Is this right for you? Product Expert Alexander C says:
Fifth-wheel trailer hitch provides excellent jaw-to-king-pin contact with a 2-jaw latching system. Wide-stance, 1-piece legs are stable and supremely easy to remove. Rails and installation kit sold separately.
Features:
Specs:
Note: This fifth-wheel trailer hitch will not fit pickups with beds shorter than 6' unless used with a Sidewinder. It also will not fit trucks with flareside/stepside bed.
Unlike the more economical slide-bar models, the rounded, 2-piece jaw on this fifth-wheel trailer hitch inhibits rattle and movement by securely wrapping around your trailer's king pin, resulting in easier hookup and a safer, quieter ride.

Excellent hitch for pulling my 5th wheel. Unhooks a lot easier than my last hitch. My last hitch would bind up and pin would not release at jaws. I would have to move truck up or back to get it just right for it would release. I’m not having that issue with this hitch. Major plus for me!! E trailer is good to work with. It was back ordered a few weeks but overall happy with the hitch.
The hitch was installed on Valley Rails which was previously installed on my 2004 Silverado 3500. The hitch fit on the rails and during the first pull performed outstanding. I pull a 41ft 5th wheel and I am impressed with the double jaw lock.
Troy - 07/20/2022I'm sad reese is made in CHINA! the one leg is not drilled on both sides, i can fix it myself Etrailer is awesome!
The first hitch arrived damaged in shipping. The dent was minor but it was on the receiver plate so I asked to return it.
A lot of vendors would have pushed back on an 89 pound box being sent back but the etrailer team set up the return and shipment of the new hitch. No problem.
The new hitch arrived in good shape this afternoon. It took me about a half hour to install with normal tools and a torque wrench. Directions were clear, the parts fit, and I appreciate having the knowledgeable people at etrailer to fall back on.
There are a lot of things owners can fix themselves with the support of quality products, knowledge, and great customer service etrailer delivers.
The locks are good. I’ve used them before. My problem is with the hitch I installed .The ‘single layer’ cardboard box was REALLY BUSTED UP. The hitch was heavily scratched and the ‘locking tab holes didn’t line up . I had to fabricate a new one , if I’d known that the hitch was made in ASIA, I would’ve bought a different make - REESE has really been downgraded !
I like the pin being surrounded by the jaws instead of just a bar across the back of the pin. The 16K seems to hold the pin tighter and helping to reduce chucking while towing. I had a slider due to when I bought this last 5th wheel, it was kind of forced onto me saying they couldn't let me leave without a slider with a short bed truck. But after I got home, I ordered a Reece Sidewinder, of which I had one on our first 5th wheel back in 2007. This is my third sidewinder and wouldn't pull without one. The Reece 16K hooks up good and towing without the worry of turning to sharp when getting fuel are days gone by, thanks to these 2 combined together.
The first Reece 16k I received had something just not right and I was having a heck of a time trying to hitch up. Sent Nicole here at eTrailer a picture of the jaws a little misaligned. Nicole got back with me quickly and we had a short conversation, and just a few days later I received a replacement head. That's service!!
etrailer gets 5 stars for quick delivery of this hitch. Reese on the other hand gets 0 stars for quality as the first time we hauled with it we got to our campsite and went to pull forward to put the trailer on blocks to level it and a weld broke on the jaw and let the trailer loose and it fell down and went back and bent the tailgate. Then I spent all memorial day weekend trying to get another head to pull 2 1/2 hours home. I did all of the leg work for them only to have to wait for them to make sure that they could pay me for repairs to our truck (3 months). etrailer was great, Reese not so much. So the rating is for the hitch not etrailer.
I spent a whole day installing the Reese 16k hitch and custom quick mounting rails in a 2020 F150. Video was great and I advise you to watch it a couple of times before installing. Paper instructions not so good. If you have a 36 gallon fuel tank, I recommend you to do this install on a lift. I do not recommend you to install on your garage floor especially if you are 67 years old, still sore from laying on my back. You must remove spare tire and heat shield. I installed with tires on and very tight working around large fuel tank area. Going on a test drive to see if everything holds together.
