Great product, super easy install. Didn't come with caps for open end of frame. Does raise hitch height but knew that when I ordered it but still fits under bed cover.

Use your standard, above-bed 5th-wheel trailer hitch with your Ram factory, underbed 5th-wheel towing prep package. Adapter mounts in factory sockets and supplies mounting rails in your truck bed for attaching your hitch.Great product, super easy install. Didn't come with caps for open end of frame.

This was an incredible experience inasmuch as this was my first time ordering from etrailer. I place my vehicle characteristics into your system, set my search parameters and placed my order that your site said was guaranteed to fit. My equipment came early and easily dropped into place as advertised. Great service!
Unfortunately, the packaging was damaged and there we some cosmetic scuffs and scratches, but for the most part when shipping a 90lb piece of equipment, it’s expected.

It’s still a wonderful product and works great!
Product is quality. Shipping was super fast but package was damaged and was actually missing one of the pins. Both parts bags were intact. I've always had great service with etrailer which is why I keep coming back. If you have any pull with Reese you might suggest the use zip ties to secure the rotating handles during shipping, secure all the loose hardware including pins inside the sealed bags for shipping. If you have any extra pins, please send me one. Otherwise another great experience with etrailer!

I have used this many times during this past year and it works as it suppose to. No complaints so far. Solid case for my 5th wheel hitch.
Part came incomplete and damaged. Was missing the pins to lock the hitch on, and missing the one of the pins for the puck locker. Ironic that I received an email that said "Your item was packaged by George" when all they did was slap a label on it.
Not only that, but the dimensions were off. I had to make the hole about a millimeter larger for my hitch to fit.
I emailed customer service about it and got no response. Stay clear.

I am sorry that your items are damaged and incomplete. I have sent your information over to our customer service team for them to better assist you with this.
I am impressed with how well it dropped right into place and lock in. And the fifth wheel pinned in perfect.

It is still a great piece of gear to have. Gives me more options for hitches.
This rail adapter was perfect. Fit our 2020 Ram 3500 DRW out of the box without adjustments. I was able to use my previous rail kit mounted Reese hitch from a 2016 3500 SRW.
Searched for a solution for mounting a PullRite Super-slide and this frame adapter did the trick. Installs quickly and is easily removed allowing full box utilization. It is identical to the factory optional adapter only hundreds less costly. Did require minor adjustment but instructions were clear and easy to do. Used with Industry standard Rail mounted hitches.

So you were able to put a PullRite Super slide hitch on this adapter? I have a PullRite hitch it is not a super slide and it doesnt fit on this adapter.

Fantastic. I have installed and removed the adapter frame several times. Im 70 years old and it was no bother for my wife and I to remove both the PullRite hitch and the adapter frame. I have ordered other products from E-trailer and all have done exactly what they described, They are an excellent resource and provide value as well as advise.
Per the attached photos, the box was destroyed in shipping. I was amazed only 2 Linch pins were missing.
It appears to be made of light weight material, although the 5th wheel slider looks like it will fit, now I need the new Ram to arrive.
This is a beast to lift. It went into the RAM 3500 puck system easily. It was the easiest part of the hitch installation. I purchased some small pad locks to lock the release arms in place to make it a little bit theft resistance.

The base has functioned flawlessly for the year. I have not removed the hitch nor the base this past year of ownership.
Working as designed. It allowed me to use old 5th wheel hitch instead of purchasing a new hitch designed for the Ram 2500. Some height adjustment on the hitch for the new truck and adaptor.

working as designed. Many trips with the 5 th wheel. I remove after each trip and reinstall prior to the next trip for access to the truck bed.
What a great find ETRAILER.COM has been providing the exact part I needed at the best price around....ETRAILER customer communication was excellent from order confirmation to shipping to delivery follow up....I will definitely consider ETRAILER for my next purchase!....

