Video Transcript for Review of Reese Fifth Wheel Installation Kit - Outboard Mounting Brackets - RP56016
Jeff: Hello everybody, this is jeff at etrailer.com. Today, we're going to take a look at the Reese Quick-Install custom outboard brackets for fifth-wheel trailer hitches. Now this kit is a custom fit part. It is designed to fit the 2011 to 2016 Ford F-250, F-350, and F-450 Super Duty trucks without the OEM prep package.And on a custom fit part like this, I always like to recommend for you to go to our website, use the fit guide, put in your year and model vehicle, and it'll show if this'll work for your application.Now, these are custom outboard brackets, which will dramatically reduce the amount of drilling and time required to install your fifth-wheel trailer hitch to your vehicle. These installation brackets will mount beneath your truck bed, and they provide the attachment points right here for your fifth-wheel rails.Now, these are just like the original custom mounting brackets. These brackets installed below the bed, and they do use existing holes in the truck frame, minimizing installation time and will help minimize drilling and measuring.
And it cuts down that installation time by more than half compared with universal bracket systems.The biggest difference with these, these are outboard brackets, and they're designed to install outside the vehicle's frame. So the result is a much simpler installation process where most underbed components can be easily avoided because you're working outside the frame rails, and you also have easier access with your tools and more room to work, making the whole process, less of a pain.Now these outward brackets are designed to work with the extended length base rails. We do sell those separately on our website. They're part number RP30153. Now those above bed rails are five inches longer than the standard universal rails so that they'll match up with the mounting points on these brackets, which will sit below the bed and outside your truck's frame.You can see it does include the hardware for mounting these brackets to the vehicle frame.
Nice set of instructions on how to install them. And these parts are a nice sturdy black powder coat steel, so they do resist corrosion.But that should do it for the review on the Reese Quick-Install custom outward brackets for the fifth-wheel trailer hitches.

Review from a similar Quick-Install in Accessories and Parts
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

Review from a similar Quick-Install in Accessories and Parts
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

Review from a similar 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 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

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

Never shop anywhere else except etrailer,,, every product I have ever purchased from them has been extremely user friendly and easy to install. I’m a novice handy man and even I can install their equipment with ease. I installed these 5th wheel brackets on my 2008 Tundra a year ago and after watching video and following the instructions, had zero problems installing them! Thanks again etrailer for your 100% customer satisfaction guarantee and support. You’ll be hearing from me again in the near future! 941021

Review from a similar Quick-Install in Accessories and Parts
etrailer folks were awesome! I placed my order during the pandemic and some of the parts were on back order it took a couple of months to get everything together, normally I would have waited until things were caught up to place and pay for the order but these guys kept me in the loop via email. However I wasn’t to thrilled to see that the paint on the mounting brackets that I Oder was coming off and the hardware was rolling around in the box which also dinged up the mounting plates normally I wouldn’t care but I’m installing this on my brand new F250 so needless to say that I had to sand and repaint the custom mounting plates because you can see them in the wheel well. Other than that etrailer was awesome as well as the other parts that I had ordered! Thanks guys and gals 937249

as always etrailer is great to do business with. one thing that I think would be helpful is to be able to purchase the isolation tape needed for use on ford aluminum bodies so that it would possible to change hitches from older vehicles to the new aluminum fords. 920382

- Custom 5th Wheel Base Rail Brackets Compatible with 2012 Ram 3500 4x4For your 2012 Ram 3500 Long Bed 4x4, the brackets you need are Curt Custom, No-Drill Fifth Wheel Bracket Kit for Dodge Ram # C16420. This will work with the industry standard rails you referenced. Technically you shouldn't combine brands so I also recommend getting the complete rail kit # C16420-204.

- Fifth Wheel Rail Mounting Bracket Compatibility with 2012 and 2015 Ford F-250 with 6-3/4 Foot BedThe Reese Quick-Install Custom Outboard Brackets # RP56016 will fit both the 2015 Ford F-250 and 2012 Ford F-250 with 6-3/4 foot beds. If you want the brackets and rails, then you will use the Reese Quick-Install Custom Outboard Installation Kit w/ Base Rails # RP56016-53.
view full answer... - Reese Bracket Kit to Install Outboard Fifth Wheel Rails in 2015 Ford F-350Sounds like you have a set of Reese outboard style fifth wheel rails to install in your 2015 Ford F-350 and need the correct bracket kit to fit them to the truck. For that what you'd need is the part # RP56016. Then the correct hardware kit for attaching the Reese rails to the brackets then is the part # RP58430.
view full answer... - Recommended Mounting Brackets for Reese Fifth Wheel Trailer Hitch in 2015 Ford F-250To go with your Reese # RP30047 fifth wheel hitch I suggest the # RP56016 brackets. They're confirmed to fit your 2015 Ford F-250. These are custom designed outboard brackets which will be easier and faster to install than universal brackets. They also reduce the amount of drilling into your truck's frame.
view full answer... - Fifth Wheel Bracket Kit Recommendation for Rail Kit for 2015 Chevy Silverado 2500You have to match the brand of rails to the brand of bracket kit, but if you have Reese rails the best bracket kit we have is the # RP50066 which is a custom fit kit for your truck. You'll need the hardware kit that attaches the rails to these brackets though as that hardware is considered one time use. So for that you'd want the part # 58164. If the rails you have are a different brand let me know and I'll see if we carry the matching bracket kit.
view full answer... - Fifth Wheel Rail Kit Recommendation for 2014 Ram 2500 Yes, we have a set of Reese custom fit fifth wheel rails for your 2014 Ram 2500. For that you'd want the part # RP50054-58 which is a confirmed fit and will work well. It's a custom fit so it won't require any frame drilling and will install in about half the time as a universal kit. For just the brackets you'd want # RP50054.

This kit is only a fit for 2011-2016 model years of Ford F-250 and F-350 trucks. For your 2001 Ram 2500 I recommend using the Reese Universal Base Rails and Installation Kit for 5th Wheel Trailer Hitches - 10 Bolt # RP30035 as there isn't a custom bracket kit available. If you already have the base rails then you will need the brackets and hardware # RP30439.

However you can use the Reese Quick-Install Custom Outboard Installation Kit w/ Base Rails for 5th Wheel Trailer Hitches # RP84FR, which is the outboard installation rail kit for your 2021 Silverado 2500. This would currently be the only option available for your 2021 Chevy Silverado 2500 that provides you with outboard mounted rails.

If your rails are Reese and 48 inches long by 7-1/2 inches wide by 1-7/8 inches tall then # RP56016 is the correct bracket kit.
