It does not fit the 5th wheel; do I have to drill new holes in 5th wheel????

The Reese 30023 hitch you have used a T-bolt mount to the bed rails, versus a linch pin style connection used by the newer ones. Reese hasnt manufactured that connection style since around 1990. Unfortunately, Reese doesnt offer those rails or hitch legs that would allow you to retrofit your existing hitch. There is a solution, though. Your old rails shown in one of your photos should be compatible with the frame brackets, so as long as the old rails are still in sound shape you could reuse them. Drilling holes in the new rails isnt recommended, as it could weaken them.

I've been towing a 43ft, 20,000 lb, toyhauler for about a year now. This hitch has been great, easy to use and hasn't caused me any issues. I live in the PNW and it just lives in the back of my truck in the weather and zero issues. The price was amazing and it works great.

This product works great! Easy install took about 2 hours with my brother and a couple of basic shop tools, very satisfied



by:

I received the Reese 5th wheel 16,000 lb slider hitch from etrailer in June 2019; installed it in July 2019. Took around five hours to install the base rail kit and Reese hitch start to finish. So far so good, this heavy duty slider hitch works flawlessly with my F250/fifth wheel combo. It arrived in multiple boxes, had excellent instructions and an operating manual. For myself and other do-it-yourselfers, etrailer provides excellent support and installation videos to help with the install.



by:

Installation went a lot smoother than anticipated. It is a quality product that I would recommend to anyone, especially over the universal fit units.

2011 Ford F-250 Super Duty

I ordered the Reese Custom install kit for their 5th wheel hitch for my 2011 F250 Diesel Lariat, short bed. It was shipped quickly, was well packaged and came with clear directions. etrailer was fantastic about customer support and making sure all the pieces parts were there. I'm planning on installing in a couple of days and am looking forward to using it. I'm glad I went this route vs the other generic kit. This one is cut to fit this exact vehicle, so no hunting for good mounting spot, moving lines or drilling the frame etc.

Product was as described and easy to install. If I change trucks again I would purchase from etrailer again.

I very much enjoy my REESE slider hitch purchased from etrailer. It works exactly as advertised and is holding up well. Its quiet on the road and makes hooking up a breeze.



by:
2013 Ford F-250 and F-350 Super Duty

Well, this is my third purchase of the same exact custom rail kit. Needless to say, I'm getting pretty good at it. This has been the best experience this far do to one simple change from the last two kits. They have added a single wing on the nut that holds holds the quick mount to the truck frame. This alone allows you to tighten the bolts without have to hold a wrench on the nut on the other side of the frame. This made this one man job much, much easier. The only reason I still give it 4 stars is the instructions still lack for the first time installer of this product. I give 5 stars to etrailer for putting out fantastic how to videos that explain the install much better. I watched it just to brush up. Excellent job !! I'm an etrailer customer for life due to great products and support.



by:
2016 Ford F-250 Super Duty

Installed on a 2016 f250 with no complications, very exact fit in all all aspects. Took about 4.5 hours using floor jacks in a tight space. It could be done very efficiently with a second hand and a lift.



by:

Very easy to install. If you are going to use air bags install them first.



by:

Worth buying the custom frame brackets. Made installation go easy.



by:
2016 Ford F-250 Super Duty

This 5th wheel mounting assembly was a perfect fit for my 2016 F-250 . The directions were easy to follow and installation took me about 4 hours. The one suggestion I would make is ensure you have access to a torque wrench. I did, but the direction do not specify it in the tools required section. Over all E-Trailer had awesome service, quick delivery, great pricing and the assembly arrived in two days. You can't ask for much more then that.

Installed easy



by:
Honda Pilot

It was the easiest set of rails I have ever installed. I mounted the brackets to the frame and drilled a pilot hole up to the top of the bed. I could have had the job completed in less than 20 minutes if it weren’t for having to climb in and out of the bed. All of my trucks from now on will have the same product.

Great product and service. Ordered on a Monday had by Thursday. Installed on Friday afternoon had in about 3 hours looks good was nice not to have to drill holes through the frame.

Fairly easy install. Had to drill the holes a little larger than 9/16 because of the location of the bed sills but other than that no problems.

  • Recommended Custom 5th Wheel Rail Kit for 2011 Ford F-250 Compatible with PullRite Superglide Hitch
    The Curt 5th wheel rail and bracket kit # C16424-204 and the Reese # RP50026-58 are both confirmed to fit your 2011 Ford F-250. Both of these kits will give you the brackets that fit your frame and don't require drilling into your frame. You will still need to drill into your bed to attach the rails, but the locations are easy to determine base on the bracket location. The PullRite Superglide 2700 will fit industry standard rails like these. You may also want to consider adding a 7...

  • Fifth Wheel Rail Kit Recommendation for a 2016 Ford F-250 Short Bed
    If you are looking for the complete fifth wheel rail kit for your 2016 Ford F-250 short bed you would want the part # RP50026-58 which is a custom fit kit that would install much quicker and easier than universal rails. If you only needed the brackets and not the rails you would instead want the part # RP50026 and # 58164 for new hardware for the rails to the brackets. This hardware is designed to be torqued down one time so you would need the new hardware kit to replace what you have.

  • What are the Differences between Reese Fifth Wheel Rail Kits that Fit 2016 Ford F-250 Short Bed
    Reese offers two fifth wheel rail kits for your 2016 Ford F-250 short bed. They are different styles that have trade offs, but both of them are going to be much easier to install than a universal install kit. The part # RP56016-53 is an outboard rail kit. This means that the brackets for the rails mount on the outside of the truck frame. The benefit to this is that they are much easier to install. The drawbacks are that they cost more and the rails are dimensionally larger all around. The...

    When installing the Reese Quick-Install Custom Installation Kit w/ Base Rails for 5th Wheel Trailer Hitches # RP50026-58 you will measure from the tailgate end of the bed to towards the cab 32-1/4". The center to center line for the rails is 22" so that plus an extra 4" - 6" for the complete width of the base rails would put you at 58" - 60" leaving you approximately 38" between the rails and the cab of the truck.

  • Recommended Sliding Fifth Wheel Hitch For 2012 Ford F-250
    I did some research and found that the 2003 Sandpiper fifth wheel trailer has a GVWR of 11,000-lbs. You should not have an issue towing it with your 2012 F-250. You will need a sliding fifth wheel hitch since your truck has a 6-3/4 ft truck bed. You will need this because it will allow you to execute turns. I recommend a sliding fifth wheel hitch like the Reese # RP30051. This has a 16,000-lb towing capacity. This hitch has dual jaws that help reduce jarring and chucking when towing....

Note that for 8-foot beds sliding hitches are not usually required but can still be used if desired if kept in the forward position. For a fixed Reese 16K hitch you might instead consider # RP30047. The easiest installation kit is a custom type that will require less drilling. If your F-250 does not have the factory rail kit you can use Reese install kit # RP50026-58....

    I am assuming that your 2015 Ford F-250 has a short bed (6-3/4 foot bed) and that would be why people are telling you about sliding hitches. Short bed trucks do require either a slider 5th wheel hitch, Sidewinder replacement pin box, or a trailer designed specifically for short bed trucks (they are much more narrow at the front than the back so you can make sharp turns without hitting the truck and trailer together). Basically it is going to depend on the width of the front of the trailer....
