Install this heavy-duty hitch on your vehicle so you can hook up and tow your gooseneck trailer. Can also be used to install your Reese Elite Series fifth-wheel trailer hitch. Hitch ball sold separately.Two driver side brackets were sent (missing passenger side bracket) had to modify the driver side bracket to make it fit. By the time we realized the part was wrong we were too deep into the project to send it back and wait for the right piece. Packaging was damaged but that can be expected with heavy items so NBD but all the brackets had a few spots where the paint was chipped.
Outstanding Service and Quality Products
I recently purchased RV trailer towing equipment, and I couldn't be happier with my experience. Their website is user-friendly, and the product selection is impressive. I ordered a Reese under-bed gooseneck hitch, it arrived promptly and exactly as described.
The installation instructions were clear and easy to follow. I highly recommend E-Trailer to anyone in need of reliable RV towing equipment.
This package was received with 2 passenger side brackets and Missing hardware. Called etrailer and The reshipped the hardware and another passenger side bracket. Now 5 days after the truck was taken apart we still can't get it back together to go pick up the camper tomorrow. I did call etrailer again and said we need the drive side bracket it will have a D on it. Maybe I will update this review once we have the right stuff and can get the truck back together.
My hats off to etrailer for their fast shipping. Placed order on Dec. 17 mid morning and had the order on Dec. 19. I installed this on a 2019 Ford F350 SRW. The installation was fairly easy once the bed is removed. Reese says in the direction you will need an EP 24 plus sockets to remove the bed bolts but I had to use an EP 26 socket. Also the one thing I found miss leading is how etrailer states to get the max capacity out of the hitch is you need the inner frame brackets welded to the frame which is true but you also need another bracket kit 308862 which I did not realize until I look at the installation directions. I would suggest ordering a set of bed bolts and retainer nuts before you start just in case plus they say you are not suppose to reuse them. My 8' bed had 6 - 114mm and 2 - 130mm. The 2 longer bolts were near the tailgate and have different size retainer nut
Wish there paperwork with the QR code would actually work for instructions but if your taken on this project that should be your last concern and etrailer has instructions on there site. Kit came in like it traveled world few times with box barley on item but glad everything was still inside box. Had to purchase an 24 ext torx socket and 3” and 4.25” hole saw online. Had car lift so cheated on that one to lift bed but it’s really light so couple guys could blocked it up if need be after all it’s aluminum. Touched up bolt heads with bed liner and out door about 4 hours. Had I purchased truck new would of got factory hitch like my other truck as it’s much more cost effective than adding after the fact but didn’t have option on this one.
Excellent underbody hitch system. Installation went well once the body was off. If your installing on a late model ford you may want to be sure you have new bed bolts available. Ford says they are not reusable for some reason but it did not matter in my case. Even though I put PB rust blaster on 2 days in advance the cage nuts broke the cage and spun. Ended up having to grind the tops off to remove the body and then using some heat to custom bend a box end wrench to get into the box frame so I was able to remove the (now) studs. This was on a 4 year old truck but New England winters at work here i’m sure. Once the body was off installation was a breeze. Fit is perfect.
Packaging was open. Have not opened completely to see if anything is missing yet.
Rating is a reflection of the packaging and not the product. Will update after the install.
The Reese Under-Bed Gooseneck trailer hitch was exactly the same as the Ford product (which was not available at all when I made this purchase)! All of the bolt holes lined up perfectly with my F350 frame and was actually very easy to install. Please note: you will need a 250 ft-lbs torque wrench to properly tighten a few of the frame bolts! The product was shipped quickly and arrived as scheduled! I love E-trailer!
Order came, no issues. Scheduled for install 12/3.
Fit perfectly. I order from here all the time .
Installed without issues, have pulled a 12k lb 5th wheel across the southeast on several trips already. 5k miles of towing no issues. works same as factory for 2022 f250. worst part was tightening the frame bolts, unexpectedly easy was lifting the bed off the frame with 2x4 pieces. used a factory puck style reese companion set to the highest setting without issues. don't forget the bed wiring kit while you have the bed raised off the frame.
Item was shipped and received in a very reasonable time. Installation was per the instructions. However, I did stray in one area. The 2 bolts supplied to be used for alignment were really useless. The hole in the truck frame and the matching hole in the hitch are .5". The bolts are .388". The difference is .112" which certainly doesn't give you an "alignment". Instead I used .5" spacers to align the hitch to the truck. I could have aligned it by eyesight better than with the supplied bolts. The instructions aren't clear for alignment. In fact, they tell you to use the 2 blts for alinment but never to remove them. Reese could have done better in this one area. The OEM part ships with alignment pins.
I had to buy this because the factory-ordered truck I ordered was being delayed because they did not have these in stock. Interestingly I found out that Reese makes these for Ford. the only difference was the Ford stamp on the factory-installed hitch. The installation was straightforward if you have the tools and the room to do it.
Poor packaging, missing one of the two main brackets.

The pictures look gnarly, I am so sorry! Let me look into getting you the missing pieces in the mail. Be on the lookout for an email!
Dealing with the people at etrailer was great. They answered my questions. Also the item shipped really quickly. I had my order in about 4 days from the time I placed the order. I am very happy with my experience. The only issue I found was the packaging was torn when it arrived. Due to the weight it is understandable.
Product came quickly and everything was there. The only compliant I could possibly make was the hardware bag was torn open inside the box and the hardware was all over the place. I checked and it was all there so no big deal at all. I was also very impressed with how quickly it shipped (same day I ordered it) and how quickly it arrived (4 days). I’m a happy customer. My second big purchase from etrailer and I will continue to shop here!
Had my local ford dealership install this. Took about 3.5 hours. Buy the extra pair of supports if your truck did not come from the factory with them welded on. Hard to find but available on [resell site].
For the price of the product, packaging was terrible, product arrived with paint missing from several large areas due to shipping damage. Box was barely intact when it arrived. Also was missing one of the large grade 8 4.25” long bolts. So after a trip to the hardware store to replace the missing bolt and buy some paint to fix the damaged finish, got it installed pretty easy.

Oh no, I am so sorry to hear about that. Let me see if we can give you some sort of compensation for that inconvenience. Our customer service department will look into this and get back to you.
Missing a backet in the first order. The reorder I was sent a bag of bolts.
There’s no other place to go for quality and amazing service plus best pricing out there. Give Carol a call
A++
Let me begin by saying I’m not the easiest person to satisfy. I always have a million questions. Terri N was so patient with me. Answered all my questions. When she couldn’t she called the supplier herself and got the answer. I haven’t installed yet. But customer service is excellent. I would highly recommend. They are knowledgeable. Thank you Terri.
I have not received this yet.

Very good set up! Only complaint would be the little rubber trim pieces, they dont seem to sit all the way down and hay, dirt etc get under them. Not a big deal at all, thanks for the quality product!
Fit perfectly. Would buy again.
EASY TO INSTALL FIT LIKE IT SHOULD

I have about 12,000 miles clocked in on this system with my 5th wheel RV and could not be happier. Having tability to remove the 5th wheel hitch in about a minute and have a clear bed is great.
