Forged, Self-Latching Jaw

Self-Latching Jaw

The one-piece jaw on this fifth-wheel hitch provides absolute security with its wraparound design. Increased jaw-to-king-pin contact results in not only a stronger connection, but less noisy rattling and stiff chucking as well.


The jaw is also always ready to receive, so you don't need to use the handle to open it before backing up toward your trailer. As long as the bail pin is removed from the latching handle, the jaw will accept the king pin as it enters the hitch.


Finally, the jaw is self-latching, so it will automatically secure your trailer's king pin when it moves into the jaw.


Quiet, Comfortable Ride

Pivot Bushings

In addition to the tight jaw tolerance, a close connection between the head and the pivot bushings further reduces rattle and movement. And because the pivot bushings are independent from the head, they can be tightened to ensure a strong connection over time.


King Pin Indicator Prevents High Pinning

King Pin Indicator

This M5 hitch features a built-in king pin indicator to ensure proper hookup. This indicator is located on the back of the head along with a V-shaped notch that are both visible from the cab of your truck. The V-notch is lined up with the jaw at the front of the hitch, and can be used as a guiding point to line the king pin up with the jaw as you back up your truck. The jaw also has an internal plate that keeps the king pin from entering if it is too high to enter safely. As a result, the king pin indicator will only change from red to green if the king pin is fully engaged in the jaw.


Easy-to-Use Latching Handle

Lever and Hitch

This hitch's handle is designed for smooth motion and effortless operation. It requires only 2 fingers to use and won't bind up as you pull. In addition, the handle is long, so it's easy to access from outside of your truck bed. And the ergonomic grip makes it comfortable to hold and pull from different angles.

  • 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.

  • Comparing Reese Elite and M5 Fifth Wheel Hitch
    The Reese Hitch M5 Fifth Wheel # RP30921 has the edge over the Elite part RP30142 that you also mentioned. They both share very similar heads/jaws and provide excellent king pin contact but the advantage the M5 has is that it has cushioning built into it to provide a smoother ride quality. With the RP301412 you'd use the included universal wedge of your Reese Revolution and for the M5 you would want to use the RP44FR. You'd want to use the short end of it.

  • Gooseneck Tripod Stabilizer for 5th Wheel Trailer with Reese Goose Box Adapter
    Since your 5th wheel trailer is using a Reese Goose Box 5th wheel to gooseneck adapter you will need to use a tripod stabilizer for gooseneck couplers such as # UF19-950450. This tripod is rated for 5,000 pounds pin weight and is height adjustable from 31 inches to 54 inches.

  • Fifth Wheel Hitch That Fits in Pucks of 2017 Ford F-350 With 8-Foot Bed
    There are a number of high-quality fifth-wheel hitches that will fit into the puck system of your 2017 Ford F-350 Super Duty. Reese makes two of those, called the Elite Series, which is available in towing capacities of 20,000lbs # RP30921 and 27,000lbs # RP30921. In between those weight ranges is the Demco Hijacker # DM8550033, which has a 21,000 lb capacity. Finally there is Curt, which has different fifth-wheel hitches that will fit in the pucks of your F-350's bed. The A16 # C16520-16017...

  • Recommended Reese M5 Series 5th Wheel Hitch to Tow a 16,800 lb GVWR Trailer with a 2017 F-350
    We typically recommend having about 1,000 lbs - 2,000 lbs worth of cushion between your loaded trailer and the max weight capacity of your 5th wheel hitch. Even if you were to load your trailer up to the 16,800 lbs though I believe that you would be just fine with the Reese M5 20K # RP30142. This fits directly to the puck system in your 2017 Ford F-350. It weighs about 154 lbs but you can remove the head, which weighs about 50 lbs, to help make installing and removing the hitch easier. The...

  • Recommended 5th Wheel Hitch for 2012 Ram Mega Cab with Reese Elite/Ford Puck Pattern
    Reese made the aftermarket puck system you are referring to and also created the puck system for Ford. The system you reference is called the Reese Elite Underbed # RP30074 and will be compatible with the Ford Prep Package hitches. For the best towing experience, I recommend using the Demco Hijacker Autoslide 5th Wheel Hitch w/ Slider - Ford Super Duty Prep Package - 18K # DM8550024. This will fit in the pucks and also give you the automatic sliding to provide proper turning clearance...

  • How to Identify if a Truck has Reese Elite or Signature Series Rail Kit Installed
    Check out the picture I attached that shows the dimensions of what Reese Elite or Signature Series pucks would be in the bed of a truck like yours. If you measure the center to center distance of the pucks, and they come out to be 13 by 30 inches, they are Reese Elite rails that would be compatible with the Reese M5 20K hitch # RP30921 or the 27K model, part # RP30922. If you wished to use a different hitch that's compatible with industry standard bed rails, an adapter is available,...

  • 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...

  • Is a Sidewinder Pin Box or a Sliding 5th Wheel Hitch Better for a 2018 Ford F-250 with a 6-3/4 Bed
    You can use either a Sidewinder pin box or a sliding 5th wheel hitch to achieve a 90 degree turn with the 6-3/4' bed on your 2018 Ford F-250 Super Duty. The most hassle-free setup would be to install a Sidewinder on your Jayco and then use a stationary 5th wheel hitch in your F-250. By using a Sidewinder you won't have to get in and out of the truck to unlock and lock the sliding feature on a 5th wheel hitch. We do have autosliding 5th wheel hitches but they are significantly heavier than...

