Specs:
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.
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.
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.
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.

Today we're going to take a look at the replacement legs for the Reese M5 Fifth Wheel Trailer Hitch, for the Ford Super Duty trucks. Now this is a custom-fit part. These are designed to fit the 2011 and newer Ford F250, F350, and F450 Super Duty trucks with the eight foot bed, and the OEM prep package, and on a custom-fit part like this, I always like to recommend for you to go to our website and use the fit guide, put in your year and model vehicle, and it'll show you if this'll work for your application.Let me just turn this so you can see them a little bit better. Now these replacement legs will fit your Reese M5 Fifth Wheel Trailer Hitch on the Ford Super Duty factory fifth wheel towing prep package. That hitch part number is RP30921. We do sell that hitch separately on our website.
Basically these are just the legs of that hitch, and these'll mount to the center section of the Reese M5 hitch, and allows you to install the hitch onto the Ford OEM prep package.It does come with all the hardware you need to bolt these legs to the center section, nice set of detailed instructions. It's a very quick, simple installation, once these are installed onto the hitch itself, then the whole hitch can drop right into the four receiver pucks that are built into your factory underbed rails.Just to show you how you install it, basically, there's these linchpins, one on each side. And you take the linchpin off, and then the one over there. And then you open up these handles 90 degrees, and when you do that, it rotates these tabs into the open position, and you do the same over here. With them in that position, all you do is drop the whole hitch into the factory pucks.
Once they drop in, you just close the handles. And it rotates it 90 degrees and locks it into the underbed system. And then just put your linchpin back in. Same over here. Everything I'm doing over here, you do the same on this side.Now, sometimes due to the differences in truck underbeds, these handles may be loose or too tight.
And these castle nuts right here can be adjusted. You take the counter pin out, turn this, tighten or loosen it, dependent on what you need for your application. And then they include the four new counter pins that you can put back through there.So it's very simple installation. But that should do it for the review on the replacement legs for the Reese M5 Fifth Wheel Trailer Hitch for the Ford Super Duty trucks.
