Fifth-wheel trailer hitch provides excellent jaw-to-king-pin contact with a 2-jaw latching system. Non-binding, round-tube slider helps to eliminate clearance concerns during slow-speed turns. Rails and installation kit sold separately.
Features:
- 2-Jaw locking system provides more jaw-to-king-pin contact than slide-bar models
- Less rattle
- Greater security
- Round-tube slider provides clearance required for your short-bed pickup to turn safely at slow speeds
- Prevents trailer from hitting the cab of your pickup during sharp, slow-speed turns
- Inhibits binding and provides smooth operation
- 4-Way pivoting head eases hookup on unlevel ground
- 3" Height adjustment
- Wide stance offers excellent stability
- Black powder coat finish resists corrosion
- Locking handle has cushioned grip
- Above-bed rails and mounting kit sold separately
- Fits Curt, Valley, Draw-Tite, Hidden-Hitch and Reese base rails
- Cut installation time in half by using a vehicle-specific bracket kit instead of the universal kit
Specs:
- Gross towing weight: 16,000 lbs
- Vertical load limit: 4,000 lbs
- Installed hitch height (including rails): 15" - 18"
- Travel: 11" front to back
- 5-Year limited warranty
Note: This fifth-wheel trailer hitch will not fit pickups with beds shorter than 6'. It also will not fit trucks with flareside/stepside bed. A minimum 13" extended trailer pin box is recommended. If using a slider, hitch will not adjust to lowest height setting.
Secure, 2-Piece Jaw
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.
Round-Tube Slider
Most often used on trucks with 6' beds, this roller helps to eliminate clearance problems during slow-speed turns. When you are towing a fifth-wheel trailer, your hitch must be situated on the cab side of your truck's rear axle. However, at slow speeds you can use a roller to slide the fifth-wheel hitch (and the trailer) toward your truck's tailgate and past the rear axle, creating enough space between the cab of your truck and the trailer to permit less-restricted turning.

Worked perfectly for my application, installation was easy and it has worked with no issues.

Excellent quality products from Reese along with great service and pricing from e-trailer. I did run into some availability issues from the manufacturer with my initial order but Kelsey informed me quickly so we could modify my order. My order was shipped very promptly as promised. Thank you Kelsey for the amazing customer service!

once i finally got the bottom platform to fit it went together quite well. It is really heavy for a 74 year old to wrestle around but i have a 40 year old son to help. Have never had to slide it back to back the fifth wheel up but have not had any close quarters to deal with. I would imagine that one of these made out of aluminum would be really expensive and probably not as strong.
by: E.P.08/22/2017
Installation went as printed, took two of us 4 hrs. instead of 2, but I am a perfection freak, centered within 1/32" . Have not used it yet, but will be shortly. Installed to specs provided. Will purchase next hitch from etrailer, Did not call for help, but good to know they were there if needed.
by: Josh S. 10/31/2016
Product is as it was described. Straight forward installation. Only problem I had was minor shipping damage. The ear of the 5th wheel plate was bent from it being dropped I would guess. Better packaging would've solved this...

This product gets a three based on shipping condition only. etrailer customer service and shipping time was excellent as usual. The shipment arrived 2 days after the order was placed, as promised. However, as others have noted, the product packing is poor. The boxes arrived with significant damage resulting in cosmetic damage to several parts. I haven't put the hitch to use yet but I am assuming it will work correctly. I will leave a followup after I use it.

Arrived yesterday, box with hitch was broken, UPS driver said he taped it up. All parts look good. Plastic bag with small parts was torn open, 2 small parts missing, I can get them locally. I understand that there heavy Just need to be packaged better. Otherwise all ok.
by: Joe01/04/2024
The hitch arrived nicely packed in two boxes. Very easy to assemble and install on my existing bed rails. I took the RV out for a first run with the hitch, and it performed as advertised. It was a no fuss transaction and the hitch arrived on-time!

