Reese 5th Wheel Trailer Hitch w/ Round Tube Slider - Dual Jaw - 16,000 lbs
part number: RP30075

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.


Reese Double Jaw

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.

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.

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.

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.

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!

@Glen Thank you for the update.

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.

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.

Patrick B.

Certain PullRite hitches use a narrower spread than most. This rail adapter does not provide the most narrow slot set. If your hitch tabs are narrower than the slots on the adapter, I would bet that your PullRite is one of those models.

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.



by: pje5908/12/2020

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.

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 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.

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.



by: Blane W08/28/2018

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!

2018 Dodge Ram Pickup

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.

2018 Dodge Ram Pickup

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!!!

Dodge Ram Pickup

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.

  • Measurements For Installing 5th Wheel Trailer Hitch Install Kit # RP30035, 2009 Ford F-150
  • From the rear edge of the bed on a 2009 Ford F-150 to the back of the rear rail the distance will be 29-5/16 inches. The center of the hitch pin jaws will be 1-1/2 inches forward of the center of the rear axle when using 5th wheel trailer hitch installation kit # RP30035. The nearest video we have with this installation kit and a Ford truck is for a 2002 Ford F-250. I have provided a link to the video and a link to the installation instructions for the installation kit for reference.

  • Fifth Wheel Trailer Hitch Recommendation for a 2012 Ford F-250 and 2012 Heartland Elkridge Trailer
  • For your new 2012 Ford F-250 and Heartland 5th wheel trailer, I recommend going with a 16K Reese hitch which will give you plenty of room to spare as far as capacity and will provide you with years of service. To me a standard bed is an 8 foot bed. That would mean you would need the fixed version, # RP30047. But if your bed is 6-3/4 feet long, you would need a slider. The slider that offers the most travel and most clearance for making tight turns is the round tube slider found with

  • Will Slider Hitch Or Sidewinder Work On A 2011 Ford F-250 With 6-3/4 Foot Bed Towing A Cyclone 300C
  • I would recommend using a fifth wheel hitch with a slider on your 2011 Ford F-250 with a 6-3/4 foot bed. Failure to do so can result in the front of the trailer loft on your Cyclone 300C fifth wheel striking the rear of the truck cab during sharp turns and causing damage. The hitch you are looking at, the Reese 16K 5th Wheel Trailer Hitch with Round Tube Slider, part # RP30075, is a great choice.

  • Does 2014 Ram 2500 Short Bed Need Slider Hitch to Tow Fifth Wheel Trailer

A slider hitch like the Reese 16k part # RP30075 would be a great option. For a rail kit that is confirmed as a fit for your 2016 Ram 2500 short bed you'd want the Reese rail kit part # RP50054-58.

  • How Does Gross Combined Weight Rating Determine Towing Capacity
  • It's not always evident what a truck's max capacity is, even by reading the owner's manual, but if you look at the ratings sticker on the driver's side door jamb, you can get an accurate statement of the truck's towing abilities. On the sticker, look for the Gross Combined Weight Rating, GWCR which is the maximum amount the truck plus the fully loaded trailer can weigh. From that, subtract the GVW, which represents the curb weight of the vehicle, plus gasoline, cargo and passengers. The

Using just one or the other may not give the clearance you need when executing sharp turns, which will happen.

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

  • Can Short Bed Truck Tow Fifth Wheel Trailer
  • There are great solutions for towing a fifth wheel trailer with a short bed truck. There are slider hitches like the part # RP30075 which can slide back when you need the turning clearance. This is a great solution for truck beds that are between 6 and 8 feet in length. If the bed is shorter than that a Sidewinder pin box is the best way to get the needed clearance. You would need to remove the pin box of the trailer and replace it with a Sidewinder pin box. Sidewinders are pin box specific

  • Can Same Fifth Wheel Hitch be Used with Short and Long Bed Trucks
  • Short bed trucks typically require a slider hitch to allow for turning clearance. The shorter distance between the axle of the truck and the cab makes it hard to make a tight turn without the nose of the trailer hitting the cab of the truck. So a slider like the Reese part # RP30075 can slide back when in a parking lot to give you the clearance you need. Whereas if you have a long bed you wouldn't need a slider and a part # RP30047 would work fine. That said a slider hitch can be

Usually any truck that has a bed less than 8 feet long is considered a short bed truck. It is recommended for short bed trucks to use a slider fifth wheel hitch. I

  • Mountin PullRite 2700 5th Wheel Hitch on 2016 Ram 2500 with Factory Prep Package
  • We don't currently carry PullRite products but based on my research the 2700 model is designed to mount to industry standard base rails (some PullRite models only attach to unique PullRite rails). With this in mind you will be able to mount the hitch to the factory pucks on your 2016 Ram 2500 by way of the Reese 5th Wheel Rail Adapter # RP30154. The adapter will drop right into the factory pucks to provide industry-standard rails to which the PullRite will mount. I have included a short

  • Should there be Movement Between Reese Adapter and 2013 Ram Factory 5th Wheel Prep Package
  • Once the Reese 5th wheel rail adapter # RP30154 is installed in your 2013 Ram there should not be any play between the truck and the adapter. If there is you may need to adjust the tee pin anchors for a tighter fit. I have included a link to the installation instructions for you. The adapter also has not been confirmed to fit with the Pullrite SuperGlide hitches for industry standard rails so it is possible that something with that style of slider hitch is creating too much leverage

  • Can Ram 1500 with Ram Boxes Tow Fifth Wheel Trailer
  • With a Sidewinder pin box installed on your trailer you can tow a fifth wheel but otherwise you would have turning interference since the Ram Boxes make the truck bed too narrow and the Sidewinders raise the pivot point up high enough to avoid this. You will need to remove the pin box of the trailer and replace it with a Sidewinder pin box. Sidewinders are pin box specific so you will first need to know what pin box you have now in order to pick out the correct one. There should

  • Will a Husky 5th Wheel Sliding Hitch Fit Reese Adapter for 2014 Ram with OEM Prep Package
  • If your Husky slider 5th wheel hitch is a Silver series then it should fit just fine in the Reese adapter, # RP30154. Other customers have reported using Husky hitches with this adapter. Reese states that the adapter fits their sliders # RP30048, # RP30051, and # RP50024. They do not test it with other manufacturers hitches. Your Husky hitch does have the proper spacing of the tabs front to back and side to side though.

  • Adapter to Allow Installation of Standard 5th Wheel Hitch in Factory Puck System on 2016 Ram 3500
  • According to my online research the Pullrite 2700 is a 15K hitch designed to fit into industry-standard above-bed base rails (ISRs) and so to use it in your Ram 3500 shortbed's factory puck system you will use adapter # RP30154. I confirmed this with my Reese technical contact. This Reese adapter drops right into the factory pucks and provides the equivalent of ISRs. Do note this adapter will add 2-inches of height to the hitch setup. I suggest you check with the folks at Pullrite about

  • Fifth Wheel Hitch Recommendation for 2016 RAM 3500 Short Bed w/ Puck System Towing 2015 Cedar Creek
  • Although many trailer manufacturers are now designing their trailers with the tapered fronts to be more aerodynamic and also to help increase turning clearance, our hitch manufacturers are still going to recommend using a hitch with a slider opposed to a stationary hitch. Using a slider helps to compensate for the reduced turning clearance on a short bed pickup. Since your 2016 Ram 3500 will be equipped with the puck system, I recommend going with the Curt Q24 5th Wheel Trailer Hitch

  • Fifth Wheel Hitch Recommendation for a Ram OEM Hitch Prep Package
