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.

    Your Husky 5th wheel hitch is indeed compatible with industry standard 5th wheel bed rails which is what is provided by a Reese 5th wheel hitch install bracket/rail kit. However, the # RP50087-58 kit you'd looked at doesn't carry over to the 2021 F-150 model which is year 1 of the 14th generation of the truck, which you kind of alluded to. For your 2021, you'd want to use the # RP56034-53 kit. If you'd like to install a 7-way in the truck bed so you don't have to run the trailer connector...

  • Does A 2020 Ford F-150 W/6.5 Bed Need A Sliding Hitch
    We recommend using a sliding hitch in your 2020 Ford F-150 with a 6.5 bed. The Curt A16 5th Wheel Trailer Hitch w/ R16 Slider Item # C16521 with Reese Custom Fifth Wheel Installation Kit Item # RP56034-53 is as close as you will get to the trailer weight with a slider. It doesn't hurt to have a hitch that can handle more than the trailer.

    In order to tow a fifth-wheel trailer with your 2018 Ford F-150 that has a 5-1/2 foot bed you will need a fixed hitch and a pin box on the trailer that features a rotating turret like a Reese Sidewinder. On a short bed truck like yours a sliding hitch still doesn't provide enough cab clearance for making sharp turns, so the only option is a pin box like this that extends the pivot point back 22 inches from the king pin.

Rotating pin boxes push the pivot point of your trailer back 22" allowing for more turning clearance.

    With trailer manufacturers now adding on Sidewinder type pin boxes similar to the Reese # RP61422 as standard equipment, the goal is to make them not require a sliding 5th wheel hitch, while still providing some added clearance from the truck cab.

The caveat is that you should only use one of these systems and not combine the two. So you'd either...

  • Fifth Wheel Hitch For A 2015 Ford F-150 With A 55 Bed
    For the 2015 Ford F-150 with the 5.5 bed it is not recommended to use a slider because of the bed length. The rails are installed over the axle because of the vertical load from a fifth wheel or goose neck trailer. Because the truck has a 5.5 bed it requires a Sidewinder to give you the clearance needed when making turns. Setting the hitch height is determined when setting up the hitch. Typically when we install them we set them at the middle height and that is usually enough. If you set...

    The only way you can tow a fifth wheel trailer with a truck that has a bed length shorter than 6 feet is to use a Sidewinder pin box replacement on the trailer to give you the needed clearance to make sharp turns.

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.

  • 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...

  • Cushioned and Extended Pin Box Replacement for Lippert 1116
    The only cushioned/extended pin box we have that will replace the Lippert 1116 pin box and provide more than 23-1/4" from the rear most bolt holes to the center line of the kingpin is the 5th Airborne Premium 5th Wheel Air Ride King Pin w/ Sidewinder part # RP61412. This pin box has an integrated airbag to decrease chucking/jaring in addition to a rotating turret to increase turning clearance. The distance from the rear most bolt holes to the center line of the kingpin on this pin box is...

  • 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...

  • What 5TH Wheel Hitch Attaches To 5TH Wheel Rails That Don't Have Slots Like Industry Standard Rails?
    Currently the only hitch I know of that uses rails different than the ISR Industry Standard Rails is the Demco Hijacker # DM8550032. This uses a different type of Underbed Rail and Installation Kit # DM8551000 that only has 4 holes that the hitch will drop into and lock onto. While it is possible to have another type of system that may have been discontinued you can send me pictures and measurements of what you do have and I can use that information to determine if there is anything else...

  • 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...

  • How to Pull a Fifth Wheel Trailer With 5-1/2 Foot Bed Ford Truck
    The only way for you to pull a fifth wheel trailer with a 5-1/2 foot bed is to use a Sidewinder and fixed fifth wheel; a sliding hitch would not give you enough clearance between the hitch and cab and would not allow you enough space to turn without your trailer smashing your cab. If you let me know the year and model of your Ford truck I may be able to find a set up for you. In the meantime please take a look at the help articles I've linked on fifth wheels and Sidewinders.

  • 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...

  • 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...

  • 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...
