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.

Video Transcript for Reese Fifth Wheel Installation Kit RP30153 Review

Speaker 1: Today we're going to take a look at the Reese 10 Bolt Extended Length Outboard Base Rails for 5th Wheel Trailer Hitches.Now, these base rails will install in your truck bed and they provide necessary attaching points for a 5th wheel trailer hitch. The base rails included in this kit feature a standard 10 bolt design. Basically, each of these rails will attach to the underbed brackets with two carriage bolts at both ends, and then a single bolt is used in the center of each rail to further secure it to your truck bed. The result is you get a set of base rails that'll remain firmly in place, thanks to 10 points of contact.These rails are 48" long above-bed rails, make for a nice fast, simple installation when these are used with the Reese custom outboard brackets that we do sell separately on our website. Now, the outboard brackets are required for installation of these rails. They will not work with your standard 5th wheel installation brackets, and I do want to show you one of the outboard brackets that we sell.

They'll vary for each vehicle, so you got to get the one correct for your vehicle, but this is an outdoor bracket. Basically, this will mount to the outside of the frame rail, and you notice the bracket extends outward so it allows you to install these extended length base rails. The extended length base rails allow you to mount . allow your mounting further out from the truck frame, and this will avoid underbed components for easier access.This part includes everything shown here on the table: the grade-8 hardware with the necessary spacers are included to install it, it gives you a nice set of detailed instructions. These rails are compatible with Curt, Draw-Tite, Hidden Hitch, Husky, Reese, and Valley Brands, and most standard 5th wheel hitches.

They're a sturdy steel construction. Has a nice black powder coat finish to them to help resist corrosion.A few specs on them: the dimensions is 48" long and the total height is 1-7/8" tall.But that should do it for the review on the Reese 10 Bolt Extended Length Outboard Base Rails for 5th Wheel Trailer Hitches.

  • Recommended 5th Wheel Base Rails for a 2024 Ford F-350
    Hey Cory, for your 2024 Ford F-350 short bed crew cab you can use the Reese Quick-Install Custom Outboard Installation Kit w/ Base Rails for 5th Wheel Trailer Hitches # RP65VR. This kit will work with both the long bed and short bed models, will require no drilling because it's custom fit to your frame, and will also work with the 2023 model year.

  • Recommended 5th Wheel and Gooseneck Hitch for a 2023 Ford F-250 Super Duty
    Hey Dan, so we do have the Andersen Ultimate # AM3200 but it's mounts to a set of 5th wheel rails # RP65VR to provide you with a Gooseneck attachment. I'm not entirely sure if that's what you're looking for but that's what it is. There is also the Custom Underbed Installation Kit for B&W Companion 5th Wheel Trailer Hitches # BW83FR which is a Gooseneck hitch that can be also used with the B&W Companion # BWRVK3400-5W 5th wheel hitch. Both of these will work with a 6 3/4' bed. Also,...

  • Recommended 5th Wheel Rails for a 2024 Ford F-350 w/ Dual Rear Wheels
    Yes, they will! I checked with Draw-Tite and their Quick-Install Custom Outboard Installation Kit w/ Base Rails item # RP65VR fits all models of the 2024 Ford F-350 including the duallys. These are industry standard which means they are compatible with most 5th wheel hitches on the market. The brackets are custom fit and install in pre-existing holes in your F-350's frame.

  • Will 5th Wheel Hitch for Chevy/GMC Prep Package Fit 2023 Ford F-350 Super Duty
    The B&W Turnoverball Underbed Gooseneck Trailer Hitch # BW73FR will fit your 2023 Ford F-350. However, this is designed to be used with the Companion # BWRVK3500-5W or # BWRVK3400-5W. The square hole for the gooseneck ball is the installation point for the Companion 5th wheel hitch. Based on your measurement it sounds like your Reese 5th wheel hitch was designed for the Chevy/GMC puck system which measures 22-3/8" x 13". Although there isn't a direct adapter to allow this to fit other...

  • How to Reduce Chucking and Jarring While Towing a 5th Wheel Trailer
    Chucking and jarring while towing a 5th wheel trailer (or any trailer for that matter) is unavoidable because the trailer itself is not one piece with your vehicle. When your truck starts to move forward from a stop your trailer is still sitting static and so there will be a slight jolt; the same thing happens when you slow down. Since the front end of your trailer is connected to your truck, when your truck starts to slow down your trailer is still moving forward so it will give you a...

