We were first time camper people and new nothing about a 5th wheel. Thank goodness for etrailer's knowledgeable customer service! We didn't know what all we needed so we called. Good thing too because the things we thought we needed were wrong. We spoke with Josh and compared notes. Shipping was within one week!! Every single thing we needed was shipped to us and everything fit. I appreciate doing business with them.

Quick delivery. Easy to deal with. Friendly, knowledgeable personnel.

After drilling 3 pilot holes and 1 drilled to 9/16 to fit my rails I found out all rails are not the same size. The instructions don’t have the rail dimensions, that would have help a lot. After getting the correct rails I set the rails to the 27 11/16” drilled a pilot hole and it was not in the right spot. I had to get under the truck and get a measurement from back of the bed to center of the bracket hole to get it in the right spot. The 27 11/16” was closer to 28” not happy with the dimensions matter of fact I’m pissed because I have extra holes in my 2020 Ram truck bed. As for the actual parts they seem to be well made.



by:

Fast shipping, best price and fast easy installation. The rails were a perfect fit for my 2020 chevy silverado 1500. Also had to use the outboard frame mounting kit that installs under the bed. All holes lined up perfectly and was no drilling into the frame.



by:

Item as described and delivered as promised and the customer service people are tremendous , real pleasant to deal with , extremely satisfied , surely do business again . THANK YOU for a pleasant transaction .



by:

The 48 in rails are actually deefer than the 43-inch rails that I've used previously they are American-made so I presume the steel is a better quality than Chinese stuff the only thing I would critique about is the horizontal holes for the pins to fit through could be a bit smaller so the hitch has less wiggle and rattle potential. I've toad trailers professionally before from the RV factories to the RV dealerships and the generic rails seem to work well for me even Towing the heavier triple axle beasts I even have a gooseneck ball adapter plate that I have used on the rails before and they also work perfectly I highly recommend this product and e trailer as their customer service is excellent

I recently purchased a new 2019 Ford F 150 Super crew pickup and needed to have a fifth wheel hitch installed to pull my 19' Scamp camper. With the newer aluminum bed of the pickup I was concerned with safety issues just bolting my rails to the bed and ordered the Reese 65034 Custom Quick Install Mounting Kit. I ordered it on Thursday just before lunch and it was delivered at noon on Monday fast service!
Opened the box and was very happy with the quality. I read the directions and realized that I needed the longer rails so I ordered them on Monday at lunch time and they arrive today Wednesday before 1:00pm simply amazing. The crazy thing is we live 37 miles south of the Canadian border in northern Minnesota. Having the install done on Monday and I can't imagine anything going wrong. Thank You so much!

Great hitch pulls my 16,000Lb camper smooth.

  • Availability of 48 Inch Long 5th Wheel Base Rails
    We do have the Reese Universal Outboard Base Rails - Extended Length # RP30153, which measure 48 inches long. These particular rails are designed for use with Reese custom-fit outboard brackets. If you can tell me the year, make, and model of your truck, I will be happy to recommend the correct mounting bracket kit for installation. I have also attached a short video demonstration on these rails that you can take a look at.

  • What Fifth Wheel Hitches Fit Reese Rail Kit part # RP30153
    The Reese Fifth Wheel Rails part # RP30153 that you have are industry standard rails that will fit quite a few hitches on the market. They are compatible with Curt, Draw-Tite, Hidden Hitch, Husky, Reese and Valley 5th-wheel hitches. A very popular option I really like is the Reese Titan hitch # RP30047 as it has a cushioned head and a jaw system that wraps around the king pin for a secure connection.

  • Taller Fifth Wheel Rail Availability
    The Reese Outboard rails part # RP30153 are a bit taller at 1-7/8 inches. These are called outboard rails because they install on the outboard side of the truck frame rails instead on the inboard side like most. This makes them easier to install.

  • Outboard Base Rails for a 2015 Ford F-150
    It sounds like you need outboard base rails which means the bolts that attach the rails to the frame brackets are located outside the frame rail which makes for an easier install. If this is the case then you will want to use the Reese Universal Outboard Base Rails part # RP30153.

  • Will The Reese Universal Outboard Base Rails Fit A 2017 Toyota Tundra
    The Reese Universal Outboard Base Rails for 5th Wheel Trailer Hitches # RP30153 would be a fit but you would also need the correct brackets to go along with this rails to mount them to the Tundra. You'll want ones like the Reese Quick-Install Custom Bracket Kit for 5th Wheel Trailer Hitches # RP50084. Together the rails and brackets will provide you with mounting points for any ISR (Industry Standard Rails) style fifth wheel hitch.

  • Which Base Rails Can I Use on a 2013 Ram 2500 To Mount a 5th Wheel Hitch to Existing Frame Brackets
    If you've already got the brackets in place then you can use the Reese Universal Outboard Base Rails for 5th Wheel Trailer Hitches - 10 Bolt - Extended Length # RP30153, which comes with the mounting hardware included. This is based off the assumption that you've got outboard brackets (mounting to the outside of the truck frame) since you know they're there. If you've got standard mounting brackets then you can use the Reese Universal Base Rails for 5th Wheel Trailer Hitches - 10 Bolt #...

