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 RP50081 Review

Speaker 1: Today we're going to take a look at the Reese Quick Install Custom Bracket Kit for Fifth Wheel Trailer Hitches. Now, this is a custom fit part. It is designed to fit the 2004-2014 Ford F150 trucks, all bed sizes. 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 and model vehicle, and it'll show you if this part will work for your application.Now, these are custom installation brackets that will mount beneath your truck bed. They provide the attachment points right here, for fifth wheel rails. These are vehicle-specific brackets.

They're designed to mount to existing holes in your vehicle's frame, so that will help minimize drilling and measuring, cut your installation time in half when compared with the universal bracket systems.Now, the base rails that attach to these, that'll sit in the truck bed, they allow the installation of the fifth wheel trailer hitch. We do sell those separately. It's part number RP58058. And just to show you, I happened to pull one of those. Here's one of the rails.

They come as a set of two. But here's what the rails would look like that attach to these brackets. And then, these rails allow the fifth wheel to drop into your truck bed.Now, in this part, the kit will include the custom bracket shown here. All the mounting hardware, and even a nice set of detailed instructions that describe how to install everything. You'll notice the finish on these is a black powder coat finish.

Helps resist corrosion.But that should do it for the review on the Reese Quick Install Custom Bracket Kit for Fifth Wheel Trailer Hitches.

  • Can Fifth Wheel Bed Rails Be Removed When Hitch is Not Being Used
    When the Reese 5th wheel hitch is removed from the bed rails, the rails will remain in the truck bed. Once the rails are installed by bolting them through the bed to the frame brackets and tightened to their specified torque, they need to remain in place. Removing the bed rails repeatedly would cause undue stress on the mounting hardware thus weakening it, which is why the hardware is rated for a one-time use only. Using the Reese Elite Series Under-Bed Rail and Installation Kit, part...

  • Fifth Wheel Hitch Solutions for a 2011 Ford F-150 Super Crew with a 5-1/2 ft Bed
    There is a way to pull a fifth wheel trailer with a truck bed that is shorter than 6 feet like your 2011 Ford F-150 Super Crew. The clearance solution for trucks with such short beds is to install a sidewinder on the pin box of your trailer. Once installed you would have enough clearance to pull a fifth wheel trailer and make sharp turns. However, you will still need to plug some measurements in to a formula to be absolutely certain. To start, the center of the hitch pin jaws will be...

  • Will An RBW X-16 Fifth Wheel HItch Fit Into a Reese Install Kit like Part RP50081-58
    It may be compatible. Both the Custom Install Kit RP50081-58 and the Semi-Custom Kit part # RP30035-426 are compatible most RBW hitches, but some will not fit properly. If you write back with model of RBW hitch you have, I can verify whether that particular hitch is compatible.

  • Recommended 5th Wheel Trailer Hitch for 2005 Ford F-150 4x4 Dual Cab with 5.5 Ft Bed
    For a fifth-wheel hitch for your 2005 Ford F-150 with 5 foot 6 inch bed, I would recommend the Reese 5th Wheel Trailer Hitch, part # RP30928, which is a 20K hitch. There are a few reasons that I recommend a 20K hitch, the first is that there are more features on the 20K hitch, like a floating head that makes hook up easier and a locking double jaw. Another reason is that in the future if you decide to go with a heavier trailer, you will not have to purchase another hitch. To install, you...

  • Rear 5th Wheel Base Rail Measurement for 2011 Ford F-150 XLT with 5-1/2 Foot Bed
    For your 2011 Ford F-150 XLT, the # RP50026 is not a fit for your 5-1/2 foot bed. It is a fit for the 6-1/2 foot or the 8 foot bed. For the 5-1/2 foot bed you will need the Reese Quick-Install Custom Installation Kit w/ Base Rails for 5th Wheel Trailer Hitches # RP50081-58 or # RP50081 for just the brackets. With this kit the rear edge of the rear rail will be 28-11/16 inches from the rear edge of the truck bed.

    I would like to help you but you need to know that RBW was bought out some time ago by Hayes/ALKO and they no longer produce any of the RBW parts. This means there are no installation kits that will fit your 2014 Chevy Silverado 1500. But if your RBW LR is in fact the Lil Rocker that fits in industry standard rails then not to worry. The Lil Rocker is the one RBW hitch that will fit the rails that most other hitches will fit. You can use either universal installation kit # RP30035 or...

  • Can A Fifth Wheel Trailer Be Used with a Ford F-150 Supercrew 5-1/2 Foot Bed
    You may be able to use a fifth wheel, depending on the width of the trailer. Since the 5-1/2 foot bed is so short, in turning the fifth wheel trailer can end up making contact with the cab of the truck resulting in damage. The Sidewinder is essentially a hitch extender that will provide enough clearance for some fifth wheel trailers to be towed behind 5-1/2 bed trucks. You will need to take some measurements on the truck and the width of the fifth wheel trailer and calculate if you would...

  • Best Way to Tow a Fifth Wheel Trailer with 2014 Ford F-150 with 5-1/2 ft Bed
    For towing fifth wheel trailers with a truck that has a bed length of 5-1/2 feet the best option is the Sidewinder pin box. You will need to remove the pin box of the trailer and replace it with a Sidewinder pin box. Sidewinders are pin box specific so you will first need to know what pin box you have now in order to pick out the correct one. There should be a sticker or a stamping on the OEM pin box of the trailer that will list the pin box number that is on the trailer. Once you figure...