  • How Do I Install Fifth Wheel Rails in The Bed of My Pickup
    The rails in the bed of your pickup are installed so that the king pin will be just forward of the rear axle when hitched. The mounting location is vehicle specific and if you would like to provide your trucks year, make, model bed length and cab style I would be glad to get instructions to you and make a recommendation for an installation kit for your truck. When mounting a fifth wheel hitch the first measurement you use is the distance from the farthest back part of the bed, tailgate...

  • Fifth Wheel Rail Kit Recommendation for 2016 GMC Sierra 2500
    You'd want to go with a custom install fifth wheel rail kit for your 2016 GMC Sierra 2500 like the # RP50066-58 which has been confirmed as a fit. The custom kits will minimize drilling and install time when compared to universal kits so they are the way to go. This would work well with the Andersen Ultimate Connection part # AM3200 that you mentioned too.

    First off, thank you for being a repeat etrailer.com customer! We definitely appreciate you coming back to us. With that said, I may have a solution for you, but air bags are not the answer for this since it's not your vehicle's suspension system that is causing this.

  • Can Reese 15k Fifth Wheel Hitch Tow a Trailer that Weighs 16,300 lbs
    You will definitely need a higher rated fifth wheel hitch than what you have now like with the Reese Select Plus part # RP30928 that you referenced which has a 20k capacity as a 15k rated hitch will not safely tow a trailer that weighs 16,300 lbs. Your truck might have the capacity as well but since I don't know it's year and options I don't have a way to determine it's towing capacity.

  • Are Tongue Weight, Hitch Weight and Pin Weight The Same Thing For a Fifth Wheel Trailer
    Tongue weight and hitch weight describe the same thing, the amount of downward force applied to the hitch. For a fifth wheel hitch, it's usually called pin weight. For example the # RP30928 has a pin weight capacity of 5,000lbs. A 3/4 or 1 ton truck with a long bed would be the preferred vehicle for towing a fifth wheel trailer. The vehicle will have plenty of power and a suspension designed for heavy loads. The long bed will ensure plenty of clearance between the front of the fifth wheel...

  • Towing a Fifth Wheel Trailer With 5-1/2 Foot Bed and Rambox
    You will be able to tow a fifth wheel with your 2014 Ram 1500 LongHorn that has a Rambox but it will require the use of a fifth wheel trailer with a Sidewinder king pin. If the fifth wheel trailer you purchased does not already have a Sidewinder you will need to purchase one to replace what is on the fifth wheel. Sidewinders are designed to replace specific king pins; for example # RP34FR is designed to replace Fabex 663 and 665, Lippert 0719, 1621 and 1621HD, as well as M&M 663 and 665...

  • Can 5th Wheel Hitch be Installed on 2018 Ram 2500 with Ram Box
    You can indeed install a 5th wheel trailer hitch on your 2018 Ram 2500 without the factory puck system but the Ram Boxes will require that another component be added to your setup. Because the Ram Boxes limit the available turning clearance over the bed, a Reese Sidewinder or other similar pin box that moves the pivot point away from the king pin will need to be on the trailer. This is the only way to allow for proper turning clearance with the Ram Box models regardless of whether or not...

  • Parts Needed to Tow Fifth Wheel Trailer with 2020 Ram 2500 with Ram Boxes
    Thanks for all of the info you listed on your camper and tow vehicle. Since we know your camper has a Lippert 1621 pin box the correct Sidewinder would be the # RP61422. On trucks with Ram Boxes the only way to tow a fifth wheel trailer is to use a Sidewinder pin box since it moves the pivot point up higher so there is no pin box interference.

  • Reese Hitch and Sidewinder Recommendation for 2019 GMC Sierra 3500 Short Bed with OEM Rail Kit
    Since we know you have a Rota-Flex pin box on your trailer we also know that there is a Sidewinder that can fit as a replacement. We do need to know more info though to determine which specific Sidewinder you need. You'll need to look for an LCI number like 1621, 1116, 1716 etc. and we'll know which is the correct fit. If you have a Lippert 1621, 1621HD or 0719 you'd want the part # RP34FR. If you have a Lippert 1116, 1716 or 0115 you'd want # RP77FR. So the other part of this that gets...

