Most Popular Above Bed Rails for 2017 Ram 2500

I have owned this unit for over a year now. Here are the pro's and cons that I have experienced. Pro- I have pulled with this hitch in some really tight spaces in forward and reverse and still have the rear window in tact. Con- Heavy, really heavy. Pro- heavy duty,smooth riding, and double jaw lock makes a great connection. Con- manufacturer recommends 1/8 of separation between the slides on the top of hitch. When backing upon 40' wheeler in some tight spaces it is hard to align without opening the slides a bit more. This is not he issue. Remembering to tighten them in the rush of leaving is the hard part. Pro- once you are attached to your truck there is nothing more you need to worry about until you disconnect. Con- If you are a weekender like me and use your truck for work the rest of the week, you will need at least one person to help lift in or out pre or post travel. Works pretty well with gantry crane.

I installed this hitch myself with the help of a friend. Works perfectly.

The products are good. however due to your web page shutting down in the middle of the ordering process, when it came back up the cart showed empty so I ordered the hitch. When it stated there were two items in the cart, I assumed that the installation kit was also ordered. Unfortunately, it wasn't until I received the notice of shipping that I realized the order had been placed for two hitches. I contacted your customer service and explained what happened and was told that since the order had already shipped, there was nothing that he could do. (He did state that if I refused delivery of one of the hitches I would be charged shipping both ways for the one hitch($590), I said that this did not seem fair.

Easy to install and easy to connect to trailer hitch. Ride is smooth when hooked up and the extender is easy to manipulate when connected. A well built piece of machinery I would buy again.

Had a set back on the shipment, but the service and responded was some of the best I've ran across. The equipment came before the give delivery date. Everything was in great condition, good communication.

I think that etrailer requires their employees to lie so as not to have any confrontations with customers on the phone. I placed two orders on 8/23 and immediately received followup emails that order received, order processed by (employee name) and then is in stock with associated time each step completed. Then I noticed that shipping date kept getting 1 day later each day I checked order status. So, I contacted etrailer on day 5, 8/27 and find out my item was not in stock at all and would not be until mid Oct. Well,I then had them order me the same part by a different manufacturer and was told that it was in stock and would still be still be shipped 8/28 and delivered on 8/30, the same day my fifth wheel hitch is being delivered, so everything seemed rectified until I checked order status online the evening of 8/28 and find that the ship date again had been pushed back another day 8/29 with a delivery date of 9/1, (which is a Sunday). Seems that at this rate I may have it sometime in September. Going by their assurance of delivery on 8/30, I arranged to pickup my new camper on 9/5, that seems to be an impossibility at this time because Order #121389499 the installation kit with base rails is a very necessary part of the assembly. So, in closing I can only say that if you do not have the parts to ship, be honest and state the truth. This has made me feel very negative now toward etrailor as I already had become with Camping World. Is there any honesty in the RV parts aftermarket?

Great fit and finish on the hitch. The mounting rails were perfect for my truck and the video of installation on the website was spot on. The package arrived really quickly and it was all in great shape. I don't know how it could be any better! If I could rate it 6 stars I would!

Great product, even better customer service, fast shipping, and a great price, installation was easy about 20 minutes, mounted on Reese mounting plate also from etrailer.

Quick delivery hitch required minor assembly it was open box but looked like new. Works great very pleased with purchase.

I needed this in a hurry and it was here in 3 days.very happy

Happy

After opening the box and removed the contents the lower bracket which the hitch is secured to isn't provided. Must I order it separately?let me know as I need to have it installed. Thanks

Great hitch, very impressed with shipping and communication with etrailer.

I HAVE ORDERED 5 PRODUCTS FROM E-TRAILER AND HAVE BEEN VERY SATISFIED WITH ALL OF THEM, ALL TO DO WITH MY CAMPER, TIRES,OUT DOOR CARPET,CURT FIFTH WHEEL AND MOUNTING BRACKETS, FIFTH WHEEL PIN SUPPORT.

