Video Transcript for Reese Fifth Wheel Installation Kit RP50142 Review

Today, we're going to take a look at the Reese Quick-Install Custom Bracket Kit for 5th Wheel Trailer Hitches. This is a custom fit part. This is designed to fit the Dodge Ram 1500 trucks starting in the year 2009. On any custom fit part, I would like to always recommend to go to our web site, use our fit guide. Put in you year and model vehicle. It'll show you if this will work for your application. These are vehicle-specific brackets that are designed to mount to existing holes in your vehicle's frame.

The hub minimize drilling and measuring so it cuts your installation time in half when compared to the universal bracket systems. These custom brackets will mount beneath your truck bed to provide attachment points for the 5th wheel rails. The base rails are required. We do sell those separately. They are part number RP58058.

They are designed to sit in the truck bed and allow installation of the 5th wheel trailer hitch. This kit here will include the custom brackets, the hardware and a nice set of detailed instructions. The finish on these brackets is a black powder coat finish to help resist corrosion. That should do it for the review on the Reese Quick-Install Custom Bracket Kit for 5th Wheel Trailer Hitches.

Instructions not clear enough/descriptive. Took 4 hours for my mechanic to install. would have been much simpler to loosen and lift box instead of taking everything apart as per instructions. Product seems good will know how it works after hitching up trailer.

  • Fifth Wheel Rail and Bracket Availability to Fit 2014 Ram 1500 with Air Suspension and Ecodiesel
    I spoke with my contact at Reese about the new install kit part # RP50142 and he informed me that this kit is designed to fit all models of the Ram 1500 including the ones with air suspension and the Ecodiesel engine. For rails you would also need the part # RP58058.

  • Fifth Wheel Rail Kit Recommendation for 2014 Dodge Ram 1500
    A rail kit from a 2500 series Ram truck will not fit a 1500 regardless of the year so you'll need an all new kit for your 2014 Ram 1500. For that you'd want a custom install kit as they install much quicker and easier than universal style kits. For that the Reese rail kit part # RP50142-58 would be a great option.

  • Reese Fifth Wheel Bracket Kit Recommendation for a 2014 Ram 1500 with Coil Springs
    Since you have a set of Pro Series fifth wheel rails currently and you have a Firestone Coil Rite suspension part # F4190 you will want the Reese Custom Install bracket kit part # RP50142. Since the hardware from the brackets to the rails is considered one time use you will need to go with new hardware. For that you will need part # RP58430. Those two parts are all that you would need to install the Pro Series 15k hitch you have in the bed of your truck.

  • Fifth Wheel Bracket Kit Recommendation to Fit 2017 Ram 1500 6-1/2 ft Bed
    For your 2017 Ram 1500 6-1/2 foot bed we have the Reese fifth wheel bracket kit part # RP50142 which is a custom fit and comes with the brackets needed to install the rails you have if they happen to be Reese. Since we don't recommend mixing rail and bracket manufacturers we can't recommend this bracket for a different brand of rail. You'll need new hardware to attach the rails to the brackets as well with part # 58164.

  • Fifth Wheel Rail Kit that Fits 2018 Ram 1500
    Reese has the fifth wheel rail kit part # RP50142-58 that's a confirmed fit for your 2018 Ram 1500 which if you had Reese rails already you'd just need the bracket kit part # RP50142 to install them in your truck bed.

  • Recommended 5th Wheel Rail Brackets And Hardware For 2016 Ram Crew Cab With 5.5 Foot Bed
    For your 2016 Ram Crew Cab With 5.5 foot bed, I recommend the Reese Quick-Install Custom Bracket Kit for 5th Wheel Trailer Hitches # RP50142 to go with your rails. You will also need the Replacement Hardware Kit for Fifth Wheel Base Rails - 10 Bolt # RP58430 because the hardware is only intended for one time use. That will allow you to use your Reese 16K classic 5th wheel hitch. This 5.5 foot bed requires use of a Sidewinder Pin box or the OEM Revolution Pin Box both made by Reese. ...