5 stars for etrailer. Hitch replaces same make and model I used for 20 years. Looks to be just as well built. Had to force it to fit my existing ralls however so it will probably be dificult to remove and reinstall like I normally do. That is a manufacturer problem.
Jenny N - 05/03/2022Delivery was fast and packaged well.
This is my first 5th wheel hitch and has worked great for me pulling a shorter camper with a long bed 3/4 ton truck. Nice height adjustability to match the truck with the trailer. Good solid feel while pulling.
Looks like this is going to be a perfect fit for what I need to pull my 2011 Rockwood Signature Ultra Lite 8265WS, 5th wheel trailer with the Revolution pin box. Just had it installed & after many years of driving truck with a 5th wheel, I can tell this is a good sturdy 5th wheel & looks good too.
The hitch has worked great so far . The only problem Ive had so far is the release arm sticking in the release position when trying to get it to go back in to close the jaws after pulling out from under my fifth wheel. I have had to nearly force it back in to get it to close.
Randy G - 11/24/2021When I ordered my part (2) packages I just happened to get a very customer focused and knowledgeable person to assist me. Her name is Jaime B. I have ordered from e-trailer in the past ,however I was pleasantly surprised with my service . She actually under promised and over delivered. I like it like that.
Chuck - 03/29/2022One of the two packages arrived damaged and taped however the contents were intact with only a few nicks and scrapes. The hitch assembled with no problem and now sits in the back of my 8' bed waiting to pick up my 33'5th wheel on the 1st of Nov. Need to get back to Reese to have them improve their packaging method for the head. It weighs far too much for the flimsy packaging they use.
Because it was a new model truck, finding the right hitch became a challenge. etrailer was very helpful in sorting it out. 4,000 miles later we are happy campers
Package was intact no damage. Product assembly was extremely easy and fast. Happy with the service from the rep as was aaa how fast it was delivered.
I have had this hitch for about a year now and have towed our 12K lbs Jayco 5th wheel probably 15 times and it has done great so far. Good hitch, only thing I wish it did was close automatically when it hits the king pin other than that it’s a great hitch.
After getting the rear rail installed, I used the hitch to set the front rail. I worked perfectly. I can remove the hitch without any binding. This was a problem with my old hitch on my old truck that was installed by the service department where I bought my original 5th wheel trailer.
This is basically the same hitch as I had before on my old truck and I had no problems with it after towing approximately 37,000 miles over 15 years so I expect that this hitch will give me the same service.
Roger T - 03/03/2017The hitch has worked as expected. I would expect nothing but from Reese. During our last trip the hitch started to creek so I removed the top and applied a little grease. This unit is working in conjunction with a Revolution king pin box on our 5th wheel. We are very pleased with this unit for our application.
Etrailer has been our go to place for many trailering items. I would recommend them overall for customer and product performance
Ron - 01/06/2018Service always GREAT! Order shipped fast! Boxes were destroyed but, everything intact. Hitch fit rails perfect. Very pleased!
Great 5th wheel hitch and best price I could find. It fit into the rails on my 2012 Ford F250 perfectly. Very pleased with ETrailer's fast delivery and reliable products.
Greg - 08/19/2019Nice hitch, relatively easy to assemble & install, took about 1 1/2 hours. Will be trying it out this weekend.
Product is good quality as it appeared --5th wheel itself was not delivered with rest of kit--arrived three days later. Installation easy.
Installation kit fits perfect-easy installation. Only variable was I had pre-existing air springs , so I had to mark and drill the frame brackets and install the air springs on the outside of the brackets--no big deal--worked out fine
Great fifth wheel hitch for the money. Gives a much smoother ride than my previous Reese than only rotated front to back. The customer service from etrailer was second ton none. I will definitely purchase from these folks again.
shawn c - 08/29/2020Product arrived as scheduled, boxes were in great shape considering the contents.
Installation was straight forward. Around 4 hours to complete due to difficulties of the Toyota chassis. All said and done. I am very pleased with the product and Etrailer.
Will order from them again without hesitation.
Look forward to towing soon..
