Today we're going to look at the Reese quick install custom outboard brackets for fifth wheeled trailer hitches. This is a custom fit part. This is designed to fit the 2015 and newer Ford F150 trucks. On a custom fit part I always like to recommend to go to our website, use our fit guide, put in your year and model vehicle, and it will show you if this will work for your application. These installation brackets will mount beneath your truck bed and out side the trucks frame and it provides the attachment points for the fifth wheel rails. These are designed to work with the extended length base rails that will sit in your truck bed and allow installation of your fifth wheeled trailer hitch. Those extended length base rails we do sell separately on our website.
They are part number RP30153. This is a fast simple installation that has the outboard design. Basically what is, is these brackets which will sit below the bed and outside your trucks frame along with those extended rails result in a much simpler installation process. Because you're working outside the frame rails most of the under bed components can be easily avoided and you also have easier access with your tools and more room to work. It makes the whole process of installation a lot less of a pain.
These custom outboard brackets will mount to existing holes in your trailers frame. You can see the holes in them. They will minimize drilling and measuring. It cuts down the installation time by more than about half compared with the universal bracket systems. This kid does include both brackets. It includes all the grade 8 mounting hardware, a nice set of detailed instructions, and the finish on these is a sturdy black powder coat steel which will help resist corrosion.
That should do it for the review on the Reese quick install custom outboard brackets for fifth wheel trailer hitches.

Review from a similar Quick-Install in Accessories and Parts
Five hours to install; which included a half hour searching for the key to the padlock on my spare. E-Trailer linked me to an installation video which really helped. I took my time and measured three times before I drilled the bed. Installation is a lot easier with someone to hold the bolts from the top. I fabricated mounting brackets on my last truck, but these were worth the money and I didn't have to drill the frame! Good design and straight-forward installation. My only issue was the video didn't show one bolt install that secured the driver's side rear bracket to the bottom of the frame. I was going off the video only and wasn't using the written instructions. Make sure you go step by step using both. Also, some parts are clearly for a different application so there will be a few parts left over. My experience with e-trailer was awesome.

Very happy how soon the product I ordered was at my door step. 3 days after I ordered it. Put the base to my 5th wheel on my 2017 250 diesel sd took me around 5 hrs, would have been faster with 2 people. The base fit my husky 16k prefect when I done torquing all the bolts. Going to use this hitch to pull my 29.5 Durango EZ 1500.

They fit truck just like they were supposed too. Couple hr install with having to remove spare tire and heat shields to get access to bolt locations. Been supporting fifth wheel through thousands of miles. Thanks for helping me find right product for my truck!

Review from a similar Quick-Install in Accessories and Parts
Can’t use the carriage bolts that you supplied, except in the middle of the rail. There’s no room to put a socket on the nut between the beam and bed, there’s just enough room to use an open end wrench and torque the bolts from the bed side, Which means you have to buy 8 bolts. A video stated the same thing, you believe it’s a one man’s job, it’s not. That’s why you supplied the carriage bolts.

We ordered a bracket kit for our new 2017 F350. It was needed to install our Reese fifth wheel. which we use to pull our RV. Product was on back order by manufacturer, however Delisa at Etrailer diligently kept us very informed with updates & shipping status. My husband & son were able to install in a couple of hours. Looks great, outstanding craftsmanship & over exceeded our expectations! We would highly recommend!!!!!

Review from a similar Quick-Install in Accessories and Parts
The kit arrived within a few days-very happy about that. very easy to install. the directions were clear and pictures good. I went to the trouble of using a sharpie to mark the part numbers on everything before I started just to keep to all straight.
I would note that on the 2017 F350 diesel the only problem bolt was on the driver side inline with the DEF tank. long skinny arms with flexible wrist is ideal (not what I have). I would also suggest taping the shims onto the outboard frame brackets to save yourself some frustrations. otherwise they are difficult to get and keep in place, especially on the driver side.
the two nuts that go inside the frame tube come on/with a nice handle although a bit light on the wield. here again save yourself and tape the shims on before you try to insert two things into that hole, align and fasten the bolt-by yourself. I used an extension with wobble head and socket to turn the bolt while holding the nut "assembly" in place.
I did remove the rear wheels and fender well liner-a must.
Lastly, great customer service on the phone. Pleasant and patient answering questions.

Very easy to install. Measure twice, drill once. I used every piece of galvanic corrosion tape to protect the aluminum bed in the kit, probably could have used a little more. Even though I painted the edge of the holes after drilling, maybe some sort of insulator could be used there also.

Easy to install & worked well with the rest of the hitch.

Installing 2017 5th wheel brackets and rails . Thankyou for your service in sending me the right parts for my F250 . Took about 4 hrs to install and all holes were perfect in the side brackets . Just had to drill for the rail. I’d recommend your service...

Hi, George. Thanks for your email. I bought the frame rails to marry up with my Reese hitch and I wasn't disappointed. It installed on my 2003 f250 perfectly and hooked up to the 5th wheel without a problem.
