Speaker 1: Today, we're going to take a look at the Reese Quick-Install Custom Base Rails and installation kit for Fifth Wheel trailer hitches. This is a custom fit part. It is designed to fit the 2015 and newer Ford F-150 trucks. On a custom fit part, I always like to recommend for you to go to our website, use our fit guide, put in your year and model vehicle and it'll show you if this will work for your application.These custom brackets here are designed to mount beneath your truck bed. They provide the attachment points for the Fifth Wheel base rails to attach to. These are vehicle specific brackets, which will mount to existing holes in your vehicle's frame.
This will help minimize drilling and measuring, and it will cut your installation time in half, when compared with the universal bracket systems.The base rails, these two right here, these are what will sit in your truck bed. They allow the installation of your Fifth Wheel trailer hitch to your vehicle. The kit will include the custom brackets, all the hardware to install it. Nice set of detailed instructions and other nice features. They include these galvanic isolator strips.
These are designed to install between the steel base rails and the aluminum truck bed to avoid any corrosion.These rails will work with the Curt, the Draw Tite, the Hidden Hitch, Husky, Reese, and Valley brand Fifth Wheels, and most standard Fifth Wheel hitches. They will not fit the Reese elite series or the Valley UVS hitches. As you'll notice, these are a nice, sturdy steel construction. Have a nice black powder coat finish to them to help resist corrosion. That should do it for the review on the Reese Quick-Install Custom Base Rails and installation kit for Fifth Wheel trailer hitches..

Custom brackets reduce the amount of drilling and time required to install your fifth-wheel trailer hitch. Brackets, base rails and hardware included.This kit was definitely worth the money and I’d buy it again. I installed it myself in my 2018 F150 to tow my gooseneck. (I have a custom gooseneck hitch made for the rails) The heaviest I weighed across a scale was 26,000lbs and this kit never gave me an issue. I highly recommend, you won’t be disappointed.
Overall- I am satisfied with the brackets and rails. I use them to attach a 15k Reese sliding hitch to which I attach a short 5th wheel (K-Z 231RK Sportsmen) behind that I tow my boat. The rails and custom brackets have done very well while towing. My only complaint is accessing 4 of the nuts that hold the rails in place. The nuts are difficult to access from under the bed. They are located between the frame rail and bed, not much room to work and traditional sockets won't fit. I ended up using wrenches that attach to a ratchet, in this case my torque wrench.
This product worked out perfectly. My son, using instructions from etrailer, installed the rails in our new-to-us Ford F-150 in Massachusetts before we drove about 3,000 miles to Edmonton, AB to pick up a new-to-us fifth wheel trailer and Anderson hitch. I was a little apprehensive that it wouldn’t fit. No need. It dropped in exactly as it should. We hitched up the fifth wheel and drove back without incident. We have had only good experiences buying from etrailer.
Have had no trouble with my e trailer. 5th wheel quick install. Been a great product.
Excellent hitch and super easy to insta ll!!
I spent a whole day installing the Reese 16k hitch and custom quick mounting rails in a 2020 F150. Video was great and I advise you to watch it a couple of times before installing. Paper instructions not so good. If you have a 36 gallon fuel tank, I recommend you to do this install on a lift. I do not recommend you to install on your garage floor especially if you are 67 years old, still sore from laying on my back. You must remove spare tire and heat shield. I installed with tires on and very tight working around large fuel tank area. Going on a test drive to see if everything holds together.
I recently purchased a Reese Quick-Install Custom Installation Kit w/ Base Rails for 5th Wheel Trailer Hitches Item # RP50087-58. Prior to this purchase I bought a similar item for a different vehicle from e-trailer. I have purchased other items and have requested information by phone and email as well. Every experience I have had with e-trailer has been excellent. I have found ease of ordering, availability, delivery time, price, service, and the quality of the products to be very good. E-trailer is one of the best companies I have ever experienced.
Item was exactly what I needed. Arrived promptly and was packaged well. Would not hesitate to order from your company again. Thank you.
The Rails I installed my self and they where easy to do. They are of good quality and I am very happy with them. They are still looking good with no rust on them after 1 year (I live in Michigan and the winters are a little ruff some times here) I have used them about 15-20 times and have had no issue with putting the hitch in and out of the truck. The pins always line up good each time.
Just received my Reese rail system. My wife and I plan on doing some travel so I needed a hitch for our new 5th wheel trailer. It came exactly when Crystal K said it would. Packages were in great shape. I read lots of reviews about how most packages were damaged. Crystal K was extremely knowledgable and helpful with my selection. This is my first purchase from etrailer but it won't be the last! I will share more on my experience that I have with the product once I install my hitch. Thank you and thank Crystal K also please.

Quick fast ordering and shipping, good diagram showing parts and assembly but the printed instructions were hard to follow when it came to installing the shims and how to install the anti corrosion tape since I had an aluminum box in my truck. The instructions called for mounting both base plate using 5 -1/2" bolts to mount each plate but only 2 bolts for the rear plate actually fastened to the lower brackets and 4 for the front plate. The other bolts just went through the box with a shim washer and the aluminum box to hold it in place. But all in all its a good product that needs a little tweaking for the instructions. maybe a link with a video?
It was easy to install would have been better if they would have had measurements for the front mounting bar.
This company is the best. When we bought a hitch mount it was short one piece we needed one simple call and they sent it right out. Thanks a bunch I will use this company from now on,Bruce
The installation went very well on my 2017 ford F150. I have a 36 gallon tank so the left side was a little tough but I was able to get it very happy with your product thanks again ...
Everything fits and installs well, except there should be a wider selection of spacers to fit the corrugations of the truck bed.
Good kit excellent price
This was a lot easier installation the one I did on a 2014 GMC. The package had broken on shipment and the bolts were missing. However, the company sent out replacement bolts right away.
answered all my questions, even called the factory to make sure the rail kit for my Raptor truck would fit. Great customer service.
I was a little nervous about the product initially because it was such a great price. I was pleasantly surprised with the product and service. Quality parts. Instructions were detailed and easy to follow. Parts came about 4 days earlier than I expected and the price was great. I will be doing business with these folks in the future.
Sorry for the.late.reply, I am very happy with the hitch and.equipmemt that was bought from retailer , I even had.my son buy from you.