  • Slider Hitch versus Sidewinder Pin Box Turning Clearance for Short Bed Truck
    The fix for towing a 5th wheel with a short bed truck is either a slider hitch or for beds that are shorter than 6-feet a replacement trailer pin box called a Sidewinder. Sidewinders move the trailer pivot point 22-inches back from the king pin, to the rotating turret assembly at the end nearest to the trailer's mounting wings. The two linked articles on 5th wheel towing with short-bed trucks will be helpful. Most slider hitches give you between 10- and 14-inches of travel, but a Sidewinder...

  • Differences Between a Reese Sidewinder and Revolution on a 5th Wheel Trailer and 2012 Ford F-150
    A Sidewinder and a Revolution are the same thing. It is called a Revolution when it comes as OEM equipment on a trailer. There are some design differences as well in terms of how each attaches to the trailer. Those are the only differences. To determine if the Revolution offers enough extra clearance for your truck and trailer, there are some measurements to look at. First, measure from the center of the hitch jaws to the back of the truck cab and add 22 inches (length of Revolution extension)....

  • Will RBW Lil Rocker 5th Wheel Trailer Hitch Fit Reese Rails in a 2005 Ford F-150
    We have determined that the RBW Lil Rocker 5th wheel trailer hitch does fit in industry standard rails but the newly designed rails included with kit # RP56006-53 have not been confirmed. You would likely need to add the longer pins, # RP58467, to get the hitch to fit properly with that kit. But the hitch does fit the other style rails included in kit # RP50081-58 that will also fit your 2005 Ford F-150.

Next, because you have a 5-1/2 foot bed, you will have to use a Sidewinder, see link, instead of a sliding hitch like the # RP30051.

These hitches have 22-1/2 inches of travel to help with turning clearance. The other option is to use a fixed hitch with a Sidewinder pin box.

  • 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.

  • Recommended Wedge Kit For A Reese Sidewinder And Reese M5 Fifth Wheel Hitch
    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. This custom wedge kit is designed to fit the jaws of your hitch for a more snug fit. This...

  • 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...

  • Will Curt A20 5th Wheel Hitch Work with Reese Sidewinder 5th Wheel King Pins
    I do have an option for you but the Curt A-Series 5th Wheel Trailer Hitches like part # C16140 are only compatible with the first generation Reese Sidewinder 5th Wheel King Pins, not the second generation Reese Sidewinder 5th Wheel King Pin because there was an issue with the wedge shearing off during testing. If you have the first generation then you can use the Sidewinder Wedge for Curt A Series 5th Wheel Trailer Hitches part # C16992 but if you have the second generation then you will...

  • Recommended 5th Wheel Towing Setup for a 2017 Ram 1500 with a 5-1/2 foot Bed
    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...

  • 2019 Ram 2500 Pin Weight Capacity and Fifth Wheel Recommendation
    I was able to find some information for you. On your 2019 Ram 2500 CC SB with the 6.7 cummins you will have a payload capacity of right at 2500 lbs. Payload can be used as the maximum allowable pin weight. 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. It offers a max 5000 lb pin weight and will work with trailers up to 20,000 lbs. If you don't already have fifth wheel...

  • 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...

  • Recommendations for Less Chucking On Cougar 5th Wheel with Lippert 1621 Pin Box and 2016 GMC 1500
    For your 2016 GMC 1500 with 5-1/2 Foot Bed, the B&W Gooseneck along with the B&W Companion are not a fit for your truck. If you have the 6-1/2 foot bed, then they are confirmed to fit. 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. A Sidewinder cannot be used with a Gooseneck hitch and adapter. Here are your options: 1- Remove the gooseneck hitch and install bed rails like the Reese Quick-Install...

  • Cushioned Pin Box For 2012 Voltage 3950 RV and 20k Reese Fifth Wheel Hitch
    As long as your 2012 Voltage 3950 RV has a Lippert 1621 pin box on it already the Flex Air part # LC328492 would fit as a replacement and work well. This was designed to match the height dimensions of the standard 1621 pin box like what you have so it would not add or remove any height. For a 20k Reese hitch that would fit rails of your truck and work well the Reese M5 part # RP30928 would be a great option. It has a single hook jaw that holds the king pin very tight which will also help...

  • Troubleshooting Truck Sidewall Clearance on a 2008 F-350 Long Bed 4WD Towing a Carriage 5th Wheel
    The first thing I would check is the fifth-wheel hitch in the bed of your truck. Typically the hitch is height adjustable and can be moved to the highest position for bedside clearance. Going with a standard pin box instead of an extended one will only change the location of the king pin which will bring the trailer closer to the rear of the vehicle. You may then have clearance issues with the trailer loft and the cab of the truck depending on the width of your trailer. If adjusting the...

  • Recommended Sidewinder Pin Box And 5th Wheel Hitch For A 2017 Ram 1500 With 5.5 Bed
    For a 2017 Ram 1500 with a 5/5' bed you'll definitely need to use a sidewinder pin box or Demco Sliding hitch # DM8550040 to prevent the nose of your 2015 KZ Durango D296BH from coming into contact with the cab of your truck. To find a compatible sidewinder pin box for your trailer you'll need to know the bolt pattern of the current pin box. Typically there is a sticker with the model number, serial number, etc. on it that can be used to find out the bolt pattern. If you do not have any...
