Average Customer Rating:  4.5 out of 5 stars   (23 Customer Reviews)

Custom brackets reduce the amount of drilling and time required to install your fifth-wheel trailer hitch. Brackets, base rails, and hardware included.

by:

Kind of a complex install and having to remove wheels, rear liners and the spare make it kind of a difficult job. Local installer did it which was worth the 175$. Except they didn't really use the correct hardware or bolt locations which is annoying. Very careful of wire routing as it pinched the air suspension sensor wire and created all sorts of headaches.

Anyways functionality wise it's a good system and good price and or price match, (ebay was a bit cheaper). I pull a 30ft Trailer 9k+ and it doesn't leave me questioning anything. Andersen ultimate connection hitch

I have installed this kit on a 2012 ram 1500 quad cab. the rear bracket is a bit challenging to get in place, and if you have dual exhaust there is no place to reinstall hanger bracket, other than that its a easy install

what did you do about the hanger? do you have one custom made later? Hangers provide support on the exhaust system. without them you can break manifold parts from stress.

Very well designed installation kit which requires no drilling thru the truck chassis. You won't find a simpler way to install your fifth wheel hitch.

Great Customer Service at all levels. These people do exactly what they say they are going to do. I spent about $1800 for my fifth wheel, rail kit, sidewinder and custom wedge. This was money well spent as everything works great.

  • Will The Demco Hijacker Autoslide 5th Wheel Hitch Fit A 2019 Ram 1500 Classic
    The Demco Hijacker Autoslide 5th Wheel Trailer Hitch w/ Slider # DM8550034 is designed specifically for short bed trucks like your 2019 Ram Classic Short Bed. To know if it will be compatible with your current rails you'll just need to measure the distance from the center of the front rail to the center of the rear rail to determine if they are Industry Standard Rails (ISR). If you find the measurement between the center of the rails to be 22" (as shown below) then you do have ISR rails...

  • Fifth Wheel Rail Kit Recommendation for 2018 Ram 1500 5-1/2 ft Bed
    For your 2018 Ram 1500 with a 5-1/2 foot truck bed we have the Reese custom fifth wheel rail kit part # RP50142-58 as a confirmed fit that would work great. Since it's a custom install kit it would install without frame drilling and is perfectly compatible with your R16 hitch.

  • No-Drill 5th Wheel Hitch Bracket/Industry Standard Rail Kit for 2019 Ram 1500 Classic Short Bed
    Assuming you have the gas engine, for a industry standard 5th wheel bracket/bed rail install kit that won't require drilling into the truck frame I'd recommend the Reese # RP50142-58. We offer air springs that install into the factory coil springs such as the Air Lift # AL60818HD, but the hitch frame brackets would prevent you from installing a typical air spring set up like the Air Lift Load Lifter # AL57365. I see that you'd looked into a Curt # 16516 Sliding 5th wheel hitch. The 5...

  • Recommended 5th Wheel Hitch For 2013 Ram 1500 5.5 Foot Bed With Rambox
    If you don't already have rails, I recommend the Reese Custom Rails # RP50142-58 for your truck. Once you have rails, I recommend theCurt E16 5th Wheel Trailer Hitch - Slide Bar Jaw - 16,000 lbs # C16115 which will fit with your rails. This hitch has interlocking jaws and a fully articulating torsion head for controlled coupling and a quiet stable ride. This hitch has an adjustment from 13 to 17 inches tall. This hitch will work well with a Sidewinder that is required for a 5-1/2 foot...

  • 5th Wheel Hitch Installation Bracket/Rail Kit for 2021 Ram 1500
    2021 is a split model year for the Ram 1500, with two different models being available. The 1500 Classic is a carryover from the previous generation, while the Ram 1500 is the all new model. If you have the Ram 1500 Classic, I'd recommend the Reese # RP50142-58 custom install kit. For a less expensive option, a semi-custom kit is available as part # RP30035-523. The semi-custom kit would take an hour or two longer to install. For a Ram 1500, only a custom install kit is available as part...

This will provide you with industry-standard, above-bed base rails, and the custom brackets will use existing holes in the Ram's frame rails so you don't have to drill into them during installation.

  • Will Reese Custom 5th Wheel Install Kit RP50142-58 Fit a 2016 Ram 1500 with Air Suspension
    It looks like your Hijacker 24-USP-16 fits in industry standard above the bed rails. Installation kit # RP50142-58 does have the industry standard rails and does fit models with air suspension so you can use that kit with your hitch on your 2016 Ram 1500. A word of warning though. Since you have the 5-1/2 foot bed a slider hitch is not going to offer enough travel to make 90 degree turns without interference between the truck and trailer unless the trailer was specifically designed with...

  • Fifth Wheel Hitch and Rail Kit for 2017 Ram Laramie 1500 Towing Grand Design with Pivoting Pin Box
    Since you have a pivoting pin box already you do not need a sliding hitch which is really nice as they are pretty heavy and have a lot of moving parts. So you'd want the Reese fifth wheel rail kit part # RP50142-58 which is custom fit for your 2017 Ram 1500 with air suspension. Then you can use a fixed hitch like the Reese part # RP30047 and you'd be set. If instead you end up with a non-pivoting pin box you instead could use the auto sliding Demco Hijacker part # DM8550040 which would...

