How to Install Underbed Curt Q20 Slider Hitch in 2019 GMC Sierra 3500 without OEM Rail Kit

Question:

I need some help. I recently purchased and installed the Reese Elite Underbed Rail Kit (RP30868) on my 2019 GMC 3500 short bed pickup. I now need to purchase a complementary 5th wheel hitch to mate with the underbed rail kit. I'd like to purchase the B&W (BWRVK3370) 5th wheel hitch. Can you please confirm that the BWRVK3370 is the complementary mate to the RP30868? I have received conflicting information from eTrailer experts and I just need a definitive answer prior to purchase.

We have underbed rail kit and hitch options that fit your 2019 GMC Sierra 3500 short bed that does not have the OEM rail kit but we don't have a way to install a Curt hitch for the OEM GM rail kit as we don't carry that exact rail design.

Closest option we have would be the Reese Elite Underbed Rail Kit part # RP30868 with the Curt Ford UnderBed Q20 Slider Hitch part # C16530-16020. The rail kit from Reese is designed to fit your truck and since Reese makes the Ford rail kit the Ford OEM hitches like the Q20 slider I mentioned fit it perfectly. So this gives you the Q20 slider you want and an underbed solution so it would be exactly what you're looking for.

We have just what you need to install a B and W Companion slider in the bed of your truck that you installed the Reese Elite rails in with the # BWRVK3370 that you mentioned. This will fit the Elite rails perfectly and is the best hitch option to fit the rails you have so it will work great too.