  • Fifth Wheel Rail Kit Recommendation for a 2008 Dodge Ram 1500
    I have a solution for you, but the fifth wheel rails/brackets you had installed on your 2008 Dodge Ram are not a fit for your new 2014 model. You would need to upgrade your kit to the part # RP50142-58 as it is a custom fit kit that will minimize drilling and install time when compared to a universal kit. If you happen to have Reese rails already all you would need is the part # RP50142 and the hardware kit part # RP58430.

  • Recommended 5th Wheel Base Rail Bracket Kit for 2012 Ram 1500 with 5.5 Foot Bed
    For your 2012 Ram 1500 with 5.5 foot bed the Reese Quick-Install Custom Installation Kit w/ Base Rails for 5th Wheel Trailer Hitches # RP50142-58 is the custom fit. If you use rails from the RP30035 then you simply need the Reese Quick-Install Custom Bracket Kit # RP50142 along with the Replacement Hardware Kit for Fifth Wheel Base Rails # RP58430 to makeup that custom kit. If you already have the # RP30035 kit, then you can simply add the Reese Installation Kit for 5th Wheel Trailer...

  • Recommended 5th Wheel Base Rail Kit for Husky 16K Slider on 2020 Ram 1500
    For your Husky 16K Sliding 5th Wheel I recommend the Reese Quick-Install Custom Outboard Installation Kit w/ Base Rails for 5th Wheel Trailer Hitches # RP56018-53 which is easy to install with the outboard brackets. The 5th Wheel/Gooseneck 90-Degree Wiring Harness w/ 7-Pole Plug - GM, Ford, Ram, Toyota - 9' Long # 50-97-410 may also be of interest for an easy connection point in the bed of the truck.

  • 5th Wheel Mounting Kit for 2019 Dodge Ram 1500 Crew Cab with 6-1/2-Foot Bed
    We do have 5th wheel installation kits confirmed to fit the 2019 Ram 1500 Crew Cab with 6-1/2-foot bed and these appear on the two linked pages. One page shows kits for the version without EcoDiesel engine and the other for the version with it. Right now the kits available are from B&W and from Demco. We have one above-bed kit for the non-EcoDiesel version, B&W Base Rail kit # BWRVK2604, which is currently the only option that fits trucks with the factory Air Suspension system. This no-drill...

  • How to Tow Fifth Wheel Trailer with 2019 Ram 1500 with Air Suspension and Ram Boxes
    Fifth wheel towing is possible with a truck like your 2019 Ram 1500 that has a Ram Box but it is a bit more challenging due to the Ram Box. Reason being the boxes are very wide and take up valuable space a pin box would need to pivot. So the solution is a Sidewinder pin box installed on the trailer as this moves the pivot point up higher above the bed rails. You will need to remove the pin box of the trailer and replace it with a Sidewinder pin box. Sidewinders are pin box specific so...

  • Recommended 5th Wheel Custom Install Kit for a 2014 Ram 1500 Quad Cab W/ A 5-1/2' Bed
    The Reese Quick-Install Custom Bracket Kit for 5th Wheel Trailer Hitches # RP50081 you mention will actually not fit on your 2014 Ram 1500 Quad Cab with a 5-1/2' bed. Instead, you're going to need the Reese Quick-Install Custom Bracket Kit for 5th Wheel Trailer Hitches # RP50142 for the Reese Quick-Install Custom Installation Kit w/ Base Rails for 5th Wheel Trailer Hitches # RP50142-58. Also, the install kit # RP50142-58 includes the custom brackets, rails, mounting hardware and will...

  • What Reese Fifth Wheel Rail Kit Fits a 2016 Ram 1500 5-1/2 foot bed with Ecodiesel
    Yes, the Reese fifth wheel rail kit part # RP50142-58 that you referenced is a confirmed fit for your 2016 Ram 1500 5-1/2 foot bed with Ecodiesel engine. For just the brackets you would want the part # RP50142. You should note that your slider hitch is not going to give you enough clearance to make tight turns. Your only option would be to use a Sidewinder pin box and have the slider hitch in the forward position all of the time. You will need to remove the pin box of the trailer and...

