Forged, Self-Latching Jaw
The one-piece jaw on this fifth-wheel hitch provides absolute security with its wraparound design. Increased jaw-to-king-pin contact results in not only a stronger connection, but less noisy rattling and stiff chucking as well.
The jaw is also always ready to receive, so you don't need to use the handle to open it before backing up toward your trailer. As long as the bail pin is removed from the latching handle, the jaw will accept the king pin as it enters the hitch.
Finally, the jaw is self-latching, so it will automatically secure your trailer's king pin when it moves into the jaw.
Quiet, Comfortable Ride
In addition to the tight jaw tolerance, a close connection between the head and the pivot bushings further reduces rattle and movement. And because the pivot bushings are independent from the head, they can be tightened to ensure a strong connection over time.
King Pin Indicator Prevents High Pinning
This M5 hitch features a built-in king pin indicator to ensure proper hookup. This indicator is located on the back of the head along with a V-shaped notch that are both visible from the cab of your truck. The V-notch is lined up with the jaw at the front of the hitch, and can be used as a guiding point to line the king pin up with the jaw as you back up your truck. The jaw also has an internal plate that keeps the king pin from entering if it is too high to enter safely. As a result, the king pin indicator will only change from red to green if the king pin is fully engaged in the jaw.
Easy-to-Use Latching Handle
This hitch's handle is designed for smooth motion and effortless operation. It requires only 2 fingers to use and won't bind up as you pull. In addition, the handle is long, so it's easy to access from outside of your truck bed. And the ergonomic grip makes it comfortable to hold and pull from different angles.

Heavy-duty 5th-wheel hitch has a 1-piece, wraparound jaw and easy-to-see lock indicator for maximum safety and security. Fully articulating head with large landing area and kingpin target make hookup a snap.by: Russ H.03/26/2022
Tried to install this on a 2001 Chevy Silverado 3500, dual rear wheel, long bed, 4x4, diesel engine truck. The clamp style mounting simply does not work. The ONLY way I can see this working is by drilling added holes in the frame of the truck at the front end of the side plates. This is because of a bend in the frame at the clamp location. Also at this location the frame is boxed in and any bolt holes will be hidden. Bolts would have to fished in with bolt wires.

I am very pleased with my purchase of the Reese M5, a major improvement over my old receiver. Great service from etrailer as well.

Still works good, but every once in a while it dosent want to latch around the kingpin.
by: Pattie01/27/2022
I love it. It’s very easy for me to setup. The only issue i had was rge breakout away cable snapped in have and i was not able to find a replacement. I had a friend who was able to make me another one.
by: Jeffrey09/28/2021
Great product, shipped in really good time, etrailer was excellent in communication, only small problem was package was damaged in transit, and my item had some pretty bad scratches on it. But when I notified etrailer of this they gave me a choice of shipping it back in exchange for a new one or giving me a nice credit back if I could live with the scratches. I choose the latter and I thought it was great that they gave me the choice.
by: Cindy12/27/2021
I had to return this hitch as it was unusable due to manufacturing defects. etrailer honored the return and refunded me completely.
by: Jorge08/12/2022
Great quality, worked perfect and easy to use. I was so happy with it that I transferred it to my new vehicle. I would recommend this to a friend.

Great hitch. Easy to use and pulls my 40ft rig like a champion!
by: Robert V06/10/2023
The order before I received this one, I do not understand why you would ship two products that would not work together although I ordered them wrong, with out letting me know before it was shipped. I didn't know that my order was wrong until I went to install it in my truck. It cost me time and money.

There where parts missing.

I see our customer service team is working on sending you the missing parts, but I am sorry you are having to go through all this when it should have all been delivered together. Thanks for giving us the chance to make it right.
by: Steven01/02/2023
This went well also. Only thing that could have been better is the grease (lube) information. To this day, I still don't know what parts to lubricate or where or with what.
Katrina B.
1/17/2023
Well that would be some good information to know! I am getting that added to our site for future reference. You will need to use engine oil to lubricate pivot points of moving parts within the hitch.
by: James08/29/2022
Easy install, visual confirmation pin is locked into 5th Wheel, and no more chucking when pulling trailer.
by: Kyle 12/08/2021
Always polite and know exactly what you need for your application. Tim was a pleasure to work with.

