Replacement Head for Reese 5th Wheel Trailer Hitch - 16,000 lbs - RP58146
Average Customer Rating: 4.8 out of 5 stars (16 Customer Reviews)
Replacement head fits Reese fifth-wheel 16,000-lb trailer hitches. 2-Piece jaw provides excellent jaw-to-king-pin contact.by: John11/21/2021
When I received the replacement head, the carton was torn in several places. When opened, I saw a 52 pound, two foot long head in a four foot long box, with about six feet of craft paper as ‘packing’. The head’s latch was bent and inoperable, so I had to remove it and do a repair. Also, no locking pin or handle connection Cotter pin we’re included.

Product was exactly as promised. Fit frame and functioned perfectly! Used it to replace head that was 12 years old and had quite a bit of wear which resulted in extra noise and vibration. New head solved problem.

This Reese 16K 5th Wheel head assembly from ETrailer was resonably priced, was delivered on quickly and with no defects. The only issue was that a piece was missing from the shipment. I contacted Etrailer and the missing piece was shiiped out to me. I only give Etrailer 4 stars because of the missing part.

I was very well satisfied with the replacement head for my 16000 lb 5th wheel hitch and professionalism of the people I dealt with at etrailer.com. I would surely use them again.

Great service. Fast processing & quick shipping. Would highly recommend etrailer.
The product is a replacement for a hitch head we damaged.
It's a solid product that performs well.

Part received in good condition and, most importantly, was the correct replacement part. Communication with etrailer was accurate and timely.
by: Jared S.02/27/2012
Very satisfied with the quality and performance of the hitch, operates smoohtly and does everything Reese claims it will.
Also very happy with Etrailer' services and free fast delivery, ordered the product on Monday afternoon and it was three states away on my door step that Friday. They have one more loyal customer....

Delivered one day sooner than estimated. Tha 16 K Reese head I ordered to replace my damaged one from a mistake I made , was packaged well and was the right part number. Pleasure doing business with you. I was able to track the part easy enough and received announcements of its location and when it was delivered.

- Is Reese Replacement 16K Head Compatible with Reese Part # 30048I called my contact at Reese and he confirmed that the Reese Replacement 16K Fifth Wheel Head, part # RP58146, is the correct replacement head for the Reese 15K Kwik Slide # 30048 with # 30049 head. The 2-Piece jaw provides excellent jaw-to-king-pin contact.
view full answer... - Reese 16K Fifth Wheel Hitch Head Replacement RecommendationNow would be the time to replace the head of your hitch with the Reese kit part # RP58146 that you referenced. The damage is bad enough that I would not recommend towing as-is until you get the head replaced.

- Reese Replacement 5th Wheel Hitch Head for a # 3077 5th Wheel HitchI spoke with my contact at Reese and he informed me that you would want a Replacement Pro Series Head # 58165 for your Reese # 30077 Fifth Wheel Hitch. I attached an FAQ article on fifth wheel hitches for you to check out also.
view full answer... - Klip Ring Locations on a Reese 16K 5th Wheel Head RP58146Good news. I was able to go down to our store where we have one of the Reese 16K heads # RP58146 assembled and check out where all the Klip rings are mounted. There are actually 10 in total and some of them are sort of hidden, so I took some pictures and pointed out where they are for you, I have attached the images to the page for you. The opening in the mount of the head will always be at the top of the page to better help you locate them but where # 7 is pointing is also the location...

- Availability of Replacement Jaw Kit for Pro Series 16k Fifth Wheel HitchIf your Pro Series 16k hitch uses a two piece jaw system the correct jaw kit is the part # 58056. If instead you have a slidebar style jaw we do not have a replacement jaw kit for that. I attached a picture that shows the difference between the two jaw designs.

- Pin Recommendation for Securing Hidden Hitch to Fifth Wheel Rails in Truck BedWe have the pins you need to secure your fifth wheel hitch to the rails in the bed of your truck. For that you'd want the part # 6014.
view full answer... - Will Reese Replacement Crossmember Head Support # RP58147 Fit 2004 Hidden Hitch 5th WheelThe Reese Replacement Crossmember Head Support for 16K Reese 5th Wheel Trailer Hitches, part # RP58147 that you referenced, will fit your Hidden Hitch as long as it is not the 18K Hidden Hitch Signature Series fifth wheel hitch.
view full answer... - Installing Reese Replacement Crossmember Head Support # RP58147When properly installed the Reese Replacement Crossmember Head Support # RP58147 which fits their 5th Wheel hitch # RP58146 will slope rearward slightly if installed on a slider base. If used with a fixed hitch base it should be essentially level. It is possible that the unit is installed in a reversed position.
view full answer... - Can I Install Rubber Bumpers on the Front Side of the Reece # RP30047 5th Wheel HitchThe rear bumpers on the on the Reese # RP30047 5th Wheel Hitch level when hooking your vehicle up to your 5th wheel trailer. These bumpers keep the head from moving too far back past level. The hitch head needs to tilt forward to allow the hitch to couple with the 5th wheel king pin. Installing bumpers on the front of the hitch will not allow your 5th wheel hitch to work properly.
view full answer... - Replacement For Reese 16k Hitch Head That Bolts OnSorry to hear about that, and based on what you are describing, we do have the replacement 16k Reese head, as well as the crossmember head support the head attaches to (the crossmember is what mounts to your slider legs).

view full answer... - Can Draw Tite 16k Hitch be Upgraded to 20k CapacityWe have a replacement head that would fit your Draw Tite 16k fifth wheel hitch with the part # RP58146 but there isn't a 20k hitch head that would fit your hitch and increase it's towing capacity. If you needed to upgrade to a 20k fifth wheel hitch you'd need an all new hitch like with the Reese M5 part # RP30928.

If these are the parts that you are referring to, see last page of instructions item numbers 13,14,15, and 16, then you will be able to repair your head.

We actually carry what you will need packaged together. The Replacement Head with Crossmember, part # RP30047A, is what you will need.

You will also need to upgrade to a different cross member as well to complete the conversion. For this you will want to get a Replacement Head with Crossmember for Reese 5th Wheel Trailer Hitch # RP30047A.

view full answer... - Does Reese 16K Fifth Wheel Hitch Have Two SpringsThe 16K Reese 5th Wheel Trailer Hitch # RP30047 uses two Springs # 30776 though only one goes to the the (discontinued) Jaws 58056. As you can see in the accompanying diagram, one of the springs goes from one side of the hitch jaws to the other. The side of the spring with the longer hook will attach to a pivot point on the flat rod closest to the jaws. The spring will then go the other side of the jaws and attach to a point just beyond the jaws. The other spring will attach to the handle...

Another kit is part # 30583. This includes the hex bolts, standard pins and clips, and the rubber bumpers which prevent the head from hitting the hitch body.
view full answer... - Troubleshooting Reese 16k 5th Wheel Hitch Connection Issue with Custom Sidewinder WedgeThe Reese 16 K head # RP58146 will use the Sidewinder Wedge Kit for Pro Series 15K, 16K & 20K (2009 and newer) # 30850. This custom wedge will give you a precise fit, but you should not be needing to spend so much time to get the jaws to lock. That would absolutely drive anyone crazy, so I'm sorry that is what you are experiencing. I recommend removing the wedge to see if you still are having trouble without the custom wedge. If so that would indicate a hitch head issue versus a wedge...
