Reese's outboard installation kit for your fifth-wheel trailer hitch was designed with safety and convenience in mind. Just like the original custom mounting brackets, these brackets install using existing holes in the truck frame, minimizing installation time. The biggest difference with this outboard kit is the extended-length rails. These above-bed rails are 5 inches longer than standard, universal fifth-wheel rails so that they will match up with the mounting points on the brackets, which sit below the bed and outside of your truck's frame. The result is a much simpler installation process, wherein most underbed components can be easily avoided. Because you are working outside the frame rails, you also have easier access with your tools and more room to work, making the whole process less of a pain.
The base rails included in this installation kit feature a standard 10-bolt design. Each of these rails attaches to the underbed brackets with two carriage bolts at both ends. A single bolt is used in the center of each rail to further secure it in your truck bed. The result is a set of base rails that remains firmly in place thanks to 10 points of contact.
This entire installation kit is built to be SAE J2638 compliant and has been extensively tested per specified accelerated-life-cycle criteria for fifth-wheel trailer hitches. The requirements for testing are based on the European-style test of 900,000 cycles, making this testing process among the most thorough and intensive in the industry.

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.
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!
by: Joseph04/16/2023
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
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: 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: 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: Louis03/16/2020
I spent a whole day installing the Reese 16k hitch and custom quick mounting rails in a 2020 F150. Video was great and I advise you to watch it a couple of times before installing. Paper instructions not so good. If you have a 36 gallon fuel tank, I recommend you to do this install on a lift. I do not recommend you to install on your garage floor especially if you are 67 years old, still sore from laying on my back. You must remove spare tire and heat shield. I installed with tires on and very tight working around large fuel tank area. Going on a test drive to see if everything holds together.
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
by: Daniel03/10/2018
Looks like this is going to be a perfect fit for what I need to pull my 2011 Rockwood Signature Ultra Lite 8265WS, 5th wheel trailer with the Revolution pin box. Just had it installed & after many years of driving truck with a 5th wheel, I can tell this is a good sturdy 5th wheel & looks good too.
by: Greg 04/11/2024
I very much appreciate the expedited shipping and the follow-up. Appears all made it in good shape. Have put you guys on my favs along with Harbor freight,
Home Depot, Cabella's, and Big 5.-----Tell more when installed. Will only use on occasion at Tree Farm.
by: Gary 03/05/2023
Excellent hitch for pulling my 5th wheel. Unhooks a lot easier than my last hitch. My last hitch would bind up and pin would not release at jaws. I would have to move truck up or back to get it just right for it would release. I’m not having that issue with this hitch. Major plus for me!! E trailer is good to work with. It was back ordered a few weeks but overall happy with the hitch.
by: Terry07/24/2023
The hitch had several large scratches on the front leg decals and a lot of smaller scratches and dings on the painted surfaces. This was caused by inadequate packing materials. The parts should be packaged so they are not allowed to touch and rub against each other during transit. One of the mounting pins did not have a machined groove for the locking clip. I had to use an old pin I had from the hitch I replaced. I would like to get a replacement pin that has a groove for the locking pin as the one I'm using is 20+ years old. I had to drill out the hole for the cotter pin that attaches the handle. The pin would not go through until I drilled it out. On the flip side the hitch is what I expected it to be and seems to be well built and should do what I need it to do. I gave you 3 stars due to the packaging issues and the pin with no groove.
by: Nancy04/19/2023
Legs were not as heavy and our original 15k. Difficulty getting one of the legs into the original rails. Slight difference in center to center. Release does work much smoother than our old hitch As for etrailer, the hitch arrived in three days, No shipping charge. Great service.

Works perfect. Not to hard to install myself. Great price. Would definitely recommend.

The custom hitch kit fit my f150 perfectly and the etrailer staff were extremely helpful in making sure I ordered the correct kit for the year of my truck. Etrailer is an outstanding company to do business with and I would highly recommend them.
by: Troy 07/20/2021
The hitch was installed on Valley Rails which was previously installed on my 2004 Silverado 3500. The hitch fit on the rails and during the first pull performed outstanding. I pull a 41ft 5th wheel and I am impressed with the double jaw lock.
by: Roger T.03/03/2016
After getting the rear rail installed, I used the hitch to set the front rail. I worked perfectly. I can remove the hitch without any binding. This was a problem with my old hitch on my old truck that was installed by the service department where I bought my original 5th wheel trailer.
This is basically the same hitch as I had before on my old truck and I had no problems with it after towing approximately 37,000 miles over 15 years so I expect that this hitch will give me the same service.

