Fifth Wheel Rail Kit Recommendation for a 2016 Chevy Silverado 2500HD
Question:
I own a 2016 Chevrolet 2500 short box. I would like to use a Reese sidewinder on my 2003 Taho Transport toy hauler. I have a conventional hitch to put on over the bed rails. My question is 2 parts: 1: which abovethe bed custom rail kit do I need? 2: which sidewinder box fits my camper? Thanks for your help

Expert Reply:
For a Reese custom fit fifth wheel rail kit confirmed as a fit for your 2016 Chevy Silverado 2500 you would want the # RP50066-58. This will minimize drilling and install time when compared to a universal kit.
Sidewinders are pin box specific so you will first need to know what pin box you have now in order to pick out the correct one.
There should be a sticker or a stamping on the OEM pin box of the trailer that will list the pin box number that is on the trailer.
Once you figure out which pin box you have you can check the FAQ I attached that has a chart that shows the correct Sidewinder to get based on which pin box you have.
