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.
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.

Service was excellent, making sure I got the right hitch for my truck.
Ordered hitch on Friday afternoon and was here on Tuesday.
Only problem I had was the u bolts for the rail kit were a little short on the thread length as my Dodge Ram 2500 HD is a little thicker in the frame near gas tank then it is in the rear. But I did manage to get flat washer on a then prick punch the threads, as was not enough room for flat washer and lock washer. Just got it all done and will be hauling a D17 Allis Chalmers tractor,a few hundred miles. Thanks for the great service and what looks to be a great hitch.
by: Jeff01/25/2013
The kit is about 95% accurate and the instructions are about 60% complete. First remove spare tire, shield, tail pipe, inner fender liners and support. Second there are 2 types of brackets: welded and bent. The bent brackets go in the back, weilded brackets up front. Third, the front driver side bracket needs to be modified to allow for a bracket mounting location and a ground stud. As for torquing to 72lbs...well good luck

Excellent quality products from Reese along with great service and pricing from e-trailer. I did run into some availability issues from the manufacturer with my initial order but Kelsey informed me quickly so we could modify my order. My order was shipped very promptly as promised. Thank you Kelsey for the amazing customer service!
by: Gerald 03/17/2021
once i finally got the bottom platform to fit it went together quite well. It is really heavy for a 74 year old to wrestle around but i have a 40 year old son to help. Have never had to slide it back to back the fifth wheel up but have not had any close quarters to deal with. I would imagine that one of these made out of aluminum would be really expensive and probably not as strong.

2012 DodgeRam Pickup
I installed this hitch on my 2012 dodge ram 2500 diesel. I want to say first off I have owned and used many reese products in the past, and have installed several similar kits on new ford super dutys. I have also installed a universal mounting kit on the same dodge as I own. All of those products are great installation was a breeze. HOWEVER, this product needs to be redesinged. I am a pretty mechanical guy with plenty of experience in this field. I took me over seven hours to install this product. Most of the nuts on the bottom side are close to impossible to access with your hands. I was only able to get a torque wrench on one, and an impact on two. The rest were a quarter turn at a time with the open end of the wrench and finger tips to turn it. (that is once you figure out how to get the brackets up against the frame i.e. it's a great puzzle) to sum it up this particular product it A WASTE OF TIME AND MONEY! Buy the universial kit for this vehicle, It's $100 cheaper, and 1.5 hous to install. The same kit for a ford is great 45 min install. I just hope that my review will steer people in the right direction. I read the reviews and didn't listen. I thought it couldn't be that bad, well it is, believe me. Etrailer was a great place to buy, lowest price, free shipping, and fast, had it the next day.

Either one of these two kits: http:/www.etrailer.com/Fifth-Wheel-Installation-Kit/Dodge/Ram Pickup/2012/RP30035-186.html?vehicleid=201210901http://www.etrailer.com/Fifth-Wheel-Installation-Kit/Dodge/Ram Pickup/2012/RP30035-023.html?vehicleid=201210900They do require drilling into the frame of the truck, but it saves a lot of time and headache. If you already have the rails, I do believe you can buy just a hardware kit, but Im not totally sure.
by: E.P.08/22/2017
Installation went as printed, took two of us 4 hrs. instead of 2, but I am a perfection freak, centered within 1/32" . Have not used it yet, but will be shortly. Installed to specs provided. Will purchase next hitch from etrailer, Did not call for help, but good to know they were there if needed.
by: Josh S. 10/31/2016
Product is as it was described. Straight forward installation. Only problem I had was minor shipping damage. The ear of the 5th wheel plate was bent from it being dropped I would guess. Better packaging would've solved this...

The rails and mounting kit worked great. Installation went as instructed on my '05 Dodge diesel, and the 5th wheel base slipped right onto it. Etrailer staff were very helpful and accurate when I had questions (as they always have been).

Working great. After a year, just a little lubricant on the king-pin lock, again on a trip to NC for a wand we hooked up to the 5-th wheel and drove to NC for a week and then back to Daytona.