Everything is good

by: Ron01/05/2017
The hitch has worked as expected. I would expect nothing but from Reese. During our last trip the hitch started to creek so I removed the top and applied a little grease. This unit is working in conjunction with a Revolution king pin box on our 5th wheel. We are very pleased with this unit for our application.
Etrailer has been our go to place for many trailering items. I would recommend them overall for customer and product performance
by: Lance07/08/2023
Another case of Reese's failure to package their products properly. What used to be bright and shiny delivered scratched, covered in areas of the paint rubbing on cardboard. Screws missing, release handle bent to where it wouldn't slide over the rod. Hammer marks on the legs which would seem to indicate someone already tried to mount it and returned it. 30 minute job turned into 2hrs of cussing. But at least it showed up in two days. I hope whoever bought out Reese brings a better process to the market, but the chances I'd buy it are pretty slim.

I'm sad reese is made in CHINA! the one leg is not drilled on both sides, i can fix it myself Etrailer is awesome!

Great 5th wheel hitch and best price I could find. It fit into the rails on my 2012 Ford F250 perfectly. Very pleased with ETrailer's fast delivery and reliable products.

Great fifth wheel hitch for the money. Gives a much smoother ride than my previous Reese than only rotated front to back. The customer service from etrailer was second ton none. I will definitely purchase from these folks again.

- How to Tow a 5th Wheel Trailer Using a 2013 Ford F-150 with 5-1/2 Foot Bed
- In order to tow a 5th wheel trailer with your 2013 Ford F-150 that has a 5-1/2' bed you are going to need to use a fixed 5th wheel hitch and a rotating pin box. The reason for this is because the amount of turning clearance you have with a 5-1/2' bed is severely limited so you will need to extend the connection point back away from the cab in order to prevent the loft of the trailer from coming in contact.
For a fixed 5th wheel hitch, I recommend the Reese 5th Wheel Trailer Hitch part

- In order to install a Reese 5th Wheel Trailer Hitch like part # RP30047 on a 1997 Dodge Ram 2500 you will need to use the Reese Universal Base Rails and Installation Kit for 5th Wheel Trailer Hitches part # RP30035. There are no custom or outboard install kits for a 1997 Dodge Ram 2500 so the above universal one is your only option.

- I did some research on your new fifth wheel Forest River Sabre and based on the information you sent it sounds like you have a maximum weight capacity of 16,000-lbs when fully loaded. If you have not purchased your truck yet, I suggest making sure it comes with a factory 7-way connector and consider the factory rail kit.

- The Andersen Fifth Wheel is not compatible with a Reese Revolution, which is the OEM version of a Reese Sidewinder such as # RP34FR. Instead, you will need a fixed fifth wheel such as the Reese # RP30047, which uses Custom Base Rails and Installation Kit # RP50066-58 to fit in your 2017 GMC Sierra 2500 if you do not have the factory prep package. I've added links to video reviews for you to take a look at as well.

- If you are referring to the pucks used on the factory prep package (see photo 1) in Ford Super Duty Trucks from 2011+ then no, they do not use pins to secure but rather knobs (see photo 2) which rotate to then lock in place. With that being said it sounds like you might be trying to use Reese 5th Wheel Trailer Hitch part # RP30047 on a Ford Super Duty Truck with the factory prep package. If that is the case then this is possible but it will not attach directly inside the pucks. In order

So what you want is fixed hitch like the # RP30047 and a custom rail kit for your truck like the Reese part # RP50087-58 and you'll be in very good shape with the Reese Revolution.

A custom fit kit like this will install in less time than a universal kit and will minimize drilling. I attached an install video for this kit for you to check out as well.

- The Reese 5th wheel hitch, part # RP30047, weighs about 92 lbs and the custom installation kit, part # RP56001-53 weighs about 75 lbs, so combined they weigh about 167 lbs.
Per the owner's manual the Gross Combined Weight Rating(GCWR) For your 2500 is 21,100-lbs. The best way to calculate what size 5th wheel trailer to get would be to take the weight of your truck, passengers, toolboxes, and any cargo, and then subtract that total from the GCWR.

- Yes, the Reese Quick-Install Custom Outboard Installation Kit w/ Base Rails # RP56034-53 is a confirmed fit for your 2022 Ford F-150.