Good well built REESEart....Easy to install and remove....Thanks Again ETRAILER for fast delivery!
Arrived as scheduled, UPS driver delivered Ram Oem Adapter For Above-bed 5th Wheel Hitches (RP30154) right to my 2016, 2500 4x4, RAM truck where I unpackaged & installed in less than an hour. Took me a few hours longer to place, attach and adjust the Reese 16K hitch to the proper height. The 4x4 height required the hitch to be lowered. Fantastic pre sales support aided in the proper selection & order at a reduced cost.
The base arrived in a timely manner as it was delivered over a holiday weekend. I couldn’t have asked for a faster time if I wanted it. The box was literally ripped apart and I’m assuming somewhere between etrailer and my house the workers just didn’t care. Installation of the base was as easy as it could be. Fit right into my 2018 Ram Pucks without any issues. I was actually surprised how easy it was. I think it was harder to put the end caps in and all they needed was a little tap.
This is why I am giving it a 4 star and not a five star. I have a B&W bitch as you can see in the picture. Once it was in the slots there was absolutely no play at all. Fit like a glove. The problem came with the left hand side holes for the bolts and or pins to go in. The holes were drilled at a slight angle and were offset from each other. The bolt slid in and through the hitch holes but not out the other side. I ended up having to drill the holes out and snapped a bit in doing so, but once that was done the hitch was bolted down and I couldn’t be happier. I’m not sure if Reese had an issue the day mine was made but not a big deal.
etrailer got me the base quick and I’m happy they carried this product because I love my Fifth wheel hitch and would have been upset if I had to Pay $xx.xx instead of what I payed for this. I highly recommend this for anyone who may be converting from a bolted rail system to the Puck system.
We purchased many products from etrailer and every item is excellent and received quickly. This 5th wheel hitch adapter is simple to install and remove, with some adjustment needed but videos made it easy. The key is only straighten and bend the cotter keys once after the final adjustment. A second person made it easier since it weighs in at 90 lbs. etrailer customer service and employees are always helpful. 5 Stars!
I ordered the adapter on Monday, April 29 and got it on Thursday, May 2 (That was impressive as I live in western ND!). It came out-of-the-box as that had been torn in shipping. Not a scratch on the adapter; it was in excellent condition. I turned the handles to the proper position, dropped the adapter into the puck system of my 2018 Ram 2500, gave one of the the corners a slight tap with a rubber hammer, and it was in. The whole process took less than a few minutes. I set my PullRite hitch into the slots of the adapter and inserted the pins. Everything fit like an expensive glove. Hooked it up to my 36’ fifth wheel Montana camper the next day. I couldn’t be happier with the product or the professionalism of e-Trailer. A great product from a great company.
WOW! very impressed! Some minor adjustments I did on the edge of the bed to remove the up and down movement. Put the hitch pins in and dropped in. I locked in place and it fit perfect. Next we dropped the Reese 16K fifth wheel with slide rails and bolted down. Thanks Kelsey! All the local places tried to tell me I had to have rails put in, but they were wrong, Thanks etrailer.com. I know where to go to get hitched!!!
This product Worked exactly as design and Josh was extremely helpful in convincing me to spend that amount of money to convert my fifth wheel from afford to Iran the right way with no corners cut. He was extremely professional and right on the money with what I needed and I was confident I had the right thing coming when the shipment came in.

Very happy with it.
I finally took delivery of my truck last Friday night, and got my Reese Picture frame adapter R-30154 installed. Here is a picture of the adapter only, and adapter with my hitch installed. Thanks for your assistance, sorry it took so long.
The concept is great, the execution is lacking... very poor quality welds, even worse quality in finish (see all the bare metal exposed in the photos). Make sure to wear gloves when handling as the manufacturer did not deburr at all.
Shipping was less than desirable (to no fault of Reese or etrailer). My UPS guy dropped this hauling it to our door, take a look at the images of the packaging.
It was easy to install, instructions are clear. This aligned perfectly with my '17 Ram 3500 and dropped right in. I cannot comment on the functionality as I am waiting to assemble the head for my Reese hitch.
Product was a perfect fit for my Ram 2500 with the puck system.
The bad- not all etrailers fault. The box was pretty beat up and the bag with the hardware was ripped open. I think this happened in UPS’s possession. It was missing one nut but I went to the hardware store and paid the .10 for a new one.
Product latched into position without any issues. Does add about two inches of height to the front clearance.
I think this a well designed and well made product. I just removed the hole covers in the box of my truck set the adapter in place ( and after a little adjustment on the twist locks ) locked it in place, and set my Reese 5thwheel in place. great product, would recommend to everyone.

Great simple but well built product. Highly recommended
Ok product. A real back breaker at 88 pounds. I had to remove it several times to get the proper adjustment. Could use better instructions or better yet a video.

It’s ok. I have trouble putting hitch on. Not manufactured precisely. Do you have a buy back program?

Once reinstalled it works.thanks
The adapter was constructed just a tad out of square and we couldn't get one of the legs into the puck. After 2 hours of messing around with it in the freezing weather, my husband finally had to get under the truck and adjust the puck. I jumped up and down on the adapter and it FINALLY went in. Then when I was putting in one of the pins in the arms, it snapped in my hand. I think for over $500 this thing should be made square and the pins shouldn't fall apart. Once we got the leg in the puck, it was easy peezy and our Curt E-16 hitch fit like a glove. I'm still mad though that a 10 minute install turned into a 2 hour ordeal because the thing was out of square. They need to up their quality control in the factory. Anyways, if it doesn't fit, check to see if yours is square and then know you will have to adjust the puck.
works great. only thing I don't like is that to take the hitch out of the truck you have to take it apart. the locking bars wont rotate to the unlocking point with the hitch on top.

Its become one of those products that I dont think about. I was nervous at first since this was my first fifth wheel set-up. No problems or concerns. Would buy it again.
