Video of Reese Elite Series Under-Bed Gooseneck Trailer Hitch Head Kit - 25,000 lbs
Videos are provided as a guide only. Refer to manufacturer installation instructions and specs for complete information.
Today we're going to take a look at the Reese elite series under bed gooseneck trailer hitch head kit, has a 25,000 pound weight capacity. Now this gooseneck trailer hitch head is designed to specifically fit the 2011 and newer Ford Super Duty trucks that have either the original equipment Ford rails or the Reese elite series rails. Now the Reese elite series rails we also sell separately on our website, part number RP30126. This is an under bed design, so it ensures full access to your truck bed when this gooseneck ball is removed from the hitch head. It is a bolt in no drill installation, includes all the mounting hardware right here to install the head to the under bed rails. The pop in ball, gooseneck ball right here fits securely. It's very easy to insert and remove.
All you have to do is right here on the ball itself, you lift, turn this lever to unlock it. Then you just drop it in there and then when you turn it, it'll lock it right into place, keeps it from rotating or moving around. Uses the built-in ball bearing system. To remove it, just pull up rotate it and you can see there's the ball bearing system that it uses to lock it into place. Just drop it in, turn it, simple as that.
Does come with the two safety chain hook ups, they are included. These attach directly to the power pucks built into your gooseneck rails for simple mounting and removal. Then you just hook your safety chains to these hooks. Comes also with this nice rubber cover. Just remove the ball. The rubber cover's nice because it'll keep this ball hole free from any dirt or debris building up in it when the ball is removed.
Again you just pop that on there and then since all this is underneath the bed, you have full truck bed access. Comes with this nice heavy duty storage bag, which will keep the ball in good condition when it's not being used and it's easy to access. Few specs on this, the towing weight capacity is 25,000 pounds. The vertical load limit or tongue weight capacity is 6,250 pounds and the ball diameter is your standard two and 5/16 gooseneck ball size. But again just to show you how this would work, just pull up on this to unlock that, drop it into place, turn it, and it locks it into place. But that should do it for the review on the Reese elite series under bed gooseneck trailer hitch head kit with a 25,000 pound weight capacity..

Designed specifically for your Ford F-250/F-350/F-450 with factory-installed or Reese Elite Series rails, this under-bed gooseneck hitch head includes the easily removable Pop-In ball, mounting hardware and safety chain loops.I have a 2016 Ford F250. My truck didn't come installed with any hitch equipment other than the stock bumper hitch. I insulted Reese Elite Series rails under the bed and have pulled my 5th wheel just fine since. Recently, I purchased a new 5th wheel trailer and the dealer tossed in an Andersen Ultimate Hitch 2. The only problem is that my truck hasn't been equipped with a gooseneck hitch. This product solves that problem, integrates with my current setup, and is incredibly easy to install. Can't wait to test it out on the road this weekend. Here's my current setup: 2016 Ford F250 Air Lift Air Ride System with compressor Reese Elite Rails with Gooseneck Hitch Kit 448210
My rails were allready installed when I bought the truck so this is only for the gooseneck kit. This product is made in China but the workmanship is very good. Shipping was fast and all hardware was correct and included. One major problem I had was the measurement in the instructions to locate the 3 1/2 hole was off by 5/8 of an inch to far foward which would have screwed up the bed with a huge oblong hole. I have a Ford which have dimples marking the drill locations but I also have sprayed bed-liner which covers up the dimples so I was very careful and drilled the pilot hole from the underside using the dimple. Once the hitch hole was drilled installation was quick and easy but you will need a helper to hold the hitch in place until you get the washers and nuts started. 682034
Super easy to install after the 5th wheel rail system was already in place. 517903
Product delivered very quickly and in good condition. 461425
Kit works perfect on 2016 Ford F-350 with prep package installed that did not come with the gooseneck ball plate. Very quick shipping and better price than any offered on [other sites] Easy to follow instructions and precise fit. Thanks 452840
ALL of my orders and business with etrailer result in Outstanding service, Expedious delivery and Superb product condition upon receipt! This order of my new Reese Elite 5th wheel assembly, Underrail 5th wheel kit, and Gooseneck kit assembly meets those same conditions I stated above. Thank you E-trailer for another stress-free and wonderful experience with your business and very professional staff! Your business is my first choice when shopping online for all product of this type. Sincerely Dennis R. 333318

Perfect fit for my 2012 Ram 2500 with Ramboxes! Allows me to use a the Ford OEM Companion #BWRVK3300 to haul a camper with the sidewinder and still have the option to have a removable gooseneck ball. Couldn’t be happier! Thanks again! 619604

Review from a similar Reese Elite Series in Accessories and Parts
Wanted to leave a message about all my experiences with etrailer. I purchased a new Ford F-350 Super Duty in August and wanted a lot of aftermarket items for it. I accidentally found etrailer on the internet while searching. They have everything I was looking for. Their pricing was very competitive with free shipping on a lot of items. The last item purchased was a Reese gooseneck ball and safety chain hookup. It’s a great item, very easy to install and shipped the next day. I’m very pleased with etrailer. 571867
Works Perfect still looks brand new. I use the gooseneck a lot.

