Whether you purchased the Elite Series underbed gooseneck hitch from Reese or bought the system as part of your new Ford Super-Duty, this adapter is perfect if you want to add your standard, non-Elite Series fifth-wheel hitch into the mix. Just mount the adapter in your underbed rails using the integrated pucks and lock it place. Now you have the standard, above-bed base rails needed to install your fifth-wheel hitch.
Note: Not compatible with the B&W Patriot slider (RVK3270) or certain sliders with 29" in slot spacing.

Adapt your Reese Elite Series under-bed base rails or Ford Super-Duty OEM towing prep package to work with any fifth-wheel trailer hitch that is rated at 15,000 lbs, 16,000 lbs or 20,000 lbs and attaches to standard, above-bed base rails.This was the perfect fit for a 2019 F250. Our other truck was in the shop and we needed to haul the toy hauler with our new truck. etrailer customer service was great because we needed this next day shipping to complete our camping trip. The F250 is a short bed and no slider hitch but there was still plenty of clearance to the cab.
Lennon - 06/23/2020We ordered this for our 2016 Ford F-350. The part comes unassembled, but with instructions that are easy to follow. I did have to adjust after assembly to fit our truck properly. ( The instructions state you may have to adjust ). If you get this I will recommend that you get the wrench, it would have made the adjustments easier. My hitch dropped right in the slots and pinned right in place. NOTE: the pins for the hitch are not included, so order them if you do not have them. The adapter does not rest on the bed, only on the FORD under bed adapter.
Alan A - 12/13/2016The adapter came as expected. It went together real fast. Keep everything loose when you insert same in the vehicle. You will have to adjust the four points, that is the nature of the beast. After the adjustment, the adapter fit fine. My Reese 16,000 hitch fit just fine.

I recently purchased an F250 with the puck system. This drops right in easily and works great with my 5th wheel Reese hitch.
This is exactly what the description says an adapter plate. This was purchased to adapt from the elite under bed rails to a standard fifth wheel hitch. If purchasing the elite under bed rails (due to cost saving don't do it. I missed the proprietary dimensions), they will only work with the elite hitch due to having there own dimensions. I wasn't really excited with the elite hitch so i chose to by the adapter and kept my old hitch. The lock down handles on the adapter are a little week (they will bend if not careful needed to be heat treated). Once installed in the truck your good to go and cant tell its even there. Mine stays in the truck all summer so I am not removing it on a regular basis.
Thanks for the help with getting the adapter. This is how the job ended up with the under bed mount and adapter to the standard fifth wheel.
Ron G - 04/01/2015My new F350 didn't have the under bed 5th wheel mount and I didn't want to use the rails that bolt across the bed. I bought the Reese under bed parts, Reese adapter, new legs for the hitch and a bed mat and installed it myself. I drilled through the dimples in the bed, bolted in the under bed parts and everything lined up nice. Since I went from a short bed to a long bed I didn't need the slider legs so I replaced them with fixed legs. When the hitch and adapter are out of the bed, nothing is in the way on the floor. I like it.
Slid right in to place as advertised. Receiver unit mounted right on with ease. Less expensive and still the highest quality. I pull a 16000 pound unit. Thanks for your help.
Easy to remove and re-install. The down side is the above bed box vs the rail system adds an extra height which elevates the nose of our 38 foot 5th wheel TH above level for hauling. another point you should know if you do purchase this item make sure that you inspect the hardware carefully - really carefully ! the lock handles x 2 times had slag in the threads. with the assistance of etrailer Reese sent me a replacement set which were worse than the first ones. Reese then paid me to get the threads cleaned out.
Reese's Under Rail Adapter RP30156 is very easy to assemble and to install. Instructions provided are well written reducing the assemble time to les than five minutes. Installation took longer due to the snug fit between the trucks underbed rails and the adapter's pins. Etrailer's delivery time is outstanding as well as their customer support team. They were very helpful in identifying the correct adapter match.