  • Recommended 5th Wheel Rail Brackets & Hardware Compatible With Air Suspension on 2015 Ram 1500 5.5FT
    Since you already have the rails, I recommend the Reese Quick-Install Custom Bracket Kit for 5th Wheel Trailer Hitches # RP50142. Then I recommend the Replacement Hardware Kit for Fifth Wheel Base Rails - 10 Bolt # RP58430 as the hardware for your rails. This will give you the base rail system for your 2015 Ram 1500. Because you have the 5.5 foot box, a sliding hitch will not work so you will need a Revolution pin box on your trailer or the aftermarket version the Reese Sidewinder....

  • Can You Mix and Match 5th Wheel Base Rail And Bracket Kits?
    You unfortunately can not mix and match 5th wheel rail and bracket kits. So if you have the Curt Universal Fifth Wheel Base Rails # C16204, you'll want to use a corresponding bracket kit # C16306. Conversely, if you have the Reese Quick-Install Custom Bracket Kit for 5th Wheel Trailer Hitches # RP50142, you'll want to use the Reese Universal Base Rails for 5th Wheel Trailer Hitches # RP58058.

  • 5th Wheel Rail Kit for 2019 Ram 1500 Rebel
    I checked with Reese and the correct custom frame brackets for 5th wheel base rails on your 2019 Ram 1500 Rebel is the part # RP56018. These brackets do require 48" wide base rails and for the complete kit including both the brackets and rails you can use part # RP56018-53. The # RP50142 bracket kit that you referenced is only a fit on the Ram up through the 2018 model year so they won't work on your 2019 model. Since your Rebel has a 5-1/2 foot bed the only way to tow a 5th wheel trailer...

  • Custom Fit 5th Wheel Brackets for a 2016 Ram 1500
    The Reese Installation Kit item # RP58386 you referenced is semi-custom so it will require drilling into your 2016 Ram 1500's frame. For a set that does not require drilling you'll want item # RP50142. These are just the custom fit frame brackets that will install in predrilled holes. If you need the entire kit including the in-bed rails you'll want item # RP50142-58. To make towing with a 5th wheel easier I recommend adding the Curt 5th Wheel/Gooseneck Custom Wiring Harness item # C56070....

  • Recommended 5th Wheel Install Kit for a Fifth Gen 2019 Ram 1500
    I do have a custom 5th wheel install kit available for your fifth generation 2019 Ram 1500 but the Reese Quick-Install Custom Bracket Kit for 5th Wheel Trailer Hitches part # RP50142 is not a confirmed fit. Instead, you will need to use the Demco Above-Bed Base Rails and Custom Installation Kit part # DM8552032-71 which is currently one of the only available options for you so long as you don't have the factory airbags. Please note that you do not need to use a Reese install kit in order...

  • Frame Brackets and Hardware Only for Reese Rails and 5th Wheel Hitch in 2014 Ram 1500
    The actual above the bed rails will be the same between the 2003 Ram 1500 and the 2014 Ram 1500 but you will need new frame brackets and hardware. The bracket kit is # RP50142 which comes with most of the hardware you will need for installation with the exception of u-shaped spacer blocks. Those blocks you can get with kit # RP58430. To add a 7-Way in the bed that tees in with the 7-Way at the rear you can use # 50-97-410. I have linked a video showing an example installation for you.

  • Reese Fifth Wheel Rail Kit Recommendation for a 2016 Ram 1500 6 ft Bed EcoDiesel
    The recommended rail kit for the 2016 Ram 1500 with a 6-1/2 foot bed an EcoDiesel is the part # RP50142-58. For just the brackets you would want the part # RP50142. This is a custom bracket kit that will minimize drilling and install time. Since the hardware that attaches the rails to the brackets is only designed for one time use you would also need the part # 58164.

  • 5th Wheel Brackets Only for a 2013 Ram 1500 Short Bed and 15K 5th Wheel Trailer Hitch
    Yes, there are 5th wheel installation kit brackets that fit your 2013 Ram 1500 with coil springs. There are different styles of rails though. If your rails look like # RP58058 which mounting holds on the side flanges at the end then they are 10-bolt rails. if the look like 30124 with no holes in the side flanges then they are 4-bolt rails. Custom brackets, # RP50142, fit the 10-bolt rails and your truck but not the 4-bolt rails. If you have the 4-bolt rails there is no easy way to get...

    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.
