Fit perfect, Great Product. Took 2 1/2 hrs to install.

Wish there was better way to do holes in bed of truck, but we did get it. Thanks



by:

This is a well made and engineered product. I really like how tight and rattle free the hitch is. Setup takes some time to get it just right, but worth the time. The down side is changes made to the kit in the past year or two. The instructions now state to drill some very oversized holes in the bed based off measurements. I find this method to be sloppy. The first kit I used included a pointed bolt. This bolt was installed from under the vehicle and tightened from the bottom to make a mark in the bed of the truck. This made drilling far more accurate and the holes in the bed could be much smaller. I will use this method over the new method. The results are a cleaner and more precise installation.

GREAT TIP!!!

2017 Chevrolet 2500

I've been very happy with the Reese RP 30868 that allowed me to use the puck system on my 2017 Chevy 2500HD Duramax. It seems to be very sturdy and well built. I'm using it with a B&W Companion hitch that is easy to put in and take out with the puck setup. I would have given the RP 30868 5 stars if it would have had the GM base pattern. I'm using the Ford style base that works perfectly fine with it. I am and have a Happy Camper!

This was the deciding factor in purchasing my 2017 Chevrolet 3500. If I could not put my Companion 5th wheel in it, I would find a dually ford. I purchased the kit with the reassurance from customer service while at the dealership after they reassured me they could install it. I am extremely pleased with the look and the function of the product! Thank you!

E trailer is a great company to order from. The operator was very knowledgeable about the product and it shipped the same day I had it two days later. Also the video they had was great. The mount fit on my new Silverado perfectly it called for a four hour job however it only took three. I would definitely order from here again.



by:

I would like to let everyone know that this kit will not except a standard fifth wheel hitch. It will only fit the Elite hitch. (or another manufacturer with the same measurements). I missed this and had to buy an adapter to fit my hitch once i had it installed. Installation was no to difficult with a mechanical back ground and a shop to lift the box to slide the rails in. I think it would be more difficult for the back yard folks but not not impossible. Hope this helps to make your decision on your kit needed.

I love this system, this is my second truck with it. it’s not terribly difficult to install either, as long as your comfortable drilling holes in your new truckbed, and have a huge torque wrench. Will purchase again when I get my next truck.

I installed this in a 2013 Denali SRW, and a 2016 Silverado 3500 DRW. And used a Demco autoslider with Ford factory pins. They work perfectly together.

I recently paid a local company to install the Under-Bed Rail kit on my GMC 2500HD. The total install time with wiring was 5 hrs. It is a beautiful set up. The only thing you see in the box are 4 rubber plugs where the B&W hitch clamps in. Great set up. The box is 100% useable.



by:
2016 Chevrolet Silverado 2500

Product was easy to install and almost disappears when the 5th wheel hitch is removed. Once I installed these support rails I had a bed liner sprayed in. I can easily install and remove the hitch.

I ordered the frame mount over the internet via the web site. I found the web site to be very accurate to find the correct part to fit my truck. I received the product just three business days later. Upon receipt via UPS, the box was extensively damaged and open on the end. Upon opening, I found all of the hardware and a few of the pucks missing. I made a call the following morning to Etrailer to report the issue. Kevin was so understanding and willing to help with no issues, only wanting to get the order corrected.. He took the information I had and ask I send a few pictures of the damage. I sent them immediately as he said as soon as he got them he would get the replacemant parts in the mail. Three days later I received the missing parts via USPS and in excellent condition. This company is exceptional and are very customer oriented. I have ordered other products also and never been disappointed. Also I have found their prices to be very competitive! They have earned all of my business.

After consulting with seller I decided on the under bed mount RP30868 for my 2017 Chevy 2500HD truck.
The how-to videos are SUPER helpful. the instructions were not very clear about measuring points but the etrailer video showed me exactly where to measure from.

It's a mounting kit for a fifth wheel hitch. Nothing sexy about it. Heavy duty, all parts accounted for. Great service from etrailer. Couldn't beat the price.



by:
2018 Chevrolet Silverado 3500

The first box I got was missing parts, they shipped the missing parts fast and had no problems installing the hitch. Have ordered many things from etrailer and this was the first problem I had. Will do business with them again.



by:

easy to install and went together perfect I would buy again if I was to need a new hitch.

it's a good kit wasn't to bad to install it's nice to be able to remove the hitch when i'm not using it.

Hitch arrived on time and was completed. Installed 5th wheel today. Everything fit perfectly and am well pleased.