Just installed the Reese Rail Adapter in my 2015 Ford F-350. It fits the factory 5th wheel prep package perfectly. The only issue I had was with fine tuning the latches (trial and error) but even so, this was a breeze to install (15-20 minutes). As always the shipping is FAST! I had the kit at my door two days after ordering.
Great product, great price. Easy to assemble, and fit right into my factory Ford puck system as it should. Simplified my delima of what to do with my hitch after trading in my old truck, and refitting to my new truck.
This Reese 5th wheel adapter was easy to assemble and install. And it let me use my old hitch. This adapter raises the hitch up 2 3/4 inches, which worked out perfert for me as my 2021 Ford F350 has taller bed rails/tailgate and a new underbed hitch would not be tall enough to give me enough clearance.
Brandi was very helpful and made sure I ordered the right part. I would highly recommend ordering from eTrailer.
It was hard to tell from the pictures but this item uses the handles to rotate the locking clevis and is as easily removable as the OEM equipment! The fit was fantastic and assembly only took about 15 minutes. Big savings being able to continue using my Pro series 15k.
Fit right into the truck mounting system. Covid stopped us from camping last year, not sure how it pulls the trailer
We had our dealer install the RP30156. They were more than satisfied with the product. We had a 2014 F350 and installed this to make our Reese 5th wheel hitch work in our 2018 F350.
I installed this adapter in my 2019 F-350 Super Duty Long bed. I won’t kid you, you need some patience when it comes to adjusting it to fit your truck. Each mount hole seemed to be at a different height thanks to Ford. But it took all of about 20 mins to assemble and install. Fits great once you set the depth adjustments. Will see how it does towing this afternoon.
I purchased a Reese Elite Series Underbed Rail Adapter for Standard 5th Wheel Trailer Hitches to adapt my old 5th wheel hitch to my new Ford truck. It arrived promptly after ordering, assembled easily, and works great. It was a great reasonably priced alternative to a $1000+ new hitch made for the under bed rail system in the new Ford trucks. Very pleased with the product and with etrailer.
Geoff b - 11/12/2019Very easy to install, I didn't curse or throw a tool putting it together! It really looks good with my old hitch in my new 2012 F-350 Lariat. I haven't towed my RV as of yet, but I will let y'all know how that goes when we go camping next weekend. Attached are some pics.
Good product. Easy build easy install. Suggestion, you might want to offer the 1.5 inch socket with the purchase. They r a bit hard to come by. Old hitch an easy fit.
Great Price, Fast free Shipping, Phone ordered and etrailer was excellent with fitment applications. Ordered this for my 2017 F-350 which has the Ford 5th wheel prep package. It assembles easy with clear instructions and tips for mounting. Sturdy, strong and durable. Easy to remove when not towing. Great product from the great people at etrailer. Saved me the money to replace my entire 5th wheel hitch. I kept my Reese 16K hitch which mounts to this adapter. Thanks etrailer!!!
Brent B - 08/27/2018Order came in timely manor. Minor assembly required to assemble. Fit perfectly into my 2021 F350 factory puck system and also my Pullright Superglide 5th wheel hitch connected to it great.
Works great! Fit my trucks gooseneck/fifth wheel prep package perfectly + got to keep my Reese 16k fifth wheel hitch without spending hundreds of dollars on a new one. If you have a gooseneck/fifth wheel prep package and want to keep your current fifth wheel hitch then you should consider buying this! There was a small hiccup on my order where I got a wrong part with my order, I called customer service at etrailer and they took care of that issue right away and in 3-4 days I had the right part. Thank you etrailer for everything you do!
etrailer has a great site, easy to find products, shipping is fast. The 5th wheel rail adapter is a quality product. I purchased a new Ford F-350 with the Ford built in 5th wheel and gooseneck options. I didn’t want to spend another $1,800 to purchase the Ford products for it. etrailer solved the problem. Now I can use my 5th wheel and gooseneck attachments. Thanks Guys.