Great hitch to convert your Reece elite puck system to a gooseneck. Plastic cover is pointless and doesn’t stay down, but it’s not needed anyway. 660919

Good product. Needed a larger fifth wheel as we upgraded the camper. This one was rated for our needs. 337892
Review from a similar Reese Elite Series in Accessories and Parts
Great hitch. Very heavy and sturdy. Fits my 2016 F350 with factory puck system like a glove. Very easy drop into pucks and lock into place. The hitch separates into two pieces to make it able to be installed or removed by one person, but two are better. We tow a 16,00 pound 5th wheel with this hitch. 539826

Looks good, however, it was made in China, something I didn't see on the website. Hope it lasts. 195353
So far so good. The only problem was finding safety chain hooks that fit the safety hookups. I gave up and used heavy duty d-rings instead.

Picked up hitch today at shipping depot. Everything was exactly as described. Have purchased this model of Reese hitch prior so am a satisfied returning customer. Have never purchased from etrailer before and they are excellent with great support and notifying of shipping status etc. Great purchase experience!! 503615
Review from a similar Reese Elite Series in Accessories and Parts
Item was received well packaged. All parts were received as expected. I wish I would have taken pictures of box when it was received or as I installed it on my 2015 F250 but rest assured it fit into my Ford with the 5th wheel prep package quite easily. Directions were adequate. My only issue was I did not know if the pre-asembly of the base was torqued correctly. There was no mention of it in the packaging and I do not own a torque wrench so it would have been comforting to know that it was done properly before shipment. However it appeared to be okay and I had no issues towing my 5th wheel the 15 miles from the dealership to my home. Also there is no mention prior to ordering that you need lithium grease to properly lube the moving parts. Make sure you have on hand prior to assembly. Overall, excellent product and I am definitely please with it and highly recommend it. 203214
I am thoroughly pleased with my purchase one year ago of this hitch. We have towed our 32 crusader across the country and back via different routes with no issues. I have read where others find it heavy to lift in and out of the truck bed. I would too except I remove the hitch plate to lighten the load so that I am lifting two relatively lite pieces instead of one heavy piece. We take the 5th wheel out on the road about every two months so I am happy with how I can separate the two in order to lift them in or out of the truck bed.Extremely easy to install, less than 5 minutes. I am totally satisfied with this product.

The safety chain loops are not big enough to accept the safety hooks for my 24' stock trailer. Easy to install but they need to reengineer the loops. 22987
Why cant you just place a second larger link through that hoop that your chain hook will fit in?

Review from a similar Reese Elite Series in Accessories and Parts
I recently purchased a 2016 Ram 3500 with 5th wheel tow package already present on truck. I wanted an additional goose neck product and looked at various suppliers online and found etrailer products offered for sale. After to speaking with Heather who answered all my questions as well as reviewed feedback from customers I chose to go with the Reese gooseneck kit. I received the product within the shipping date provided to me and I went out to install it. It took me all of 3 mins to install with no issues. I did my best to remove, shake and couldn't get them to budge. It took me a total of 5 mins to remove the parts and storing them back under the rear seat. The parts fit perfect, look great as well as we're the cheapest price I could find. Their online video is all the install instructions you need! I will definitely use etrailer in the future. Thanks Heather! 296158
Review from a similar Reese Elite Series in Accessories and Parts
I have owned B&W, Curt and Reese Hitches for 5th wheel trailers. When I recently purchased a toy hauler I needed a heavy duty hitch for the 20,000# load. I decided to spend the extra money and get the Reese because of previous good experience and fitting the installed pucks in my F350. The Reese felt very light when I unpacked it. The parts are all made in China or Mexico. Assembly and installation took 25 min. The release mechanism feels cheap. It is difficult to make sure the pin is fully seated in the hitch. 2x it looked seated and I was able to install the locking pin and the trailer came out of the hitch! I always do a test pull in forward and reverse before pulling out onto the road. First time it came out I caught it on the test pull, second time it looked good w the test pull but 30' down the driveway it came out and crushed my bedside and tailgate. I would recommend the B &W or Curt before buying the more expensive but inferior Reese. 397426

My entire experience with etrailer.com was excellent. I spent numerous hours researching the hitch and tonneau cover set up I wanted for my 2014 Ford F250. The majority of my time was on the etrailer.com website reviewing Q&A, installation guidance and videos, and expert advise. I chose the Reese Elite Series 5th wheel hitch and the BakFlip F1 tonneau cover. Both products arrived within 10 business days. Installation was as easy and straightforward as expected. The BakFlip F1 really dresses up my F250 and the BakFlip technology makes it very easy to use and gives me full access to my truck bed as needed. The Reese hitch has performed flawlessly. 132420