I damage my old hitch on Wednesday and ordered this one and it came very fast had it in on Saturday afternoon and was able to make my east bound trip.
As always etrailer came through for me again. Thank You

Ordered this hitch for my 2014 Chevy,it came in two boxes and was put together on the work bench in no time at all. and I also ordered the custom rail kit RP50064-58. Just in time for summer camping.
by: Matthew06/26/2023
Love the hitch. Hooks up easily and solid. Gives plenty of clearance. Only downside is it’s very noisy and you really feel the trailer. But for the price and weight it’s still 5 stars. Going to go up to a highway payload truck and will be getting the B&W companion for that. Not a reflection of the performance of this hitch though
by: Tom09/30/2020
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!!
by: Bob08/09/2021
The first hitch arrived damaged in shipping. The dent was minor but it was on the receiver plate so I asked to return it.
A lot of vendors would have pushed back on an 89 pound box being sent back but the etrailer team set up the return and shipment of the new hitch. No problem.
The new hitch arrived in good shape this afternoon. It took me about a half hour to install with normal tools and a torque wrench. Directions were clear, the parts fit, and I appreciate having the knowledgeable people at etrailer to fall back on.
There are a lot of things owners can fix themselves with the support of quality products, knowledge, and great customer service etrailer delivers.
by: Joe H.03/31/2019
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.
by: Ralph07/08/2020
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
by: Danny 06/30/2023
I've used this hitch in an 08 f250 and a 15 ram 2500. All I had to do was purchase a set of frame brackets. The fact this hitch can be easily moved among tricks is great. Easy hitching and unhitching. Easy to use. Easily adjust heights. And the slide option being available is great.
by: Ken E.01/22/2017
I purchased the Reese dual jaw slider and install bracket kit. Everything arrived in three days in perfect condition. After watching the install video and reviewing the enclosed instructions I installed the assembly myself. It took approximately 4 hours . As you can see I also did additional steps, cutting the rubber bed mat to fit around the rails. Also undercoating the brackets to blend in the wheel wells. Etrailer is definitely the place to go for all your RV needs.
by: Marcus03/31/2022
Because it was a new model truck, finding the right hitch became a challenge. etrailer was very helpful in sorting it out. 4,000 miles later we are happy campers

See what our Experts say about this Reese Fifth Wheel Hitch
- Can Reese 16k Hitch Head Fit on Square Tube Slider BaseI found the older question you referenced and yes, you could install a Reese 5th Wheel Trailer Hitch Head # # RP30047A onto the Reese Round Tube Slider for 5th Wheel Trailer Hitches # RP50024 and you'd have a slider hitch. These two parts together would essentially give you a # RP30075.
view full answer... - Travel and Cab Clearence with 16K Rated Reese 5th Wheel Trailer Hitch w/ Round Tube Slider The Reese 5th Wheel Trailer Hitch w/ Round Tube Slider, # RP30075 has 11" front to back travel. If you do not have a pin box with at least 13" of reach there is concern you will not have enough cab clearance in turning. This is a 16K rated hitch and therefore considered by many with a smaller 5th wheel RV. Reese has this comment listed on other hitches as well, they just want to ensure you have enough clearance for turning. This is also why it is identified as not for use with a truck...
view full answer... - Converting Reese 16K Round Tube Slider Hitch to Stationary BaseIf your Reese 16K slider hitch is part # RP30075 then you can indeed use fixed leg kit # RP30727 to convert it to a stationary hitch and save a bit of weight. If you have the Reese Titan series 16K hitch RP30869 then the correct fixed leg kit is part # RP58449. I confirmed the compatibility of these two kits with the above-referenced hitches with my technical contact at Reese.