I purchased this kit for my '09 Dodge 2500 Quad cab with a short bed. While a pro could probably install this in the 2-2.5 hours Reese claims, I did it myself (and I'm admittedly a bit anal), so spread it out over a couple of days. The instructions were very clear, and the parts fit my truck perfectly. Some of the fitting locations did make it impossible to properly torque them with a torque wrench, so I had to revert to the way we did it before we had such a thing. After a 6000 mile trip everything is still tight, and ready for our next adventure!
by: Alan 03/19/2020
Product is holding up good. Install was a bit of a pain, there could be a few improvements made here and there such as the spacers that go between the bed and frame, but overall it fits good. Have towed approximately 40,000 lbs including my trailer and no warps, breaks, or unusual wear of any kind is detectable.
by: Adam04/04/2019
Awesome customer service and fast delivery. I will use etrailer in the future
by: Kris03/01/2018
Excellent product and installation instructions. My only recommendation would be to label the type kit that is shipped. I had to count each part and based on quantities provided I was able to figure out what model was sent to me.
by: Jeff12/13/2017
This has been a very good hitch. However, it can be a bit sticky when it is time for it to slide. Often need to chock the wheels to get it to slide. I do like the color coded indicators. It lets you know that the hitch is locked up solid.
by: Jack M.09/03/2011
The fit of the brackets is not as good as they could be. They cover the mounting holes for the factory wiring harness, as well as interfere with the e-brake cable support. About half the nuts are next to impossible to get a standard torque wrench on, and the directions were obviously written by someone who has never installed one of these.
by: Richard04/20/2019
2005 DodgeRam Pickup
Fast shipping, didn’t fit as seamlessly as I had hoped. A couple of small spacers were missing from the box, but luckily I had somethings laying around here that would work. I had to do a little grinding and minor modification to get the brackets to fit like they should. All in all, not a bad deal. Would of been a lot tougher to install without some mechanical knowledge and tools to do so.

Worked great to put my 5th wheel hitch in my truck. Quick delivery.
by: Tom O.05/20/2013
The installation kit came with all that was need for the job. It does take longer that 2-1/2 hrs though. I was working alone and I had experience doing a similar install. The hard part is reaching where a couple of the nuts are located to get them into position and tightened. But unless you want to pay your local shop $300-$400 to put it in for you, it's a job you can do if you READ THE DIRECTIONS THOROUGHLY!!
Etrailer is always super to deal with and ships very fast.

Show More Reviews Ask the Experts about this Fifth Wheel Hitch
Do you have a question about this Fifth Wheel Hitch?
- Using Sliding Fifth Wheel Hitch on 2010 F-150 with 6-1/2 Food Bed
- We recommend using a fifth wheel hitch with a slider on any truck bed that measures between 6-1/2 and 8 feet in length. Failure to do so can result in the front of the trailer loft striking the rear of the truck cab during sharp turns and causing damage. If the fifth wheel is equipped with a Sidewinder extended pin box, a standard non-sliding hitch may be used. A Sidewinder will relocate the pivot point from the hitch-king pin connection 22 inches rearward to the point where the pin box

- Since your 2006 GMC Sierra 2500HD is a short bed you would need a slider hitch to allow you to make tight turns without cab interference. Our part # RP30047 (same as Reese 30047) is a stationary hitch so the best alternative would then be slider version of this hitch which is part # RP30075 so that you'd have the turning clearance needed.
For a rail kit you'd want to go with a custom fit kit as it will minimize drilling when compare to a universal one. For that the best option is the

- To place a set of fifth wheel rails in the bed of your 2001 Chevy Silverado 1500 like the universal rail kit part # RP30035 will require you to set the rear rail edge 25-1/8 inches from the rear truck bed edge. To place the front rail you'd want to then put a hitch like the # RP300928 you mentioned in the rear rail and wherever the hitch places the front rail is where it needs to go.

- 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

- The Reese 16K Sliding Fifth Wheel Hitch, # RP30075, and base rails will transfer from your Dodge Ram to your 2000 Chevrolet Silverado as long as your base rails are Reese rails. The only components that may not transfer are the frame brackets. To determine if your frame brackets will transfer, we will need to know what type of frame brackets you were using to determine if they will fit on the Silverado.
If you were using a universal install kit like part # RP30035, then the frame brackets

- The Reese # RP30154 puck-to-industry standard bed rail adapter provides industry standard rails that would be compatible with 5th wheel hitches from Reese, Draw-Tite, Curt, B & W, Demco, Husky, Valley and others. It'll work great with the # RP30051 Reese hitch you mentioned.

If your truck has a gross vehicle weight rating under 8,500 pounds then the distance from the rear edge of the truck bed, not the tailgate, to the back edge of the rear rail is 29-1/4 inches. You would then use the hitch in the rear rail to locate the front rail and to drill the holes for the brackets.