I've only just got it installed and as of yet have not tested it under load. Hope to pick-up and tow my RV back home this weekend. I will update My review when I return.

2 of the 3 boxes arived the day before it was scheduled to arrive. The 3rd box arrived the next day as scheduled. The qr code on the head did not work, it took me to a 404 error page on the Reese site.

See what our Experts say about this Reese Fifth Wheel Hitch
- Is a Custom Install Kit Available for a 2010 Dodge Ram 1500 Quad Cab 6 Foot BedYes, we have the Reese Quick-Install Custom Base Rails and Installation Kit, item # RP50142-58 for use on the 2010 Dodge 1500 quad cab models. Since your Heartland Sundance XLT 264 MODEL 245RL, is linked by a 5th Airborne Sidewinder you can use a stationary, non-sliding hitch, such as the Reese M5 Fifth Wheel Trailer Hitch - 20,000 lbs, item # RP30928, on your short bed truck.
view full answer... - What Parts Are Needed or Recommended for Putting a Fifth Wheel Hitch on a 2008 Nissan Titan 8FT BedFor your 2008 Nissan Titan, I would suggest the Reese Semi-Custom Install kit, part # RP30035-405. This kit has all the hardware you will need to get the truck set up for a traditional bed rail fifth wheel hitch. I have added links to the instructions as well. Reese 16K Fifth Wheel, part # RP30051 is a fifth wheel equipped with a slider, which you will not need since you have a full 8 foot bed. Instead I would recommend Reese part # RP30047. It is the same as 30051 but without the sliders....
view full answer... - Recommended Fixed 5th Wheel Hitch For A 2022 GMC Sierra 2500 With A Short BedThe best 5th wheel hitch for your 2022 GMC Sierra 2500 with the short/standard bed will depend on if you have the factory pucks in the bed or not. If you don't, the Reese M5 5th Wheel Trailer Hitch - Single Jaw - 20,000 lbs # RP30928 and Rail Kit # RP30035-522 would be a great option. Now if you do have the factory pucks in your bed, I highly recommend the B&W Companion OEM 5th Wheel Hitch # BWRVK3715. This is American made and also rated up to 25,000 pounds. This will also secure into...
view full answer... - 5th Wheel Base Rail Kit Recommendation For a 2012 Dodge Ram 3500The base rail kit that I would recommend for your 2012 Dodge Ram 3500 is the Reese Custom Fifth Wheel Installation Kit, # RP50140-58. This kit includes the same base rails that you mentioned, but also comes with brackets that were custom designed to fit your truck whether it has an 8 ft bed or a 6 ft bed. The base rails included in this kit will accommodate Reese, Curt, Valley and Husky fifth wheel hitches that use standard rails. These rails will not work with Reese Elite Series or Valley...
view full answer... - Andersen Ultimate Connection 5th Wheel Trailer Hitch & Lippert Turning Point or Sidewinder Pin BoxThe Andersen Ultimate Connection 5th Wheel Trailer Hitch System, # AM3200, has specs that state "Will not fit beds shorter than 6'." In addition, this hitch should be used with only fixed pin boxes, so your Lippert Turning Point or an equivalent pin box, such as the Sidewinder can not be used with this hitch. Consider the Reese 5th Wheel Trailer Hitch, # RP30047 for 16,000 lbs. Or the # RP30928 for 20K.
view full answer... - Pin Box And 5th Wheel Hitch Upgrade For 2019 Ram 3500I called Lippert and found out your pinbox is a 1621. So the Reese Sidewinder 5th Wheel King Pin with Rotating Turret - 20,000 lbs # RP34FR will be the replacement you need if you want to go with a rotating turret. Because you have the RAM box the sidewinder is the only option for you. A gooseneck or a slider will not work with RAM boxes. I would pair it with the Reese M5 5th Wheel Trailer Hitch - Single Jaw - 20,000 lbs # RP30928 it can raise up to 18 inches. It will work with your rails...
view full answer... - Compatibility of 20K Reese M5 5th Wheel Hitch w/ 5th Wheel Rails From Reese 16KBase rails are industry-standard and designed to handle the limits of the any standard 5th wheel hitch so your current base rails are 100 percent compatible with the 20,000 lb Reese hitch you asked about: - Reese M5 5th Wheel Hitch # RP30928
