  • Underbed 5th Wheel Install Kit for Reese Signature Series 24K Hitch in 2015 Chevy Silverado 3500
  • The correct under-bed 5th wheel install kit for your 2015 Chevy Silverado 3500 to accept your Signature Series 24K hitch is indeed the # RP30868 that you referenced. You will also need adapter kit # RP58419. If your Silverado has bumper-mounted 7-way trailer wiring already you may just need a harness for the truck bed for connection to your 5th wheel. You can use Hopkins # 41157 which plugs in at the existing 7-way and provides 10-feet of harness to reach up to your truck bed.

  • Which B&W Turnoverball Gooseneck Hitch for 2020 Chevy Silverado 3500 Cab and Chassis Flatbed
  • I have a solution for you, but the B&W Turnoverball # BWGNRK1020 cannot be fitted to a cab and chassis flatbed; mounting a gooseneck hitch to a flatbed requires that the hitch be welded to the frame of the vehicle by a certified welder. With that said, you can have the B&W Turnoverball for Flatbed Trucks # BWGNRK1500 welded to the frame of the truck for gooseneck trailer towing. B&W parts are made in the USA and renowned for their quality and durability, so it's a great choice for your...

  • Do I Need a Sliding Hitch for a 2021 Chevy Silverado 3500 Short Bed
  • In most cases with older trailers with short bed trucks, a sliding hitch is going to be required to keep the nose of the trailer from contacting the truck cab during a tight turn; newer trailers have been better at creating v-nose type construction at the front, which reduces the instances in which a sliding hitch is needed. If you decide that you don't need a sliding hitch for your 2021 Silverado 3500 with the OEM prep package you can use the B&W Companion hitch # BWRVK3710 (20k capacity)...

  • Parts Needed to Flat Tow 2016 Chevrolet Silverado 3500 High Country

Both will have 4WD high and low settings indicated by up or down arrows and both will have a neutral position.