This adapter works perfectly fopr my fith wheel hitch



by:

Easy to install. The quality of the material was really made well. The only thing was is that when it was shipped the Box was damaged and some of the parts were missing but you all were able to replace the parts as soon as possible and I appreciate it that



by:

The frame brackets should have been different and bolted to the Factory holes would have made this job easy

Shipped fast ..great customer service...haven't installed yet so hopefully all fits as should

  • Recommended Aftermarket Underbed Puck System for 2019 Chevy Silverado 3500
    For your 2019 Chevy Silverado 3500, the manufacturer puck system is not available in aftermarket but there is a very similar option to give you the 4 pucks. It is the Reese Under-Bed Rail and Installation Kit for Reese Elite Series 5th Wheel Trailer Hitches # RP30868. This system is a confirmed fit for your truck and if you want to also add the 5th hole for the gooseneck you can do that using the Reese Elite Series Under-Bed Gooseneck Trailer Hitch Head Kit - 25,000 lbs # RP30158.

  • Does Reese Elite Rail kit for 2016 Chevy Silverado 3500 have Same Dimensions as OEM Rail Kit
    The Elite fifth wheel rail kit part # RP30158-68 has very different puck dimensions than the factory rail kit your 2016 Chevy Silverado 3500 would have came with. The areas of your truck bed that are flat or designed for matching up to the pucks of the OEM rail kit will not match up. The # RP30158-68 will allow you to use a hitch like the Reese M5 part # RP30921 which is a very quiet and high quality hitch. To answer you question directly though the left to right dimension between the...

  • Can Demco Hijacker Autoslide for Ford Rail Kit Fit 2012 GMC Sierra
    If you had the Demco Hijacker for Ford puck systems part # DM8550038 you could use the Reese Elite Rail kit part # RP30868 to install it in the bed of your 2012 GMC Sierra as this fits both your truck and the hitch since the Ford OEM rail kits are the same as the Reese Elite rail kit. Then to convert it to a gooseneck hitch as well you'd just need the part # RP30158 and you'd be set.

  • Recommended Fifth-Wheel Hitch to Pair With Reese Revolution King Pin Hitch on 2015 Silverado 2500
    There are a number of very good fifth-wheel hitches available for you to choose from, but their fit depends on the truck you have. In that regard, you will want to stay away from short-bed trucks, which you can classify as anything with a bed that is under 8 feet. The correct hitch is going to also depend on if you purchase a truck with a factory fifth-wheel prep package. Sliding hitches should not be used with the Revolution, and there are a few other fifth wheel hitches that are not...

  • Recommended 5th Wheel Under Bed Rail Kit and Sliding Hitch for 2016 Chevy 2500 with 6.5 Foot Bed
    For your 2016 Chevy 2500 with 6.5 foot bed, I recommend starting with the Reese Under-Bed Rail and Installation Kit for Reese Elite Series 5th Wheel Trailer Hitches # RP30868 you mentioned. This under bed system is compatible with other sliding hitches so the B&W Companion # BWRVK3370 is not your only option. Reese made the Elite Series to work with the original Ford trucks, so the Factory Ford puck system is identical. My personal preference is the Demco Hijacker Autoslide 5th Wheel...

  • Will Demco Rail Adapter # DM6175 Fit Reese Elite Pucks on 2019 Chevy Silverado 3500
    The pucks for the Reese Elite systems are in the same exact location as the Ford Factory Rail Kit pucks. This means that the Demco 5th Wheel Adapter for Ford OEM Prep Package # DM6175, which is indeed a bit shorter than the Reese # RP30156, will fit the Reese Elite Under-Bed Rail System on your Silverado 3500 perfectly. This will allow you to use your existing hitch (as long as it attaches to industry-standard rails) while keeping the overall height as low-profile as possible. The correct...

  • B and W Companion Slider Recommendation for 2016 GMC Sierra 2500HD With Ford Elite Rail Kit
    If you have the Reese Elite underbed rail kit part # RP30868 installed in your 2016 GMC Sierra the correct slider B and W Companion is the part # BWRVB3370. This is the kit designed for Ford factory rail kits which are the exact same as the Reese Elite rail kits. The GM rail kit dimensions are much different. For the whole hitch assembly that includes the slider and the head you'd want the part # BWRVK3370.

  • Recommended B&W Companion Hitch for a 2013 GMC Sierra 2500 W/ Reese Under Bed Pucks
    Hey Robert, the B&W Companion # BWRVK3710 and # BWRVK3700 are the exact same thing. The only difference is that # BWRVK3710 fits the 2020-2026 GMC Sierra 2500/3500s, while # BWRVK3700 fits the 2016-2019 GMC Sierra 2500/3500s. So since the Reese # RP30868 is the same thing as the Ford OEM pucks, you're actually going to want to use the B&W # BWRVK3305 instead.
