Recommended 16,000 lbs 5th Wheel Hitch

Updated 05/06/2025 | Published 05/02/2025

Question:

I have a 2007 ram 3500 that has 5th wheel rails at 21 1/2-inch center for the pins instead of the standard 22 inches. What 5th wheel hitch fit this configuration as I would like to purchase a new 16k model without moving or replacing the existing rail configuration. Thanks

Hey Lloyd that's an interesting measurement. All of our 5th wheel hitches like the 16,000 lbs Reese item # RP30047 fit standard 5th wheel rails spaced 22" on center front to back, which is actually closer to 21-13/16". You're awful close with 21-1/2" on center.

What 5th wheel hitch are you currently using?
