Reese hitch

I wasn't happy with Reese either. I had a Reese Elite hitch. Nothing but problems trying to unhook. Jaw would not release easily. Dealer replaced head assemble under warranty. Sold it shortly after. Now I use a Husky. It works effortlessly.
If you use a picture frame adapter wouldn't any standard hitch work?

Any other options available for Ram prep and Revolution pinbox without picture frame adapter ,looked at Curt but won't work with Revolution

7 years or so ago I had a Reese slider with my old 5th wheel. I just got a new 5th and a B/W companion and the term night and day doesn't even come close. The Reese was a total PITA at every operation - needed a mallet to pound the safety pin in place. Latching and unlatching was difficult and inaccurate. I never knew if the thing was locked or not. The B/W runs like a Swiss watch. Every function is smooth and sure. Granted my Reese was a few years back so who knows if it's still the same. Just be ready for the old saying you get what you pay for.

What he said. Same story for me except I got a new truck instead of a new 5er. Everything else is my experience.

Looking at getting a new fiver 8526RLWS with revolution pin box. TV is Ram 2500 with factory prep. Hoping someone has used the 30160 Reese hitch and can comment thanks in advance

I have the same hitch head. I have the Ram factory prep ,but I am using the reese picture frame to in order to use my existing hitch, a Reese slider, basically the same hitch you are asking about.


Its been a great hitch . Easy to hitch ,and unhitch. Solid, no clunking, very quiet hitch