- The best 5th wheel hitch for your 2014 Chevy Silverado 2500 with a 6-1/2 foot bed is going to be the B&W Patriot 5th Wheel Trailer Hitch w/ Slider item # BWRVK3270. B&W makes the best hitches in the towing business. The 3/4" thick jaw on the Patriot is precision machined to provide a tight, sturdy connection. And unlike 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
view full answer... - Recommended Clearance Between Trailer Loft and Truck Bed Rail When 5th Wheel Towing
- The ideal clearance between the top of the bed rails on the truck and the bottom of the loft on the trailer is indeed around 6". This will allow for clearance between the truck and trailer during most normal driving encounters such as bumps in the road, steep driveways, etc. In regards to a specific angle, this, I cannot provide as there are several factors at play that would vary for each setup. The best advice I have would be to just use common sense when you are out and about. There's

- With a short bed on your 2011 Ford Super Duty, you will need a slider hitch. There are no 18k sliders available, but there are numerous 16k hitches. I recommend the Reese 5th Wheel Trailer Hitch with Round Tube Slider, # RP30075, that you have referenced.
The round tube offers 12 inches of travel which will provide more clearance when making 90 degree turns. The hitch also features a double locking jaw which provides more hitch to king pin contact that single or slide bar connections.
view full answer... - Fixed 5th Wheel Hitch for 2016 Ram 3500 Mega Cab with Factory 5th Wheel Prep
- 5th wheel towing is easier with a long bed truck. Long beds avoid the need for slider hitches (and the need to get out of the truck to release the slider every time you need to make low-speed sharp turns). A 1-ton long bed like the Ram 3500 or the F-350 is an ideal choice for 5th wheel towing, both for pulling power and trailer-to-truck clearance.
The linked diagram shows you the recommended minimum clearances for 5th wheel towing. Some combinations of short bed truck and trailer will

- I called my contact at Reese and asked about the tension plate that came out when you were using your fifth wheel.
Another Expert and I went to our showroom and took a 16K Reese fifth wheel like your # RP30075 apart to see how the plate can be removed and re-installed. You obviously do not need to know how to remove it so to re-install it you will need to move the handle all the way rearward so it allows the plate to be installed with less tension.

- A 7,500 lb trailer would not be a problem at all for a 2018 Ford F-150 with the 3.5 liter EcoBoost. I looked up the capacity of your truck and every configuration of it with your engine has quite a bit more towing capacity than 7,500 lbs so you'd be good.
Since you have a short bed truck you'd need a slider hitch to allow you to make sharp turns. For that I recommend the Reese 16k slider hitch part # RP30075 because this hitch has a jaw system that holds the king pin tightly and a round

- Since your 2004 Dodge Ram 2500 is a short bed you'll need a slider hitch to provide the clearance needed to make sharp turns. A super popular option is the Reese slider hitch part # RP30075 which has enough capacity and a round tube slider that operates smoothly.
Or you have the option for an automatic slider with the Demco Hijacker part # DM8550034 which slides back as you make tight turns to give you the clearance automatically.
Both of these will fit the rails you have installed

- 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

- Yes, you can use the Reese 16k slier, # RP30075, on your 2010 Ford F-250 Super Duty. In addition to the hitch, you will need an installation kit. I recommend a custom installation kit because they take about half the time to install versus a universal kit. For your truck, you would need # RP50082-58.
This hitch and slider offers 12 inches of travel for added clearance when making 90 degree turns. There are many hitch options for your truck but if your trailer weighs under 16,000 pounds

- For the 2011 Ford F-150, all of the 5th wheel trailer hitch options currently available use above the bed rails. While these rails will raise up from the bed surface 1.15 inches. With a trailer weight 12,000 pounds and a pin weight of 1,500 pounds, you can use a 15k or 16k hitch.
I also recommend going with a custom installation kit because they install much easier and in less time than universal kits. For your truck, I recommend the Curt Sliding 5th Wheel Trailer Hitch, 16k, # 16516,

The custom brackets are the most important factor because they do not require drilling into the frame.

This kit would install in about 2-1/2 hours and to get a better idea of how easy it would be for you I attached a set of installation instructions plus an install video.

