• Looking for a Reese Elite 18K Hitch w/o Wire Harness for a 2017 Ford F-350 with Factory Tow Package
  
• I checked to see if just the parts for the Elite Series 5th wheel hitch were available so that they can be pieced together, but the only parts available are the Center Section # 58225 and the Head Kit # 58292. My contact at Reese said that the legs were discontinued as a replacement part back in 2013. Because of this you will need to get the whole Reese Elite Series Pre-Assembled 5th Wheel Trailer Hitch w/ Wiring Harness # RP30142. You could either sell the included 7-Way or you could...

• Towing a Trailer Rated for 15,500 Pounds with A 15,000 Pound Rated Hitch
  
• Congratulations on the purchase of a new RV. For safety reasons, I can not recommend the setup that you are suggesting. Even though your, # 30046, hitch is rated to tow 15,000 pounds, the potential to overload the hitch exists. I would recommend upgrading your 15k hitch to at least a 16k model. There are two models that you can use to upgrade your existing hardware to either 16,000 pounds or 20,000 pounds. The Replacement 16K Fifth Wheel Hitch Head, item # RP30047A, would use your existing...

• Replacement Head Assembly for Reese Signature Series 16K 5th Wheel Trailer Hitch
  
• I spoke with our contact at Reese and he informed me that typically when the head assembly locks up like yours, you simply need to lube the head assembly. You can use some lithium grease such as the LubriMatic # L11350 and lube the jaw, as well as down the channel that the handle slides in, working it a few times. Then simply repeat until hopefully you are able to unlock the assembly. If this does not work, the appropriate replacement plate assembly is the Reese # 58292. This is a 20K...

• Reese Elite Series Jaw Will Not Open All the Way with Handle Locked in Open Position
  
• There could be something gumming up the works internally with your hitch, # RP30142, that is not allowing the jaws to stay fully opened. Usually this means there is some dirt and grime that got mixed up with the grease used to lubricate the mechanism. If you take just the head off and flip it over you might be able to see this more clearly. If you clean off the old grease and reapply some new grease that could be all you need. It is also possible that there is something mechanically...

• Yes, the Replacement 16K Fifth Wheel Hitch Head, item # 30047A, will work on the Kwik Slide Fifth Wheel Slider, item # 30048, that came with the # 30049 15K hitch. The Replacement 16K Fifth Wheel Hitch Head - Draw-Tite and Reese, item # 30047A does tilt front to back and side to side. If you are looking to upgrade the features or capacity of your hitch you could also use the Reese 18K Select Plus Fifth Wheel Head Kit, item # 58292, along with the Reese Replacement Head Support for...

• What Does Jaw of Reese Elite Fifth Wheel Hitch Look Like When Locked Open and Closed
  
• When the Reese Elite hitches like what the head part # 58292 fits is locked open the hook that grabs the king pin slide totally out of the way of the head of the hitch. In the attached picture you can see the open and closed position that I took from the demo video I attached below. The head of the hitch does pivot to help with terrain that isn't perfectly level, but in general it does help quite a bit if your truck is perfectly level to the trailer when you go to connect and disconnect....

• Jaw Will Not Open All the Way on Hi-Rise Gooseneck-to-5th-Wheel Trailer Hitch Adapter
  
• It sounds like your Hi Rise hitch # 9480-5W just needs some routine maintenance. Over time the moving parts could get grim caught up in the works and cause the jaw retraction problem you are having. Making sure the moving parts are cleaned and lubricated per the manual is the first step I recommend taking. I have linked the manual for you. If you continue to have the problem then it is also possible that something is worn and/or needs to be replaced. In this case it is most likely a...

• Weight of Each Piece of Reese Elite Series Fifth Wheel Trailer Hitch
  
• The Reese Elite Series Fifth Wheel Trailer Hitch # RP30144 basically breaks down to three pieces: The head # 58292 which is about 40 pounds, the head support # 58293 which is about 50 pounds, and the sliding base which is about 100 pounds. Realistically, you will only remove the head to move the hitch in and out of your truck bed so the base and head support will be attached weighing about 150 pounds.

• Will the 18K Select Plus 5th Wheel Hitch Work with Reese 16K 5th Wheel, with Slider
  
• I spoke with my contact at Reese and made sure that your slider, either a Kwik Slide or a Round Tube Slider, will work with the 18K Fifth Wheel Hitch - Select Plus, item # 30081. You can use the Select plus 18k head on either slider, so you should be good as long as your slider is made by Reese or Draw-Tite. You could also order the parts separately without the legs. You would need item # 58292 and # 58293, but the cost would be more than ordering the Select Plus 18K Fifth Wheel Hitch,...

• Will the Reese 20K 5th Wheel Hitch # RP30084 Work in and Older 14K Square Tube Kwik Slide
  
• You will need to purchase a new fifth-wheel unit with slider to upgrade your truck for towing the heavier trailer, because the 14K head has different mounting dimensions than the newer Reese fifth-wheel heads and they will not fit on the quick slide that your 14Kk head fits on. The Reese 14K Kwik slide you have is not compatible with newer fifth-wheel heads like the 18K Select Plus Fifth Wheel Head Kit - Reese, item # 58292.

• Can I Switch Legs On Reese Elite For Ford Puck System To Fit GM Factory Puck System
  
• We do have hitches that fit the GM factory puck package but the replacement legs part # RP30889 is not compatible with the head of your Reese Elite Series hitch part # 58292. The Reese Elite hitch is designed with legs to fit the Ford prep package or the Reese Elite Underbed Rail installation kit, but you already have a puck system. I recommend getting a 5th Wheel Hitch designed to fit the GM factory puck package The Reese M5 part # RP30890. I recommend this 5th Wheel Hitch because...

• Will an 18K Select Plus Fifth Wheel Hitch Fit the Slider from a Reese 15K Hitch

• Locking Jaw Will Not Fully Open On Reese 20K Select Plus 5th Wheel Trailer Hitch
  
• There are a few things that could cause the issue you are having with the locking jaw not opening up fully on the Reese Select Plus 5th Wheel Trailer Hitch part # RP30081. The first thing I would check is that the jaw is greased properly and there is no foreign material inside the head that is stopping the jaw from fully opening. If nothing is found then there could also be a damaged component such as the jaw spring part # RP58230. If needed, we also offer a replacement head the 20K Select...

• Will a Reese Elite Series 5th Wheel Trailer Hitch Head Fit in a Reese 16K Slider Base
  
• I have some good news for you. While an Elite Series head would not work in place of the 16K head on Reese 5th wheel hitches you can use the Select Plus head # 58292. The only other part you would need according to Reese is the center section specific to this head which is # 58293. Another 20K option is to use the Pro Series head that comes with the center section # 30118. The slider base that you have now in your 2009 Chevy/GMC Silverado/Sierra 2500 is compatible with the above options.