view full answer... - Availability Of Replacement Head Unit For A Discontinued Reese Elite RE18 Fifth Wheel HitchHello Stephanie, unfortunately the Reese Elite RE18 has been discontinued. The replacement head unit # 58292 has also been discontinued and is no longer available. We sold our last one back in 2021. Since replacement parts are not available, I am afraid that at this point we would have to recommend replacing the hitch entirely. Reese now makes the M5 Fifth Wheel Hitch like part # RP30928, which is rated for 20,000 lbs and will fit in the industry standard fifth wheel rails.
view full answer... - Recommendation For What 5th Wheel/Sidewinder Combination Will Fit 2012 Dodge Ram 1500 5-1/2ft BedBecause your 2012 Dodge Ram has a 5-1/2 ft bed, in order to tow a camper you will need to have a 5th wheel hitch as well as a Sidewinder installed. A sliding 5th wheel hitch has a 12 inch clearance when in the tow position and can interfere with your tailgate. The Sidewinder has a 22 inch clearance when in the tow position and when used in combination with a stationary 5th wheel hitch will not interfere with your tailgate and will enable you to make sharp turns. The formula to calculate...
view full answer... - Recommended 5th Wheel Hitch for 2020 Ram 2500 Long Bed without Prep Package For your 2020 Ram 2500 long bed I highly recommend the Reese M5 5th Wheel Hitch # RP30928 along with the Custom Installation Kit # RP50054-58 for mounting. The Reese M5 not only features a robust single-piece jaw that will provide a superior connection with the trailer and a smooth, quiet ride during travel, but it also uses a unique design that keeps it always ready to receive the king pin on your trailer. This means you won't have to physically release or open the jaws every time you're...
view full answer... - Cushioned Pin Box For 2012 Voltage 3950 RV and 20k Reese Fifth Wheel HitchAs long as your 2012 Voltage 3950 RV has a Lippert 1621 pin box on it already the Flex Air part # LC328492 would fit as a replacement and work well. This was designed to match the height dimensions of the standard 1621 pin box like what you have so it would not add or remove any height. For a 20k Reese hitch that would fit rails of your truck and work well the Reese M5 part # RP30928 would be a great option. It has a single hook jaw that holds the king pin very tight which will also help...
view full answer... - 5th Wheel Rail Kit for 2019 Ram 1500 RebelI checked with Reese and the correct custom frame brackets for 5th wheel base rails on your 2019 Ram 1500 Rebel is the part # RP56018. These brackets do require 48" wide base rails and for the complete kit including both the brackets and rails you can use part # RP56018-53. The # RP50142 bracket kit that you referenced is only a fit on the Ram up through the 2018 model year so they won't work on your 2019 model. Since your Rebel has a 5-1/2 foot bed the only way to tow a 5th wheel trailer...
view full answer... - Can Reese Fifth Wheel Rail Kit RP30033 be Used with Ford OEM Rail Kit of Ford F-350To use the Reese fifth wheel hitch part # RP30928 in the bed of a Ford truck with the OEM rail kit you'd also need the Ford rail kit adapter part # RP30156.
view full answer... - What is Towing Capacity of 2016 Ram 2500 Diesel Long Bed Crew CabI believe you may have the gear ratio incorrect for your 2016 Dodge Ram 2500 diesel. I found the Ram truck towing guide for the 2016 trucks and the diesel versions of your truck have the 3.42 gear ratio and the 3.73 is for versions with the Hemi. So based on the other factors mentioned it looks like your capacity is 17,370 lbs total trailer weight. So to use the Reese fifth wheel rail kit part # RP30928 that you referenced you just need a rail kit like the Reese Custom Rail Kit # RP50054-58...
view full answer... - 5th Wheel Hitch Compatibility with Industry Standard 5th Wheel Base RailsThe Reese M5 5th Wheel Trailer Hitch - Single Jaw - 20,000 lbs # RP30928 will fit on the same 5th wheel rails as your Pro Series 15K hitch. Reese and Pro Series are made by the same company and will use the same location on your base rails. I've attached a photo to assist. This hitch will work well with your 2015 Ford F-350 long bed. If you need new rails, I recommend the Reese Quick-Install Custom Base Rails and Installation Kit for 5th Wheel Trailer Hitches # RP50026-58 which are...

