Recommended Underbed Rail System for 2015 Chevy Silverado 3500 and Curt A20 5th Wheel Hitch
Question:
Good Morning, I have a 2015 Silverado 3500HD with an 8foot bed. I am interested in the Curt A20 5th wheel hitch but would prefer an underbed rail system. Is there an aftermarket underbed rail system that would fit my truck custom fit prefered rather than a universal fit requiring frame drilling that is compatible with the Curt A20? Thanks for any help.

For your 2015 Chevy Silverado 3500, I recommend the Under-Bed Rail and Installation Kit for Reese Elite Series 5th Wheel Trailer Hitches # RP30868. This will look like the OEM puck system but the puck dimensions will actually match up with the Ford OEM system puck dimension/locations. So, you will want either the Curt A20 5th Wheel Trailer Hitch with Ford OEM Legs # C16034 for the cleanest application or the adapter # RP30156 and hitch # C16140.
I also recommend the wiring harness # C56000 which will allow you to install a 2nd 7-way trailer connection to the inside of your bed to allow for easier wiring connection and a clean look.
If you are okay with above the bed rails but want to avoid drilling into the frame, you can use the Curt custom kit # C16411-204 which will utilize your existing frame holes for installation in your 2015 Chevy 3500.