  • Recommended 5th Wheel Hitch And Custom Rails Using Puck System On 2001 Ford F-250 w/ Firestone Bags
    For your underbed puck system on a 2001 Ford F-250, I recommend the Under-Bed Rail and Installation Kit for Reese Elite Series 5th Wheel Trailer Hitches # RP30073. This system is a custom fit for your vehicle and will give you the 4-puck system similar to those you see in the factory rail kits in current vehicle models. For the hitch that is compatible with these pucks, I recommend the Reese M5 Series 5th Wheel Trailer Hitch - Single Jaw - 20,000 lbs # RP30921. This hitch allows you...

  • Trailer Hitch Options for a 2012 Ford F-350 With Factory 5th Wheel Prep Package
    The fifth wheel prep package that you have on your 2012 Ford F-350 is compatible with the Reese M5 Series fifth wheel hitches. There are two M5 Series fifth wheel hitches that are available, the M5 Series 20K hitch and the M5 Series 27K hitch, # RP30922. If your fifth wheel trailer weighs more than 18,000 lbs when it is fully loaded, then I recommend the 27K hitch. If you have a short bed truck you'll also need to use a sidewinder pin box to push the pivot point of your trailer back 22"...

  • 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...

  • Best Fifth Wheel Hitch Recommendation for 2019 Ford F-250 without OEM Rail Kit
    Thanks for all of the details on your towing setup as they are very helpful. Since you have a pivoting pin box that means you can use a fixed fifth wheel hitch and have the turning clearance needed to make tight turns. Normally this require a sliding hitch so that you have cab to trailer nose clearance. So for a fixed hitch the Reese M5 part # RP30928 is a really great option that you'd just need the custom rail kit part # RP56017-53 installed in your truck bed and you'd be set. I have...

  • Replacement Head for Reese 5th Wheel Hitch
    Hi Fred; as long as your Reese 5th wheel hitch was an M5 like # RP30921 the Replacement Head Assembly for Reese M5 5th Wheel Trailer Hitches # RP30892 you ordered is the correct replacement part. What happened to the locking mechanism on the old one?

  • Can the Reese M5 Series 5th Wheel Trailer Hitch Be Used With the Chevy Factory Puck System
    I do have an option for you but the Reese M5 Series 5th Wheel Trailer Hitch part # RP30921 does not fit the same pucks in your 2020 Chevrolet Silverado 3500. There is not an adapter for this either so your only option would be to sell it to recoup some of your money and then obtain a new 5th wheel hitch. For this, I recommend the Reese M5 5th Wheel Trailer Hitch part # RP30895 because it will not only fit directly into the pucks but it will also provide you with the most weight capacity...

  • Under Bed Install Kit for Reese on 2016 GMC Sierra 2500 with 6-1/2 Foot Bed
    The Reese M5 Fifth Wheel Hitch # RP30921 installs into your 2016 GMC Sierra 2500 using # RP30868. Since you have a 6-1/2 foot bed you may need a sliding hitch for turning clearance. Unfortunately, the Reese M5 cannot be converted to a slider so you would need an entirely new hitch, # RP30144. You may not need the sliding hitch. Especially if your trailer has a Sidewinder or Revolution pin box. If it doesn't already you may be able to replace the pin box with a Sidewinder. If you tell...

  • Information for Installation of a 5th Wheel Hitch on a Truck with a 5 Foot 6 Inch Box
    When towing a fifth-wheel trailer behind a truck with a 5 foot 6 inch box, a Sidewinder replacement pin box will be required. The Sidewinder pin box will move the pivot point for the trailer back 22 inches, providing clearance, in most cases, for making sharp turns with the fifth-wheel trailer attached to the truck. On some trucks with a bed less than 6 feet long, trailers that are very wide, like 102 inches, cannot be towed even with a Sidewinder, so measuring closely ahead of time is...

  • Will Hidden Hitch 18k Signature Series Fit 2023 Ford F-250
    Hi Vince; it will not be possible to use the Hidden Hitch 18k Signature Series with your 2023 Ford F-250. That hitch fit a specific set of rails that are not available for a 2023 model. If you have an 8' bed and the prep package the # RP30921 you were looking at would be a nice upgrade. If you don't have the prep package you need the # RP53AR which also includes above bed rails.

    Yes, there is an option to add an aftermarket under bed puck system to your 2018 Chevy Silverado 2500. It is the Elite Series Under-Bed Gooseneck Complete Hitch item # RP30158-68. This under bed system has a towing capacity of 25,000 lbs. I have linked a picture below of what this will look like installed.

  • Reese Under-Bed Puck System Compatibility With A 2024 Ford F-250
    Hi Dan, Reese hasn't had a 2024 F-250 in yet to test fitment of the Reese Under-Bed Gooseneck Trailer Hitch w/ Custom Installation Kit # RP39FR. The brackets needed to connect the 30180 to the frame are part 30182 or # RP27FR. With both the 2023 and 2024 models using the same gooseneck hitches there's likely no change in fitment and this would work with a 2024, but no one has confirmed it yet.