- Recommended 5th Wheel Hitch & Base Rails for Revolution Pin Box for 2017 Chevy 2500For your 2017 Chevy Silverado 2500 short bed, I recommend the Reese Quick-Install Custom Base Rails and Outboard Installation Kit for 5th Wheel Trailer Hitches # RP56001-53. This is custom fit that won't require drilling into the frame and is an easier install due to the outboard brackets. For the hitch to go with your Revolution pin box, I recommend the Reese M5 5th Wheel Trailer Hitch # RP30928; you will have a great towing experience with this hitch and your Revolution pin box. You...
view full answer... - Recommended 5th Wheel Hitch For Towing Grand Design Reflection 150 With 2016 Chevy Silverado 2500I have another option for you, but since the Grand Design Reflection 150 Series you are looking at has a rotating pin box you will not be able to use the Andersen Ultimate Connection 5th Wheel Trailer Hitch System with Adapter - 20,000 lbs # AM3200 you mentioned. Instead you will need a fixed hitch like the Reese M5 Fifth Wheel Hitch # RP30928 and Installation Kit # RP56001-53 since your truck does not have the OEM prep package. I included videos for each of the products mentioned for...
view full answer... - Differences Between a Reese Sidewinder and Revolution on a 5th Wheel Trailer and 2012 Ford F-150A Sidewinder and a Revolution are the same thing. It is called a Revolution when it comes as OEM equipment on a trailer. There are some design differences as well in terms of how each attaches to the trailer. Those are the only differences. To determine if the Revolution offers enough extra clearance for your truck and trailer, there are some measurements to look at. First, measure from the center of the hitch jaws to the back of the truck cab and add 22 inches (length of Revolution extension)....
view full answer... - Can I Use an Andersen Ultimate Hitch with a Reese SidewinderI have a solution for you, but the Andersen Ultimate Hitch # AM3200 is not compatible with a Reese Sidewinder like the # RP34FR, or any other rotating pin box. The Reese Sidewinder cannot be used with any Gooseneck Adapters because they do not offer a secure enough mounting point with the gooseneck ball and you do not want two pivot points in your towing setup. If you want to use a Reese Sidewinder, you will need to use a standard fixed 5th wheel hitch. If you've got the OEM prep package,...

Towing a 5th wheel trailer with your Ram 3500 will be difficult because of the tight bed space with the Ramboxes but it is possible. You will need a 5th wheel hitch, a set of industry standard rails, and a sidewinder pin box. A sliding hitch will not work. For the base rails you will want the Curt Custom Fifth Wheel Installation Kit item # C16430-204. This rail kit is custom fit and installs in predrilled holes in your Ram's frame. This kit has shorter rails...

- Reese M5 5th Wheel Trailer Hitch Will Not Stay Open with Handle Locked in Open PositionIf your Reese M5 5th Wheel Trailer Hitch, # RP30928 is not staying in the open, there could be something blocking the internals of your hitch. Usually this means there is some dirt and grime that got mixed up with the grease used to lubricate the mechanism. If you take just the head off and flip it over you might be able to see this more clearly. If you clean off the old grease and reapply some new grease that could be all you need.
view full answer... - Fifth Wheel Rail Kit Recommendation for 2016 GMC Sierra 2500You'd want to go with a custom install fifth wheel rail kit for your 2016 GMC Sierra 2500 like the # RP50066-58 which has been confirmed as a fit. The custom kits will minimize drilling and install time when compared to universal kits so they are the way to go. This would work well with the Andersen Ultimate Connection part # AM3200 that you mentioned too.
view full answer... - 5th Wheel Rails and Hitch for a 2017 Ford F-150 w/ 5.5' BedIt is not ideal to tow a 5th wheel trailer with a truck that has a 5.5' bed, this has to do with clearance issues. That being said, the only way to make this work is with a fixed hitch and a rotating pin box like a Sidewinder. This will require you to change the pin box on your Winnebago Micro Minnie 2405RG if you do not already have a rotating pin box. For your 2017 Ford F-150, I recommend the Reese Quick-Install Custom Installation Kit w/ Base Rails for 5th Wheel Trailer Hitches # RP50087-58...

I recommend taking a look at the: -Reese M5 5th Wheel Trailer Hitch # RP30928 with the Reese Semi-Custom Base Rail and Installation Kit # RP30035-522 if you do not have the factory prep package.