However, not all of them with the 3.6L V6 engine have this high of a towing capacity as the figures will vary depending on cab type, bed size, drive type etc. If you take the gross vehicle weight rating (GVWR) and subtract that from the gross combined weight rating (GCWR) which are both found on the white info sticker in your door jamb that will then tell you...
view full answer... - 5th Wheel Trailer Hitch Recommendation for a 2004 Dodge Ram 2500 Short BedFor a 5th wheel trailer hitch, it really depends on what features you want and how much the trailer weighs. If you will be needing to use the bed when not towing the trailer and want an underbed mount, you would use # RP30074. Then you could use the B&W Companion hitch, 20K, # BWRVK3370. If you want to go with above the bed rails and a hitch that is more economical, I recommend the Reese 16K, # RP30075, and installation kit # RP50140-58. I have included some instruction links for you....
view full answer... - how Does a 5th Wheel Trailer Hitch Install on a 2000 Dodge RamNot exactly. The hitch sits in rails (in most cases). These rails sit above the bed and the hitch is held to them with pins. The rails are bolted through the bed to brackets that are bolted to the frame rails of the truck. If the hitch were bolted to the bed alone attempting to tow a 5th wheel trailer would result in loss of truck bed. For your 2000 Dodge Ram, with a 6 or 8 foot bed you can use the universal installation kit you have referenced # RP30035. I have included a link to the...
view full answer... - Best 5th Wheel Hitch Recommendation for a 2001 Ford F-250 Short BedFirst you will want to start with a rail kit so that you can install a fifth wheel hitch in the bed of your 2001 Ford F250 short bed. For that you would want a custom install kit to minimize drilling and cut the install time in half. For that you would want the part # RP50082-58. Install video for this attached to the right. Now for a hitch you will want a slider hitch so that you have enough clearance to make sharp turns. One of the nicest slider hitches we offer that would work great...
view full answer... - Where to Mount Fifth Wheel Rail in Bed of 2001 Chevy Silverado 1500To place a set of fifth wheel rails in the bed of your 2001 Chevy Silverado 1500 like the universal rail kit part # RP30035 will require you to set the rear rail edge 25-1/8 inches from the rear truck bed edge. To place the front rail you'd want to then put a hitch like the # RP300928 you mentioned in the rear rail and wherever the hitch places the front rail is where it needs to go.
view full answer... - Recommended Custom 5th Wheel Rail Kit for a 1997 Ford F-150The Reese Quick-Install Custom Installation Kit part # RP50042-58 is what I recommend for a 1997 Ford F-150. It is custom fit kit so there will be no drilling into the frame required. It would then work great with any fifth wheel hitch that uses industry standard mounting like the Reese 5th Wheel Trailer Hitch part # RP30075.
view full answer... - 5th Wheel Trailer Hitch Recommendation for a 2004 F-250 Super Duty Short Bed and Heartland SundanceIn this situation I recommend going with the best hitch for the truck rather than for the trailer if for no other reason than you might one day pull a different trailer with your 2004 Ford F-250, and because it is better to error on the side of caution as the saying goes. You can take some measurements to ensure there will be enough clearance. On your truck, the center of the hitch jaw will be 36 inches from the back of the truck cab. Using this information we can plug it into a formula...
view full answer... - 5th Wheel Trailer Hitch and Installation Kit for a 2012 Chevy Silverado 2500HD Short BedFor a 16K 5th wheel hitch for your 2012 Chevy Silverado 2500 short bed, my top choice is the same hitch you referenced, # RP30075. This hitch uses the round tube slider which offers 12 inches of travel, the most of any slider, for more clearance between truck and trailer. This hitch has been described by my contact at Reese as their workhorse. It has been around for a while and is a very popular hitch. It has a 4 -Way pivoting head and dual jaw design for a secure connection. For an installation...
view full answer... - Comparing 5th Wheel Trailer Hitch Jaw Designs for a Hitch on a 2012 Ford F-250 Short BedThere are a few different jaw types on a 5th wheel hitch. A slide bar can be found on the less expensive hitches like a Pro Series PS30094. A slide bar, while secure, is going to provide the least snug fit and you will notice the king pin making some noise. Next are double jaws and are much more secure and cut down quite a bit on the movement and noise of the king pin. Many Reese, Curt, and other brand mid-level and higher end hitches have the double locking jaw design like # RP30075. The...

The square tube sliders will get the job done but the round ones will just work a bit easier.

It will give you more turning clearance around corners to prevent cab interference.

It may be possible to install a set of fifth wheel base rails in the bed of your 1999 Chevrolet Silverado 2500, however the frame brackets would have to be custom made. If you are not experienced or familiar with this type of work, I recommend going to a custom fabrication shop to have the brackets made and installed. Another issue that you will want...