  • Measurement For 5th Wheel Slider Compatibility On 2013 Ram 1500 Short Bed
    For your 2013 Ram 1500 short bed, the Reese Quick-Install Custom Base Rails and Installation Kit for 5th Wheel Trailer Hitches # RP50142-58 will be the closest component to the cab of your truck. The instructions on the brackets # RP50142 included in that kit give the measurement from the rear edge of the bed to the back of the rear rail of 28-15/16 inches and then you will have a measurement of 27-3/4 inches for a grand total of 56-11/16 inches from the rear lip of the bed not the tail gate.

  • Recommend A 5th Wheel Hitch For 2009 Dodge Crew Cab With 5.5 Short Bed
    Yes, I can assist you in finding a fifth-wheel hitch for your 2009 Dodge Ram Crew Cab with 5.5 bed. You will need an installation kit, fifth wheel hitch, wiring, and since you have such a short truck bed you will need to use a Sidewinder coupler. For an installation kit, I recommend the Reese Quick-Install Custom Base Rails and Installation Kit # RP50142-58. For a fifth-wheel hitch I would recommend Reese 5th Wheel Trailer Hitch - 20,000 lbs, part # RP30928, which has a 20,000 pound...

This makes the physical connection for towing a 5th wheel camper but you will also want the 5th Wheel/Gooseneck 90-Degree Wiring Harness w/ 7-Pole Plug, # 50-97-410 if you do not already have a wiring harness so as to make electrical connections...

    I recommend the Reese M5 5th Wheel Trailer Hitch # RP30928 for your 2019 Ram 1500 Classic. I like this 5th wheel hitch because the jaws are always ready to receive so you will not have to open the hitch before hooking up. The hitch has a gross towing weight of 20,000 pounds. You will also need the Reese Quick-Install Custom Installation Kit w/ Base Rails # RP50142-58. The custom brackets will mount beneath your truck bed to provide attachment points for your 5th wheel rails. The vehicle...

  • Fifth Wheel Rail Kit Recommendation for 2015 Ram 1500 with Air Suspension
    At one point there wasn't a fifth wheel rail kit that fit the 2015 Ram 1500 trucks with air suspension but that has recently changed and the part # RP50142-58 will fit all models of the truck. If you have a 6-1/2 foot bed you'd need a slider hitch like part # C95DR, if you have a long bed you'd want a stationary hitch part # RP30047.

    I have the perfect 5th wheel trailer hitch option that is a confirmed fit for your 2013 Dodge Ram 1500 and will not interfere with the vehicle's factor airbags. However, as the bed on your vehicle is only 5-1/2' long, you will want to use both a fixed 5th wheel hitch in addition to a sidewinder kingpin. For this, I recommend using the Reese 5th Wheel Trailer Hitch part # RP30047 in addition to our Reese Quick-Install Custom Base Rails and Installation Kit for 5th Wheel Trailer Hitches...

  • Recommended 5th Wheel Hitch for 2015 Ram 1500 with 5-1/2 Foot Bed and Ram Boxes
    Your only option for towing a fifth-wheel trailer with your 2015 Ram 1500 that has the 5-1/2 foot bed and Ram Boxes is with a fixed hitch # RP30047 and a Reese and Sidewinder Pin Box. A sliding hitch like you referenced will not provide enough cab clearance for making tight turns with your truck and trailer. A Reese Sidewinder Pin Box will replace the pin box on your trailer and move the pivot point 22 inches behind the king pin. This is the only way to gain enough cab clearance with...

Since this is a custom fit kit it will require minimal drilling and install time compared to a universal kit.

  • Fifth Wheel Hitch Mounting Rail Location in 2017 Ram 1500 6 foot 4 Inch Bed
    I checked with Reese, who confirms that for the # RP50142-58 bracket/rail kit the correct dimension from the rear edge of the back hitch mounting rail to the rear edge of the bed (not the tailgate) is 28-15/16 inches. This applies to both the 5 foot 7 and the 6 foot 4 beds. The bed dimension is actually 6 foot 4 inches, but most commonly refer to it as the '6 foot' or the '6-1/2 foot' bed. If you need a 7-way trailer connector in the bed of the truck, you could install

    There's too many factors for me to be able to determine what your mileage will be for your Ram with and without the trailer but there are things you can do to try and increase your mileage. You can use a tuner like the Edge Pulsar Inline Tuner with Insight CTS3 Monitor # EP33XR to improve your fuel economy, towing capabilities, throttle response, and performance. If you can provide me with the year of your Ram I can provide more specific tuner options. When not towing you can also improve...

    I do have an option for you but the Andersen Ultimate Connection 5th Wheel Trailer Hitch System with Adapter part # AM3200 is only compatible with fixed pin boxes. Since the Reese Revolution is a rotating pin box, it cannot be used with the above 5th wheel hitch. Instead, I recommend taking a look at the Reese 20 5th Wheel Trailer Hitch part # RP30928 with the Reese Quick-Install Custom Base Rails part # RP50142-58 which will work with your Reese Revolution Kingpin.
