Reese Quick-Install Custom Installation Kit w/ Base Rails for 5th Wheel Trailer Hitches

The hitch install kit is a good product. It took about six hours to install because my installer had never put this kit on the new Ford with the aluminum box before and he wanted it to be right. There was some issues with the fit on the frame. Little things like welds not ground down and getting it to fit tight to the frame of the truck. He was able to fix all of the issues with out any problems. Just a little longer installation time is needed to insure a proper fit than we expected. Overall, a good product. I would buy this hitch installation kit again, and I do recommend it. 480261

Very easy to install. Measure twice, drill once. I used every piece of galvanic corrosion tape to protect the aluminum bed in the kit, probably could have used a little more. Even though I painted the edge of the holes after drilling, maybe some sort of insulator could be used there also. 543657

The kit arrived within a few days-very happy about that. very easy to install. the directions were clear and pictures good. I went to the trouble of using a sharpie to mark the part numbers on everything before I started just to keep to all straight. I would note that on the 2017 F350 diesel the only problem bolt was on the driver side inline with the DEF tank. long skinny arms with flexible wrist is ideal (not what I have). I would also suggest taping the shims onto the outboard frame brackets to save yourself some frustrations. otherwise they are difficult to get and keep in place, especially on the driver side. the two nuts that go inside the frame tube come on/with a nice handle although a bit light on the wield. here again save yourself and tape the shims on before you try to insert two things into that hole, align and fasten the bolt-by yourself. I used an extension with wobble head and socket to turn the bolt while holding the nut "assembly" in place. I did remove the rear wheels and fender well liner-a must. Lastly, great customer service on the phone. Pleasant and patient answering questions. Wayde C - Montana 356688

Still love the product. Thank you for checking back.

Very happy how soon the product I ordered was at my door step. 3 days after I ordered it. Put the base to my 5th wheel on my 2017 250 diesel sd took me around 5 hrs, would have been faster with 2 people. The base fit my husky 16k prefect when I done torquing all the bolts. Going to use this hitch to pull my 29.5 Durango EZ 1500. 550285

Great rail kit. Fairly simple install. The instructions are easy to follow. I did not have to remove spare or rear wheels to install. Only had to have helper for the two bolts in the third row. Hint, tape the u spacers to the long handle nut that goes inside the bed cross member. I did install rails in my previous truck (seventeen years ago) so I kind of knew what to expect. Frame brackets are a lot better now. 380705

working as expected. should last my lifetime

Would give this item 5 stars except the spacer blocks are extremely difficult to use in certain spots. If the brackets had a way to hold the block it would make the installation much easier and besides the spacer blocks it is easy to install and works great. 638778

Very happy with customer service. The speed of delivery was great. The parts fit perfectly. Many thanks. 636561

Was a breeze to install, fit my 2017 F350 super duty perfect. Was not able to get the product locally but you guys had it in stock And they wonder why we use The Internet. Thank’s again 474533

I have installed a rail system in the past, but was surprised by this one. It's plug and play with pre drilled holes that match your vehicle for less drilling. High quality steel with all the accessories needed to complete the installation. 473739

The product has served we well. We have travelled 14 states and about 15,000 miles pulling out fifth wheel rv with this rail system and no failures. I would say the kit is idiot proof but I was proven wrong. I had to pay a mobile mechanic to install it since I was so busy getting a house ready to sell and he did a few things wrong. He used the wrong bolts in the wrong holes and overtightened and probably didn't use all the spacers correctly since he bent the ribs in the bed of my brand new truck. There wasn't much I could do about it after it was done. It was very hard to find someone willing to even do the install. After all of that, it has still performed flawlessly. 470723

great fast shipping ordered Tuesday and got it Thursday afternoon. Havent install yet but removed from package looked to all be there and packaged nice to prevent damage should get install this weekend thanks will order again 470135

One rail has bow in it to where I have to use a jack to reinstall 5 th wheel, had it checked by dealer and was told holes where off where it comes through the bed 468552

Nice product easy to install with the custom brackets also very fast shipment. 456385

Product was the correct item. Service was excellent. Thank you. 450113

Arrived in 2 days. Very easy to install 446946

Item is as advertised and received when promised. It was easy to install but should have two people so one can be under pickup and one in the bed of the box. Instructions were adequate but I would recommend you enlarge the main drawing to provide an easier to read picture. 440203

Great product! The custom Reese Quick-Install Rails and Installation Kit was as easy as advertised. Only drilling required was through the bed to install the rails. Two people would help the install for the driver side front bolt. 422655

very easy install folks at etrailer was excellent I will buy again from them 406184

Product arrived on time and me and my neighbor install hitch plates in 1 1/2 hrs top notch product 397765

right brackets, fit perfict. Thanks for fast shipping 387449

As it should be. One person install, about 4 hours. With two people, hour to hour& half on a new or pressure cleaned vehicle. 364506

recieved product very fast have not installed yet but will in a WEEK 355577

Product arrived quick and is exactly what I ordered 351232

Adapter plates saved a lot of installation time, they fit like a glove 336671

Took a little time to receive this, due to supplier or just the new model of the truck. ( it did take a couple of months for the bed-bolt socket to become available before I could get the bed liner). Could not find a video for this product installed but the instructions were great and the install went smooth. I did remove the spare and rear wheels. No problems with wires or hoses and the only nut that was close to being hard to get to was driver side front and it was not bad. This was my first install of this type product and my hitch fits better than my previous truck that I had paid to install. Hooked up to my 30' camper, took for a test drive and I'm back in the camping business. Other than the wait, I can't imagine a better deal. 335454

Just what my husband needed and then the easy installation makes it great because he had an accident and can't grip hold of little screws and these screw together without holding both pieces... a very happy customer 322449

I have always had great service from etrailer, have not installed hitch yet but all packaging was in good shape and all parts and hardware are included. If I have any problem I'm sure the people at etrailer will be there as they have been with my orders in the past. 499909

Review from a similar Reese Quick-Install in Fifth Wheel Installation Kit

I agree with the other reviews, allow yourself extra time and patience when installing this kit. It fit perfectly without drilling any holes in my new truck frame. Some of the bolts are near impossible to catch. It took me about 3-4 hours to install. Find someone to help who has skinny arms and long fingers....anyone who has installed this will agree. I am glad I used this instead of the universal "L" brackets, it was well worth the effort. 17953

Review from a similar Reese Quick-Install in Fifth Wheel Installation Kit

I am glad I bought this kit for my 2011 ford f250. It fit really well and went together much easier than the universal kit would have. In my opinion this is a must have when installing a fifth wheel rail kit. Definitely worth the money. 284900

Still holding up great. Never regretted the purchase yet!