  • How to Tow Fifth Wheel Trailer with 2015 Ram 2500 Short Bed with Ram Box
    I have a solution for you, but 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 so the Ram Box wouldn't interfere. The only problem is that Sidewinder hasn't officially said that you can use...

  • Recommended Fifth Wheel Hitch for 2018 Ram 2500 With 6-1/2 Foot Bed
    The fifth wheel hitch I strongly recommend for your 2018 Ram 2500 with the factory puck system is the B&W Companion # BWRVK3670. The Companion is considered by many to be the highest-quality fifth wheel hitch available. It features dual jaws which are a full 1" thick to provide complete contact with your king pin so you can have faith that your connection is completely secure. I've added a picture of the jaws so you can see for yourself how impressive they are. The Companion is also...

    Yes, the Universal Wedge for 5th Airborne Sidewinders # 201100 will work with the Reese Sidewinder 5th Wheel King Pin with Rotating Turret RP34FR, but the correct wedge is more dependent on the type of fifth wheel hitch. If you have a Reese M5 5th Wheel Trailer Hitch # RP30928 like we talked about in your previous questions then you'll want the Sidewinder Wedge Kit for 20,000-lb Reese M-Series # RP44FR.

  • Fifth Wheel Hitch Recommendation for Replacing RBW Lil Rocker
    The Lil Rocker fifth wheel hitch you have is designed to fit the same industry standard fifth wheel rails as the current hitches made so we have several hitches that would work. The Reese Hitch part # RP30047 would be a great option. It has a 16k capacity and has a great jaw design that will hold the king pin of your trailer tightly for a smooth towing experience.

  • Can a Slider 5th Wheel Trailer Hitch Be Used in a Long Bed Truck
    You can use a slider type of 5th wheel trailer hitch, like # RP30051 in a long bed truck. In a long bed truck it is very unlikely that you will need to use the sliding feature of the hitch to make 90 degree turns safely. It can remain in the tow position (not slid back) and you should have enough clearance with an 8 foot bed truck. A slider should only be slid back when making tight maneuvers and not for general traveling. For something rated higher, but is not a slider, we have the Reese...

  • Why is Truck Bed Payload and Pin Weight Capacity Different for 2019 Ford F-250
    There is a big difference between the payload capacity of a truck and the pin weight capacity from a fifth wheel or gooseneck trailer. The difference is due to the fact that payload is basically the weight capacity of the truck bed and pin weight capacity is for the frame of the truck since the hitch attaches to the truck's frame and comes through the truck bed. The bed doesn't support the in-bed hitch at all which explains why there's a difference. I believe you have a 2019 Ford F-250...

    The articulink rear suspension on your 2017 Ram 2500 Power Wagon will not cause any issues with a set of airbags or a 5th wheel hitch because they all install in slightly different locations on the vehicle and do not counteract one another. For a set of airbags, I recommend using the Air Lift LoadLifter 5000 Air Helper Springs part # AL57289 because they do not require any drilling into the truck frame and they do not interfere with the brackets for a 5th wheel hitch.

  • Is Reese M5 Available for 2020 Chevy Silverado 2500
    There are a few reasons why you are having problems finding the Reese M5 hitch as a fit for your 2020 Chevy Silverado 2500. The first is that it looks like you input that you have a 6-3/4' bed with the OEM Prep Package. While that is an excellent option, Reese hasn't released a sliding M5 hitch as of yet (March 2020). We do have the 20K M5 # RP30928 that fits standard base rails but you'll need the adapter # DM6333 to make it compatible and we only really recommend stationary hitches...

    Since your 2017 Dodge Ram 1500 has a box that is shorter than 6 feet you will actually need to go with a stationary 5th wheel hitch and then change the pin box on your trailer to a Sidewinder pin box. There are no sliding 5th wheel hitches that will allow you to make a 90 degree turn with a truck that has a box under 6 feet. The Sidewinder takes the pivot point on your towing setup and moves it from the king pin back 22 inches to the rotating pin box. We have a selection of Sidewinders...

With that said the M5 Series 5th Wheel Trailer Hitch - Single Jaw - 20,000 lbs part # RP30928 that you looked at would be a perfect fit for your trucks payload.

With a 5-1/2 foot bed, it is strongly recommended to use a fixed hitch and a Sidewinder pin box replacement to give you the turning clearance.
