Most Popular Fifth Wheel Installation Kit for 2001 Dodge Ram Pickup

Arrived as scheduled, UPS driver delivered Ram Oem Adapter For Above-bed 5th Wheel Hitches (RP30154) right to my 2016, 2500 4x4, RAM truck where I unpackaged & installed in less than an hour. Took me a few hours longer to place, attach and adjust the Reese 16K hitch to the proper height. The 4x4 height required the hitch to be lowered. Fantastic pre sales support aided in the proper selection & order at a reduced cost.

The base arrived in a timely manner as it was delivered over a holiday weekend. I couldn’t have asked for a faster time if I wanted it. The box was literally ripped apart and I’m assuming somewhere between etrailer and my house the workers just didn’t care. Installation of the base was as easy as it could be. Fit right into my 2018 Ram Pucks without any issues. I was actually surprised how easy it was. I think it was harder to put the end caps in and all they needed was a little tap. This is why I am giving it a 4 star and not a five star. I have a B&W bitch as you can see in the picture. Once it was in the slots there was absolutely no play at all. Fit like a glove. The problem came with the left hand side holes for the bolts and or pins to go in. The holes were drilled at a slight angle and were offset from each other. The bolt slid in and through the hitch holes but not out the other side. I ended up having to drill the holes out and snapped a bit in doing so, but once that was done the hitch was bolted down and I couldn’t be happier. I’m not sure if Reese had an issue the day mine was made but not a big deal. etrailer got me the base quick and I’m happy they carried this product because I love my Fifth wheel hitch and would have been upset if I had to Pay $xx.xx instead of what I payed for this. I highly recommend this for anyone who may be converting from a bolted rail system to the Puck system.

Needed this kit quick for 800 mile trip to PA where I was to purchase our 5th wheel toyhauler and drive back to TN. Lisa D from Etrailer assisted. Actually she spent a lot of time making sure part would be correct fitment and arrive on time. She hit the mark and plan went down splendidly. Quality of kit is very heavy duty and well built. The only thing odd was from Curt. Their videos and advice of installation were kind of weird since they have you drilling holes in truck bed then checking to see if hardware matched up. Not me, I measured several times and got all the holes right first time around. It’s a solid setup for my Ram 2500 that’s capable of pulling more than my truck can handle. Exhaust hanger on my truck rubs the bracket just a bit but could be ground down if I was concerned. Thanks Lisa D. for sticking through my order and getting it right all for a relatively small purchase. My family and I will be safer for your recommendations. Take Care.

Stacey was an awesome help on the phone product was exactly what I had expected, installation was time consuming but worked out great thank you Stacey thank you etrailer be using you all again

This kit works well for transfering existing hitch and rails to new/used vehicle.

It was great to be able to adapt the 16K hitch purchased just a couple of years age for my Dodge Ram pickup to my new Ford F250. The brackets used the existing frame mounts and no holes had to be drilled in the frame. It was a bit of work to drill the bed floor holes, but the kit came with accurate instructions and the plastic galvanic corrosion protection and all mounting bolts for the aluminum body. Extra work required because the full plastic bed liner had to be notched so the tracks would bolt directly to the bed.