First is the 20K capacity # RP34FR (shipping weight 205 pounds). If you are anywhere close to 16K I recommend going with the higher capacity Sidewinder to be safe. I have included instruction links for you. You mentioned that you have a short bed. There are 2 short beds for the Ford F-150 for the 2006 model year; a 5-1/2 foot bed (which does require a Sidewinder), and a 6-1/2 foot bed which may only require a slider 5th wheel...
view full answer... - Determining The Correct 5th Wheel Hitch To Buy Based On Trailer Ride Height When measuring the hitch height you'll need to have the trailer level and the measure from the ground to the base of the king pin (pictured below). The trailer measurement minus the truck measurement of 36" that you got will give you the height that your fifth wheel hitch will need to sit at to tow your trailer level. For example, if your truck measurement is 36" and your trailer measurement is 53" then you'll need to have your hitch's height set at 17" for your trailer to ride level. Another...

- What are Standard Rail Dimensions for Fifth Wheel HitchesThere is a line of Demco fifth wheel hitches a while back that uses similar but different mounting slot dimensions like with part # DM6014. Sounds like that's what you have as the B and W # BWRVK2402 is the industry standard rail dimensions like what you see in the attached picture. It would be time for a new slider hitch like the Reese slider # RP30075 since I believe the truck in question is a short bed.

- Recommended Clearance Between Trailer Loft and Truck Bed Rail When 5th Wheel TowingThe ideal clearance between the top of the bed rails on the truck and the bottom of the loft on the trailer is indeed around 6". This will allow for clearance between the truck and trailer during most normal driving encounters such as bumps in the road, steep driveways, etc. In regards to a specific angle, this, I cannot provide as there are several factors at play that would vary for each setup. The best advice I have would be to just use common sense when you are out and about. There's...

Since this is a slider hitch, it is designed for use with short bed trucks. The slider function can move the hitch and king pin 11 inches closer to the tailgate, therefore allowing for more clearance during tight maneuvering. This particular hitch is rated for towing up to 16,000 pounds, and vertical load limit of up to...
view full answer... - Fifth Wheel Trailer Hitch Installation Kit Recommendation for a 2011 Chevy Silverado 3500HDThe main difference between the 4-bolt and 10-bolt Reese 5th wheel rail kits is the amount of hardware used to secure the rails to the brackets, and the amount of time it takes to install them. According to Reese, for universal installation kits, they recommend using the 10-bolt kit as the best option. Some of the custom bracket kits only require a 4 bolt kit because the brackets are custom made to fit the truck frame. For a 2011 Chevy Silverado 3500, I recommend the Reese Quick-Install...

The 2013 Cedar Creek Silverback has those cutouts at the front corners of the overhang that appear to be for short bed trucks. However you still may need a slider hitch to be able to make 90 degree turns. It depends on how wide the trailer is at the cutouts, which is very hard to measure accurately. You would have to measure the width at the apex of one cutout to the apex of the other cutout. The apex in this case would basically be the...

- Fifth Wheel Hitch and Rail Kit for 2016 Toyota Tunda 5.5 ft BedActually a Reese Revolution and a Sidewinder are the exact same thing! One brand is used if it's installed as OEM equipment from the trailer manufacturer (Reese Revolution) and Sidewinder is the aftermarket brand. So you'd need a stationary hitch like the part # RP30075 for your 2016 Toyota Tundra 5.5 foot bed and then a rail kit like the part # RP50084-58 which is as custom install kit that will minimize drilling.

It was not until the last 5 years or so that they gave them a different towing capacity for 5th wheel trailers. Therefore, if the dealer told you that your towing capacity is 12,000 lbs then that will be the heaviest 5th wheel trailer you can tow. However, I would be skeptical that the truck has a 12,000 lb towing capacity as the most well equipped 2002 Dodge Ram 1500 I was able...

I had only one issue with the hitch within the year. The 2-Jaw locking system handle detached from the jaws and I could not disconnect from the camper. After some ingenuity I did get the hitch disconnected. After troubleshooting I found that the E-Clip External Retaining Ring came off allowing the lever to detach from the jaws. I installed a new clip so far so good.
