your truck.Now, these are custom outboard brackets so they mount to existing holes in your vehicle's frame.
This will minimize drilling and measuring, and it cuts down your installation time by more than half compared with the universal bracket systems.The hardware for installing these brackets to the frame is all included with a nice set of detailed instructions, and these are a sturdy, black powder coated steel to help resist corrosion. That should do it for the review on the Reese quick install custom outboard brackets for fifth wheel trailer hitches.
Seems quite robust and able to handle the weight of a 5th wheel. Fits my long bed, crew cab, 2017 Ram 2500 and the 48" hitch rails as promised. Installation was straight forward, although working around the trucks fuel tank and wiring for the front left bracket was a bit of a pain. Was able to access all nuts for the carriage bolts through the wheel well by removing the two screws that attach the wheel well liner to the frame.
I would recommend grinding a notch in the starting threads of the bolts that go into the truck frame to clean out any dirt, debris, or undercoating to make installing them easier.
Only complaint is that the included extra long bolts are hex head rather than carriage bolts that would match the others that are visible from inside the bed.
I love E-trailer. Always have what I need and fast service.
Great product & easy install!