  • Correct Install Kit For a Reese 5th Wheel Hitch on a 2019 Ram 1500 Classic
    In order to install the Reese R20 5th Wheel Hitch 30867 on your 2019 Ram 1500 Classic you will need to use the Reese Quick-Install Custom Installation Kit part # RP50142-58. This is a custom fit kit that does not require any drilling into the truck frame. There would be no way to attach the Reese Universal Outboard Base Rails part # RP30153 as they do not offer brackets for these that will fit your truck.

  • Brackets Needed For Reese Outboard Bae Rails In A 2021 Ford F-250
    The correct brackets for Reese Outboard Base Rails # RP30153 in a 2021 Ford F-250 would be part number 56017, but we only carry them along with the rails as a kit with part # RP56017-53.

  • Reese Base Rail Kit for 2004 Chevy Silverado 2500HD Short Bed with Reese 5th Wheel Hitch
    Yes, the Reese Universal Outboard Base Rails # RP30153 will fit on your 2004 Chevy Silverado 2500HD Short Bed to provide compatible mounting rails for your existing Reese 15K Hitch, however you still need to add the custom brackets to actually install them to the truck's frame rails. For the complete kit that includes these outboard rails and the necessary custom brackets for your Silverado you will need part # RP56007-53. All the hardware is included. I have attached the written instructions...

  • Will the Reese Universal Outboard Base Rails Fit a 2018 Ram 2500 Mega Cab with RamBox
    Yes, the Reese Universal Outboard Base Rails part # RP30153 will fit a 2018 Ram 2500 Mega Cab with RamBox and Factory Air Ride Suspension. I called Reese to confirm this for you. Please note, you will need special brackets to use the outboards rails as well so if you don't already have these it will be best to just go with the Reese Quick-Install Custom Outboard Installation Kit w/ Base Rails part # RP56009-53. The above kit does not require drilling into the frame and since they are outboard...

  • Base Rails for Reese Custom Outboard Brackets RP56001 on 2015 Chevy Silverado 2500HD
    The correct base rails for your Reese Quick-Install Custom Outboard Brackets # RP56001 are the Reese Universal Outboard Base Rails # RP30153. These are 48" base rails so they are close to the 50" length you mentioned and are going to work well for you.

  • 5TH Wheel Rails For 2019 Ford F-150
    I recommend the Reese 5th Wheel Rails # RP30153 for your 2019 Ford F-150. These rails feature a Limited Lifetime Warranty vs the 5 Year that the Reese # RP58058 carry. They are also compatible with more hitches for more availability down the road. To install these on your F-150 the Reese Quick-Install Custom Outboard Brackets # RP56034 will make it a much simpler installation. These are designed to utilize the holes already in your frame and not require you to drill into the frame on...

  • Can You Use Reese 5th Wheel Rails RP30153 On a 2023 Ford F-350
    I do have an option for you but you have outboard rails part # RP30153 which are longer than the standard rails part # RP58058. Unfortunately, they only offer brackets for standard rails, the Reese Quick-Install Custom Bracket Kit part # RP50074 so you'd need to use these with the shorter, standard rails part # RP58058.

  • Recommended Towing Mirrors for a 2019 Ram 1500 New Body Style
    The towing mirrors that I recommend for a 2019 Ram 1500 (New Body Style) are the K-Source Snap & Zap Custom Towing Mirrors part # KS80730 which are a custom fit option that simply slip over the factory side mirrors. The K-Source Snap & Zap Custom Towing Mirrors will retain a factory like appearance so most people will never be able to tell the difference from the factory mirrors and they have rubber padding to protect the factory mirrors finish as well.

  • Row 3 Hole Enlargement for Installing the Reese Rail Kit part # RP56009-53
    Both the rail kit # RP56009-53 and part # RP30153 that you referenced are considered industry standard rails so yes, a Reese 16k slider hitch like what you have would work well with them. Yes, you do need to use the bushing after you enlarge the 1-1/4 inch hole in row 3. The bush provides support for the bolt that runs through so that it doesn't just damage the bed of your truck when torqued. The bed is what gets enlarged to 1-1/4 inches per the instructions. You would want to drill from...

  • Custom Brackets and Fifth Wheel Rails For 2019 Ram 1500 New Body Style
    If the brackets that you have purchased are not lining up on the frame of the Ram, they may not be the correct brackets or they are the correct brackets for the Ram's frame and do not fit the rails that you are re-using. If you want a kit that is guaranteed to fit the 2019 Ram 1500 New Body Style, I recommend the Reese Quick-Install Custom Brackets part # RP56018 for the 2019 Ram 1500. These Custom Brackets only fit with the 48" base rail part # RP30153. Please keep in mind these rails...

    If your 2013 Ford F-150 has a Reese 10-bolt custom installation kit # RP50081-58 or the universal installation kit then you can re-use the rails but you will need new brackets for the 2015 Ford F-150, # RP50087. This kit does include all the hardware you will need as well. Since there are so many 5th wheel installation kit options I really need to know what install kit you have now so that I can make sure everything is compatible.

  • Does the Reese Universal 5th Wheel Installation Kit Fit a 2015 Chevy Silverado 2500 Long Bed Dually
    The Reese universal 5th wheel installation kit, brackets and hardware only, # RP30439, does fit the 2015 Chevy Silverado 3500 long bed. But, if you have the longer Reese rails like the ones in kit # RP56001-53 (the rails are # RP30153) then you cannot reuse them with the universal brackets. When installing the universal kit the distance from the rear edge of the bed forward to the back edge of the rear rail will be 29-3/4 inches. This will put the hitch centerline directly above the center...
