Slider Fifth Wheel Hitch to Replace Valley Slider Hitch in 2011 Chevy Silverado
Question:
I already have 5th wheel and rails installed on my 2011 Chevrolet 2500 short bed. The old 5th wheel I have is a Valley 7053 - 15,000 lbs. I would like to order a new 5th wheel hitch. I would like to buy a new hitch without replacing the rails that I already have installed on my truck. Any suggestions ?

Expert Reply:
The rails you have in the bed of your truck that work with the Valley hitch already have are considered industry standard fifth wheel rails which means they are compatible with several fifth wheel hitches like the Pro Series Hitch part # PS30121 that you referenced.
Since the round tube sliders operate much smoother I would recommend the part # RP30075 instead though as it is the same head essentially mounted on a round tube slider.