Review from a similar Reese Elite Series in Accessories and Parts
Will try to keep this as real as it gets out there. 2015 F250 XLT Crew Cab 8' Bed Ordered the Reese Elite Gooseneck and Barger 90 degree wiring harness. Received the gooseneck hitch and harness quickly. Free shipping got here in two days. Item came in two boxes. The rails were poorly packaged. Box was basically open and beat to hell, leaving markings on the rails' paint. Didn't bother me, but might others. The pucks were loose in the box and were lucky they did not fall out. The second box with the ball, ball mount, harness and misc. hardware was packed so well it took about 5 minutes to take off all the staples and then each product was individually boxed inside. Wish they would treat the rail box with the same care. Instructions are ok. Used the online install video instead. The video is slightly simplified as getting the nuts on the bolts is a slight challenge for a one man install. I was able to do the entire installation by myself with the exception of the four rail-to-frame bolts. Getting these snugged up to the point of being able to torque took two people simply because the nuts are hidden on the backside of the rail...particularly the driver-side front...which is slightly behind the gas tank, but still accessible. My F250 is factory lifted 4-5" so I did not have to remove the rear wheels, nor did I have to remove the spare tire or heat shield. Lower trucks will need the rear wheels pulled. Installing the ball mounting plate took some doing. Got one bolt on then decided to actually install the ball into the plate from above pulling the plate tight below. I used vice grips to basically keep the plate mounted tight rather than trying to lift it from underneath with one had and bolt it with the other. For me the most time consuming part of the project was getting the darned bed bolts off to lift the right side. Broke the T50 bit they supplied and then two others. Finally gave up and ground off two of the remaining bolts...and ordered replacements. Tip for those doing this on their own, you may want to spray the bolts from under with PB Blaster the day before you intend to install. I forgot and the issue was likely that the bolts were rusted. The wiring harness was a breeze, although I wish a shorter version was available. (Perhaps I missed it). Had to loop/zip tie about 2-3' under the bed. Connecting between the factory connectors did require me to pull the mounting plate. Was a bit tight to just slip the new connector in. Also, working the harness thru the hole in the bed side was a bit tight. Install probably took 10 minutes after getting the holes drilled. Total install time for this slightly skilled guy was about 3-1/2 hours...after the bed bolts fiasco. Oh...and did it all with a cast on the left arm. Ha! Now to see how she tows! 430852
Review from a similar Reese Elite Series in Accessories and Parts
I have installed this hitch 4 times. It is a solid piece. With a little care in the mounting adjustments, there are no rattles or noises, even when the camper is not connected. The only problem I have is the instructions indicated drilling 4 3" inch holes in the bed. A 2 1/4" set of holes is more appropriate. They leave too much room for installation error. I mount the rails below and use a pointed bolt from the bottom to mark the hole location to drill the bed. Other than that - I think this is a great hitch. 125537
Fantastic! I would recommend this hitch to anyone who wants a quality product.

My Reese Elite 5th wheel hitch arrived UPS. 143lbs and used a hand dolly to take off the truck and wheel to my garage. Came packaged ok. Pre-assembled and everything was included. Read the Manual, which for older people helps, showing lube and parts, install info etc...referring back to the manual/instructions. Used a wooden table(same height as my tailgate) to wheel it right up to the gate and slid the hitch on a piece of cardboard(from the box) into the position of the puck system. Moving the base first then the hitch plate next. The hitch install was simple and easy. Did not need any help. I did call customer service and made a slight 1/4 turn adjustment to two legs for a tighter fit. There again referring to the manual/instructions provided with the hitch. Very pleased with the hitch over all. It served its purpose and I believe will give us many years of service. We pull a 5th wheel gvwr of 11769lbs and completed over 1200 miles of safe towing. Pleased with my purchase. Thank you. 159385

Extremely easy to install, you just pull up the release tab on the top of the ball and turn it 1/4 turn so that it sits atop the ball, then drop the shaft into the receiver on your truck. Once it's fully seated the release tab can be returned to it's seated position* and you're ready to use it. * If the release tab does not return to it's original position then you didn't get the shaft seated deep enough into the receiver. 727773

I ordered a Reese 26.5k Fifthwheel hitch. It was delivered quickly. It came in four pieces; Platform, fifthwheel, handle and wiring harness. I have a puck system in my truck so install was simple and easy, maybe 20 minutes, as I did confirm that all nuts and bolts were tightened to specs. Once I am able to hook to our 24,000 lb RV, I will review how well it handles the weight and it durability. I gave it 4 stars as it appears to be free of mechanical defects, it does appear to be a solid fifthwheel hitch, and it is simple to break down for removal from truck bed if needed. If it tows well and handles the weight of our RV, I will revise my rating to 5 stars. 726541

The hitch arrived when stated. The hitch was assembled and slid into the pucks perfectly. I did some modification to my bed liner to accommodate the hitch and all worked well. I have yet to tow with it, but I have every confidence that it will work great. P.S. Lumber rack and tool box will be removed for towing. 715022