- I would love to help you pick out a fifth wheel hitch and rail kit for your 2003 Dodge Ram 2500 with a short bed and Cummins engine.
First lets start with a rail kit. A custom install kit will cut install time in half and will minimize drilling over a universal kit so I would recommend that route. For that I would recommend the install kit part # RP50140-58. The only Rams that have interference issues caused by overload springs are the newer Rams so that isn't an issue for you. I attached
view full answer... - Which Custom 5th Wheel Installation Kit will Fit on a 2010 Dodge Ram 2500 Crew Cab Diesel
- The Reese Quick-Install Custom Installation Kit, item # RP50140, is the correct installation kit for your 2010 Dodge 2500 Crew Cab 4x4. The Custom Installation Kit, item # RP50040 is not designed for the 2010 Crew Cab trucks.
Since you have a set of rails with your existing Reese rails will need the # RP50140 install kit along with the above bed rail installation hardware, item # RP58430, to install the rails to the custom below bed bracket kit.

view full answer... - Towing a Fifth Wheel Trailer with a 2007 Dodge Ram Mega Cab with a 6 Foot Bed
- You can tow a fifth wheel trailer with a 2007 Dodge Ram Mega Cab that has a 6 foot bed. Unless your trailer has a Sidewinder or Revolution pin box already you're going to need a sliding fifth wheel hitch.
To install a hitch in your 2007 Dodge Ram use # RP50140-58 for the custom install kit.
Another option is the Demco Hijacker Autoslide # DM8550037. The Hijacker travels 14 inches but the best part is that it slides automatically. No getting out of your truck to activate the slide

- The hardware, rails and brackets you need to install the Reese 14k fifth wheel in your 2008 Dodge Ram 2500 short bed is part # RP50140-58. This Reese quick-install kit does not require drilling into the frame.
If you already have Reese rails, I recommend part # RP50140 that includes just the brackets and hardware to attach the brackets to the frame. You also need the hardware to connect the rails in the bed to the brackets part # RP58430.
view full answer... - Will a Reese 5th Wheel Trailer Hitch Installation Kit from a 2002 Dodge Ram 2500 Fit a 2012 Ram 2500
- A 2012 Dodge Ram 2500 short or long bed will use Reese installation kit # RP50140-58 that you have referenced. A 2002 Dodge Ram 2500 does NOT use the same installation kit so the brackets will be different.
You can use the same rails but you will need to replace the brackets using # RP50140. And I also recommend replacing the 10 bolt hardware kit that attaches the rails to the brackets using kit # RP58430.

- The Draw-Tite, Pro Series, and Reese 5th wheel hitches are all made by the same parent company Cequent, and they will fit the industry standard rails, so we will just need to find an installation kit for your 2012 Ram 3500 to make your current hitch work on your new truck. I attached a picture of the dimensions of industry standard fifth wheel rails for you to check out so you can be sure what 16K unit you have will fit these.

view full answer... - Can I Pull And Turn A 5th Wheel With A 100 Gallon L-Shape Transfer Tank
- It certainly is possible to pull and turn a fifth wheel with a transfer tank in the bed of your truck. The main concern is clearance on sharp turns. I do not know the width of your toolbox/fuel tank combo so you will have to do some measuring to know with certainty that they will fit together. I recommend placing your 5th wheel hitch in the bed of your truck and measuring from the cab side of your hitch to the cab of your truck to ensure you have enough clearance for your tank. Generally
view full answer... - Fifth Wheel Rail Installation Kit Recommendation for a 2005 Dodge Ram 2500
- The best recommendation I could make for you would be a fifth wheel rail install kit like part # RP50140-58 that includes rails. Here's why, we don't carry RBW kits and we can't recommend you mix install bracket manufacturers with different brand fifth wheel rails.
The part # RP50140-58 is a custom install kit that will install in about half the time as a universal kit, will minimize drilling and will work with your RBW hitch.
Since you have a short bed I hope your hitch is a slider

- The Reese bracket/rail kit for a 2006 Dodge Ram 2500 Mega Cab would be part # RP50140-58 which includes the frame brackets, the bed rails and all needed installation hardware. If you were just wanting the frame brackets only, you'd use part # RP50140.

- For your 2003 Dodge Ram, I recommend the Reese Quick-Install Custom Installation Kit w/ Base Rails # RP50140-58. The custom installation brackets will require no drilling as they utilize holes in the frame from the manufacturer. These rails will work very well with your Valley Power Pull Glider 16K hitch.
Most air spring systems are compatible with in-bed hitches on your 2003 Dodge Ram, so you shouldn't have an issue there. I do recommend adding the Hopkins wiring harness # HM42137

Two more things: 1. Whenever you drill or grind any metal, make sure you re-coat the bare metal with a rust inhibiter. 2. There is a harness on the inside of the driver side frame. It actually needs to be disconnect from the factory mounts in 3 places. Also makes sure it does not chaff on the bottom post of the newly installed U-bolt.
