Forged, Self-Latching Jaw

Self-Latching Jaw

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.


Quiet, Comfortable Ride

Pivot Bushings

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.


King Pin Indicator Prevents High Pinning

King Pin Indicator

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.


Easy-to-Use Latching Handle

Lever and Hitch

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.

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.

I see that you are stuck on some parts of this installation. I have gotten in contact with one of our technicians and they had mentioned that you should be able to find what you need in the instructions on page 5. https:www.reeseprod.comproduct-assetsinstallN30926.pdf

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

Still works good, but every once in a while it dosent want to latch around the kingpin.

I am very pleased with my purchase of the Reese M5, a major improvement over my old receiver. Great service from etrailer as well.



by:

Packaged well and super quick shipping



by:

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.



by:

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.



by:

I had to return this hitch as it was unusable due to manufacturing defects. etrailer honored the return and refunded me completely.

Great hitch. Easy to use and pulls my 40ft rig like a champion!



by:

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.



by:

Always polite and know exactly what you need for your application. Tim was a pleasure to work with.



by:

Easy install, visual confirmation pin is locked into 5th Wheel, and no more chucking when pulling trailer.



by:

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.

I see our customer service team is working on sending you the missing parts, but I am sorry you are having to go through all this when it should have all been delivered together. Thanks for giving us the chance to make it right.



by:

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.

Etrailer Expert

Katrina B.

1/17/2023

Well that would be some good information to know! I am getting that added to our site for future reference. You will need to use engine oil to lubricate pivot points of moving parts within the hitch.



by:

Loved the product, hated the installation instructions



by:

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.



by:

Got expert advice from David B Everything arrived and put on today. Worked beautifully



by:

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 hitch. Everything showed up undamaged easy to setup

  • Do I Need a Sliding 5th Wheel Hitch for a 2019 Ford F-250 Short Bed?
    Congrats on the new trailer! You will need a sliding 5th wheel hitch. A standard fixed hitch like the Curt A20 item # C16140 won't provide you with the necessary clearance you'll need. You'll end up running the nose on your Dutchman into the back of your F-250's cab. Since you already have a set of Reese 5th wheel rails installed, the Curt A20 5th Wheel Trailer Hitch w/ R20 Slider item # C16541 will be a great addition to your set up. The Curt A20 has a 20,000 lbs capacity and will give...

These are made in the USA and fit both the 6-3/4' and 8' bed models. The B&W item # BWRVK2505 rails are industry standard which means they are compatible with your Reese M5 item # RP30928 along with most 5th wheel hitches on the market.

  • Recommended 5th Wheel Hitch For A 2023 Ford F-250 Super Duty
    You can only have one pivoting point between the trailer and tow vehicle so that means you'll have to decide between a slider hitch and locking out the Turning Point or getting a fixed hitch and using the Turning Point as a rotating pin box. The Turning point pin box is going to offer you almost twice as much turning clearance without you having to get out of the truck and place the hitch into the maneuvering position each time. Since you already have the Turning Point on your trailer you'd...

    The cab and chassis frame is not the same as the regular 3500HD so there isn't going to be a custom kit. The frame is more narrow, so you will need to use a universal rail kit like the Reese Universal Base Rails and Installation Kit for 5th Wheel Trailer Hitches item # RP30035. You will want to center it about 1-3" in front of your axle. To haul a gooseneck trailer, I recommend the Curt Spyder Gooseneck Trailer Hitch for Fifth Wheel Rails item # 16085.

    Yes, the Curt Custom Fifth Wheel Installation Kit # C16307-204 will fit your 2020 Ram 1500 and RamBoxes as long as you don't have the TRX or the multifunction tailgate. If you don't already have a 5th wheel hitch I recommend picking up the Reese M5 20K # RP30928 which is a fixed hitch that you need to use with a Sidewinder pin box so the pin box doesn't hitch your RamBoxes.

  • Can Curt A25 Fifth Wheel Hitch be Used with 5th Airborne Sidewinder Pin Box
    I have a solution for you, but the 5th Airborne/Sidewinder part # RP34FR is not compatible with the updated Curt A-Series 5th wheel hitches. To use this sidewinder, or any for that matter, you will need to swap out your hitch with something like the Reese M5 5th Wheel Trailer Hitch - Single Jaw - 20,000 lbs # RP30928.

    The Reese M5 5th Wheel Trailer Hitch # RP30928 has three height settings (14", 16", or 18") which can all be safely used to tow from. The key is to raise you hitch head to the correct height to keep your trailer as close to level as possible while towing, while still have at least 6" of clearance between the nose of the trailer and the top of your truck's bedrails. To find this number you'll need to level your trailer and measure from the ground to the king pin plate and from the ground...

  • Recommended 5th Wheel Hitch for a 2021 Ram 2500 With RamBoxes
    With your truck having RamBoxes that definitely complicates things, but we got you covered. To start, you are going to need to swap out your current pin box with a rotating pin box like the Reese Sidewinder 5th Wheel King Pin with Rotating Turret # RP77FR, unfortunately. It's not going to be as simple as to just drop a hitch in the bed - you're going to need a bit more. So from here, you'd then be able drop in a hitch # RP30928 and a rail kit # RP56009-53.

  • What are the Pin Hole Dimensions on the Reese M5 5th Wheel Trailer Hitch # RP30928
    The mounting pin holes on the Reese Select Plus Fifth Wheel Hitch, # RP30928, measure front to back 21-15/16 inches center to center and side to side 20-5/8 inches center to center. This hitch is designed to fit all standard base rails. If you determine that this hitch will not fit your rails, then you will want to choose a hitch based on the brand of your base rails. If you can tell me the manufacturer of your rails, then I can make a hitch recommendation for you.

    Thank you for reaching out - you've come to the right place! Your local shop is correct. You need to use a base rail kit that has a 4-point connection and a Sidewinder (or similar) pin box with the rotating turret for this application. The B&W Companion 5th Wheel Trailer Hitch # BWRVK3500-5W has a single-point connection with the square shank and so the twisting forces placed on it by the Sidewinder system will damage the gooseneck receiver.

However, you will want to take some measurements yourself just to be sure. Find the center line of the rear axle and then measure forward 3-1/2 inches. From that point measure to the back of the truck cab. Then add 22 inches for the clearance provided by the Sidewinder. That measurement will have to be at least 52 inches or more for you to safely...

    I'll start off by saying that because your 2014 Ram 3500 has the Ram Box cargo management feature, you will need to use a Sidewinder King Pin. The problem with the Ram Box is that is that it puts the rails of the bed too close together and it causes interference with the pin box of the trailer around corners. We have heard several customers say that with a Sidewinder pin box they were able to tow a fifth wheel trailer with a truck with a Ram Box. Sidewinders move the pivot point higher...
