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.

Great product. Easy instalation, and perfect fit for my truck. Etrailer was very helpful in selecting the correct item and additional parts needed for my application.
Used it 3 times so far, does what it’s supposed to, the brackets fit the frame very good. Very happy with the setup.
i would like to start off with a BIG thank you to CRYSTAL K. for making this a great shopping / buying experience. i bought the wrong parts for my truck and Crystal helped me get the correct parts.

The brackets arrived in a timely manner. etrailer had a short video which assured potential customers that the brackets would bolt on to my year Toyota but because I have an 8-ft bed and was reusing my existing hitch and rails, I still needed assurance the brackets would work for me. I corresponded by e-mail with etrailer on this question. The etrailer representative I was in contact with requested additional information about my specific hitch and rails which I provided and etrailer confirmed the brackets would work for me. This all happened in a matter of hours. etrailer gave very prompt, accurate service. I attached the brackets, both front and back, and followed the instructions on where to drill through the bed for the rearward brackets and the drill holes in the bed were aligned perfectly with my old rails. The same held true for the front brackets...although I had not cinched them down as they are somewhat (1/2 inch perhaps) moveable. I installed both rails with the hitch in place and torqued the rails down. then torqued the front brackets down. Clearances due to the frame members prevent getting a torque wrench on the front bracket bolts so I just tightened them as much as possible. One person can install the brackets to the frame. It takes two persons to install and tighten the rail bolts. All in all, service was good and the product was good.

It worked very well. I used it on a 1990 Chevy K2500, I believe it was for a later application but I drilled holes in the truck frame to match the brackets and it worked great. Thank you, Joe.

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.

They fit truck just like they were supposed too. Couple hr install with having to remove spare tire and heat shields to get access to bolt locations. Been supporting fifth wheel through thousands of miles. Thanks for helping me find right product for my truck!

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.

We ordered a bracket kit for our new 2017 F350. It was needed to install our Reese fifth wheel. which we use to pull our RV. Product was on back order by manufacturer, however Delisa at Etrailer diligently kept us very informed with updates & shipping status. My husband & son were able to install in a couple of hours. Looks great, outstanding craftsmanship & over exceeded our expectations! We would highly recommend!!!!!

I installed the hitch and brackets myself and am very satisfied with the bracket kit. I’ve towed my fifth wheel about 6 k during the past year and am very satisfied. The instructions were clear and easy to follow.

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!

What an interesting product to install. The mounting to the frame is easy. Getting the bolts through the bed and putting the nuts and washers on the bottom take a lot of patience. There is not a lot of room for your hands to fit between the bed and the frame. I took my spare tire down and I was able to sit under my truck that helped a lot. Bryan

Fit as advertised. Directions were clear. A far better 5th wheel frame mount than supplied with original bed mount. A lot more beefy.
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

Super Pleased with etrailer's products AND personal service from their highly knowledgable staff! I went to a local hitch installation dealer where they attempted to find Item #RP50074-58 ( 5th wheel RAIL KIT for my new '19 F-250 SuperDuty). The installer tried numerous warehouses and distributors across the U.S. but no one had this part! He suggested that I do some further research via the internet on finding this part and wished me good luck IF I did. I began my search with no luck; the reasons being given me were due to the pandemic, few,( if any) people were working and even FEWER warehouses were stocking items! Just when I thought I had exhausted all search possibilities; I reached John H. at etrailer. He was extremely professional, knowledgable and helpful in assuring me that they did, IN FACT, have my part # IN STOCK AND could ship it IMMEDIATELY! Ordered it on the spot (Friday) and it arrived before noon on Monday! I'm EXTREMELY pleased w/ etrailer's quality products; their availability and the friendly service of their staff. John H. went above and beyond in making my purchase easy assuring me that my item would arrive as promised, complete w/ tracking info and a phone # w/ personal ext. if I had any further questions regarding my order. NOW.... how can ya beat THAT? ....YA CAN'T! Have done business w/ etrailer in the past and will definately continue to do so in the future.

Still not sure this is the right item, but the support was great and I'm in the process of verifying details for my unique situation.
Review from a similar Quick-Install in Accessories and Parts
Process of installation was not complicated, you will need a second hand on the two bolt rails in the channel. Directions were good and the installation video helped out a great deal.
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.