Just got back from a two-week road trip out west, the new trailer hitch performed without a snag! Easy docking and undocking, very nice to have a nice smooth ride. We are very impressed and thankful for an excellent product. The package in which the hitch arrived was in pretty rough shape, but all the pieces arrived. There is one place on the deck itself where it took some scuffing of the paint from whatever it was banged on during shipping. We are going to have to touch up that place to keep it from rusting in the elements. All in all, this was a great buy. Thanks

I have not received my hitch yet ups told me it was damaged and would let you..I called you yesterday to have you reship it I will give you a review when I get my hitch

Wore out one RP30047 and bought a hitch with slide bar. bad mistake. bought another RP30047. Can't ask for better service. Easy hookup on level ground or on unlevel ground.

Good quality. No movement of pin like our old hitch when braking and starting. Had a couple missing bolts in the kit as the cardboard box was thrashed when we got it. Called etrailer and they sent us a kit right away.

I just put the Q24 in today it is a very quality hitch. everything went very smooth, It replaced a slide bar hitch that came out of the top of the hitch. I can see that this Q24 will not do that. Very well made and made in the USA, i like that.

Received the hitch within 2 days of ordering. All the parts were there. Assembled it in an hour. Have not towed with it yet but I'm very impressed with how it looks. Upgrading from an old slide bar.

Nice kit. Came with everything I needed to install.

We have the turning point pin on our rig so we had to get a wedge. I don't know if it was the wedge or the hitch but unless we were perfectly straight and level, we couldn't hitch up. Same with unhitching. After the 3rd time of not being able to unhitch without taking the entire head of the hitch off, we locked up the turning point and got a new hitch and do not use a wedge. Also, with only a bar going across, the pin seemed to wiggle around a lot.

Parts arrived for the DM 8550043, received only the hitch base plate and adjustable shaft for the hitch head. Have been told that the hitch head is shipped separately. Now have a problem with the hitch plate fitting the bed rails. The holes for the pin that secures the hitch plate to the rails are to close to the bottom of the hitch plate photos are given of the problem a pencil was used for reference. There is NO WAY the pin will go through the rail and hitch plate. Waiting on a solution from etrailer. The hole that you can barely see the pencil is tailgate rails pin fits fine.

etrailer got it to me 2 days they r great. The hitch seems very solid and put together well. The issue I'm having is it doesn't adjust down to the height I need to ride level or what my Reese was. Haven't hooked up yet but will find out shortly if it needs to be returned.

The first shipment had wrong parts shipped with four slide mounts that were damaged (loose foot, gouges, damaged label, etc.) and no header or cross bar. The second replacement shipment had missing bolt, pin, and rubber parts from an obvious previous return where the customer had cut open the parts bag and the parts were all loose in the box with some going out the holes during shipment. The header and cross beam were also gouged and scraped up. The boxes that were in really poor condition heavily taped, holes, and falling apart - obvious returns instead of a new hitch we were buying.

GREAT GREAT GREAT EXPERIENCE AND EVERYTHING THAT GOES WITH THIS WEB SITE.....PRODUCT TO PRICING TO SERVICE.....

I have ran a cheap competitor hitch for several years. A manufacturing defect (welded pivot pin) caused the hitch to fail and resulted in 18000$ damage to my truck and trailer. I chose the Curt 25000# hitch after much research and found it to be very well made and clearly shows when it is properly coupled. It is quiet and operates with minimal klunking and chunking going down the road. Overall I am very pleased.

Install was easy and the hitch performs perfectly. I have ZERO complaints. Even a year later, it performs great.

Shipping was extremely fast and all the extra information that can with the products I purchased made the entire experience that I would return for and refer friends to.

Just received yesterday, will be having it installed on Monday and will be pulling my new camper home next Saturday. Will update afterwards with pics
