Is this right for you? Product Expert Alexander C says:
Fifth-wheel trailer hitch provides excellent jaw-to-king-pin contact with a 2-jaw latching system. Wide-stance, 1-piece legs are stable and supremely easy to remove. Rails and installation kit sold separately.
Features:
Specs:
Note: This fifth-wheel trailer hitch will not fit pickups with beds shorter than 6' unless used with a Sidewinder. It also will not fit trucks with flareside/stepside bed.
Unlike the more economical slide-bar models, the rounded, 2-piece jaw on this fifth-wheel trailer hitch inhibits rattle and movement by securely wrapping around your trailer's king pin, resulting in easier hookup and a safer, quieter ride.

Fifth-wheel trailer hitch provides excellent jaw-to-king-pin contact with a 2-jaw latching system. Wide-stance, 1-piece legs are stable and supremely easy to remove. Rails and installation kit sold separately.I like the pin being surrounded by the jaws instead of just a bar across the back of the pin. The 16K seems to hold the pin tighter and helping to reduce chucking while towing. I had a slider due to when I bought this last 5th wheel, it was kind of forced onto me saying they couldn't let me leave without a slider with a short bed truck. But after I got home, I ordered a Reece Sidewinder, of which I had one on our first 5th wheel back in 2007. This is my third sidewinder and wouldn't pull without one. The Reece 16K hooks up good and towing without the worry of turning to sharp when getting fuel are days gone by, thanks to these 2 combined together. The first Reece 16k I received had something just not right and I was having a heck of a time trying to hitch up. Sent Nicole here at eTrailer a picture of the jaws a little misaligned. Nicole got back with me quickly and we had a short conversation, and just a few days later I received a replacement head. That's service!!
Nice hitch, relatively easy to assemble & install, took about 1 1/2 hours. Will be trying it out this weekend.
Product is good quality as it appeared --5th wheel itself was not delivered with rest of kit--arrived three days later. Installation easy. Installation kit fits perfect-easy installation. Only variable was I had pre-existing air springs , so I had to mark and drill the frame brackets and install the air springs on the outside of the brackets--no big deal--worked out fine
Hitch arrived well packaged. Easy assembly and it fit right in to my existing rails for the Lil Rocker hitch I was replacing. I haven't towed with it yet but look forward to the security of the jaw clamp over the slide bar.
Pat - 04/15/2021I spent a whole day installing the Reese 16k hitch and custom quick mounting rails in a 2020 F150. Video was great and I advise you to watch it a couple of times before installing. Paper instructions not so good. If you have a 36 gallon fuel tank, I recommend you to do this install on a lift. I do not recommend you to install on your garage floor especially if you are 67 years old, still sore from laying on my back. You must remove spare tire and heat shield. I installed with tires on and very tight working around large fuel tank area. Going on a test drive to see if everything holds together.
This hitch along with the Reese Revolution king pin works flawlessly on our 2019 Sierra with a short bed. People can not believe we pull a 5er and have no cab contact without using a sliding hitch! Robert is the one that turned us on to this arrangement.
The Reese installation kit was great and easy to work with.
Donald G - 04/01/2021The service is superior. I ordered on line on Saturday and it shipped the same day. It arrived the following Thursday. Came in two boxes and took us about a hour to install (the rails were previously installed with the old hitch). Price was very competitive. This is my 3rd purchase from etrailer and won't be my last.
Great fifth wheel hitch for the money. Gives a much smoother ride than my previous Reese than only rotated front to back. The customer service from etrailer was second ton none. I will definitely purchase from these folks again.
shawn c - 08/29/2020The hitch has worked great so far . The only problem Ive had so far is the release arm sticking in the release position when trying to get it to go back in to close the jaws after pulling out from under my fifth wheel. I have had to nearly force it back in to get it to close.
Delivery was fast and packaged well. This is my first 5th wheel hitch and has worked great for me pulling a shorter camper with a long bed 3/4 ton truck. Nice height adjustability to match the truck with the trailer. Good solid feel while pulling.
Looks like this is going to be a perfect fit for what I need to pull my 2011 Rockwood Signature Ultra Lite 8265WS, 5th wheel trailer with the Revolution pin box. Just had it installed & after many years of driving truck with a 5th wheel, I can tell this is a good sturdy 5th wheel & looks good too.
Product arrived as scheduled, boxes were in great shape considering the contents. Installation was straight forward. Around 4 hours to complete due to difficulties of the Toyota chassis. All said and done. I am very pleased with the product and Etrailer. Will order from them again without hesitation. Look forward to towing soon..
Roger - 06/20/2020When I ordered my part (2) packages I just happened to get a very customer focused and knowledgeable person to assist me. Her name is Jaime B. I have ordered from e-trailer in the past ,however I was pleasantly surprised with my service . She actually under promised and over delivered. I like it like that.
Well constructed and great instruction, ship fasted, no damage to the boxes ! The only thing was missing in the package was the cotter pin for the handle!
wade l - 12/19/2020Good product for the price, a little noisier than my previous hitch, but that could be because my old 5th wheel was much lighter. Installation seemed easier according to the instructions, however I got the job done.
The hitch is really doing a great job. It works great and the service was fast
Easy to install, I bought the custom brackets for my Silverado. Easy to hook up to, this is my first fifth wheel hitch and it was really very easy to figure out.
The order came quickly and my husband is very pleased with the 5th wheel hitch. He mounted in the truck and hooked up to our trailer and took it out for a test drive. The hitch works excellently and is just as he wanted.
After getting the rear rail installed, I used the hitch to set the front rail. I worked perfectly. I can remove the hitch without any binding. This was a problem with my old hitch on my old truck that was installed by the service department where I bought my original 5th wheel trailer. This is basically the same hitch as I had before on my old truck and I had no problems with it after towing approximately 37,000 miles over 15 years so I expect that this hitch will give me the same service.
Roger T - 03/03/2017Overall good experience, except the shipping. Not etrailer's fault, UPS separated the packages and the second one to arrive looked like it was drop kicked. The ramp on the plate was bent, and the black coating is cracked but I guess it will still be serviceable. Fit right in place of my prior hitch and I look forward to trying it out soon. Went from a slide bar to the dual jaw hoping to be rid of the chucking during stop and start up.
Henry T - 01/09/2015I always thought reese was an american company but to my suprise their hitches are made in tiwan. Big letdown!!!!!!
Mike L - 04/24/2019 Jim - 04/24/2020Hitch is a strong reliable hitch, always used Reese bumper hitches which are high quality, fifth wheel hitch is of the same quality. Can’t wait till I can use it.
Thanks so much for your fast delivery on my fifthwheel hitch. You have been very helpfull. Thanks again
