Speaker 1: Today, we're going to take a look at the Reese quick install custom outboard brackets for fifth wheel trailer hitches. Now, this is a custom fit part. It is designed to fit a 2014 and newer Dodge Ram and Ram 2500 short bed and long bed trucks without the factory rail kit, and on a custom fit part, I always like to recommend for you to go to our website, use our fit guide, put in your year, model, vehicle, and it will show if this will work for your application.Now, these installation brackets will mount beneath your truck bed. They provide you attachment points for your fifth wheel rails. Now, these do use the extended length base rails, part number RP30153, that we do sell separately on our website. The rails are designed to sit in the truck bed, and they allow the installation of your fifth wheel trailer hitch to your truck.Now, these are custom outboard brackets so they mount to existing holes in your vehicle's frame.
This will minimize drilling and measuring, and it cuts down your installation time by more than half compared with the universal bracket systems.The hardware for installing these brackets to the frame is all included with a nice set of detailed instructions, and these are a sturdy, black powder coated steel to help resist corrosion. That should do it for the review on the Reese quick install custom outboard brackets for fifth wheel trailer hitches.

The kit arrived within a few days-very happy about that. very easy to install. the directions were clear and pictures good. I went to the trouble of using a sharpie to mark the part numbers on everything before I started just to keep to all straight. I would note that on the 2017 F350 diesel the only problem bolt was on the driver side inline with the DEF tank. long skinny arms with flexible wrist is ideal (not what I have). I would also suggest taping the shims onto the outboard frame brackets to save yourself some frustrations. otherwise they are difficult to get and keep in place, especially on the driver side. the two nuts that go inside the frame tube come on/with a nice handle although a bit light on the wield. here again save yourself and tape the shims on before you try to insert two things into that hole, align and fasten the bolt-by yourself. I used an extension with wobble head and socket to turn the bolt while holding the nut "assembly" in place. I did remove the rear wheels and fender well liner-a must. Lastly, great customer service on the phone. Pleasant and patient answering questions. Wayde C - Montana 356688

The hitch install kit is a good product. It took about six hours to install because my installer had never put this kit on the new Ford with the aluminum box before and he wanted it to be right. There was some issues with the fit on the frame. Little things like welds not ground down and getting it to fit tight to the frame of the truck. He was able to fix all of the issues with out any problems. Just a little longer installation time is needed to insure a proper fit than we expected. Overall, a good product. I would buy this hitch installation kit again, and I do recommend it. 480261

I needed a mounting kit for a fifth wheel. No one but these guys had it in stock. They shipped it fast and very reasonably priced. The customer got the truck for the weekend and can go camping now. 398016

All was good, but there were no nuts for the bolts. For as much as this cost it looks like I could get the nuts for the bolts to. 598497

Just what my husband needed and then the easy installation makes it great because he had an accident and can't grip hold of little screws and these screw together without holding both pieces... a very happy customer 322449

Excellent company--a portion of the order was missing, & problem was resolved with one phone call. Packaging was stellar and was shipped in a timely manner. They have the best tracking system I've ever come across. Would definitely use this company again. 490201
Review from a similar Reese Quick-Install in Accessories and Parts
Very easy to install. Measure twice, drill once. I used every piece of galvanic corrosion tape to protect the aluminum bed in the kit, probably could have used a little more. Even though I painted the edge of the holes after drilling, maybe some sort of insulator could be used there also. 543657

Review from a similar Reese Quick-Install in Accessories and Parts
My 5th Wheel Rails came with Universal "L" brackets but these brackets seem much stronger and also look good on the truck. The main reason I purchased these was because it uses existing holes in the truck frame to mount. I didn't want to make holes that may not line up. These worked perfect for my 2006 Ford F-150. One advice I can give, buy some "ratcheting" open end wrenches and attaching the rails to these brackets becomes much better since there isn't enough room for a socket between the frame. 9315

Very happy how soon the product I ordered was at my door step. 3 days after I ordered it. Put the base to my 5th wheel on my 2017 250 diesel sd took me around 5 hrs, would have been faster with 2 people. The base fit my husky 16k prefect when I done torquing all the bolts. Going to use this hitch to pull my 29.5 Durango EZ 1500. 550285

I am glad I bought this kit for my 2011 ford f250. It fit really well and went together much easier than the universal kit would have. In my opinion this is a must have when installing a fifth wheel rail kit. Definitely worth the money. 284900

Review from a similar Reese Quick-Install in Accessories and Parts
I agree with the other reviews, allow yourself extra time and patience when installing this kit. It fit perfectly without drilling any holes in my new truck frame. Some of the bolts are near impossible to catch. It took me about 3-4 hours to install. Find someone to help who has skinny arms and long fingers....anyone who has installed this will agree. I am glad I used this instead of the universal "L" brackets, it was well worth the effort. 17953
Review from a similar Reese Quick-Install in Accessories and Parts
Five hours to install; which included a half hour searching for the key to the padlock on my spare. E-Trailer linked me to an installation video which really helped. I took my time and measured three times before I drilled the bed. Installation is a lot easier with someone to hold the bolts from the top. I fabricated mounting brackets on my last truck, but these were worth the money and I didn't have to drill the frame! Good design and straight-forward installation. My only issue was the video didn't show one bolt install that secured the driver's side rear bracket to the bottom of the frame. I was going off the video only and wasn't using the written instructions. Make sure you go step by step using both. Also, some parts are clearly for a different application so there will be a few parts left over. My experience with e-trailer was awesome. 154484
