Recommended 5th Wheel Hitch And Rails To Be Used With Revolution Pin Box On 2016 GMC Sierra 1500SLE

Question:

We are looking to purchase a 2017 Jayco Eagle HT 28.5RSTS 5th wheel. It will be towed by a 2016 GMC Sierra 1500SLE with max towing package. The trailer is equipped with a Reeses Revolution pin box. I would like to be able to remove the hitch from the bed when not in use. Can you recommend a Reese hitch to pair with the Revolution that is 16K max and that is most secure and as quiet as possible? Thanks

For your 2016 GMC Sierra 1500SLE, I recommend using the Reese Titan 20 5th Wheel Trailer Hitch - Serrated Dual Jaw - 20,000 lbs # RP30867. This hitch has a serrated dual-jaw design for superior hold, a built-in vibration-isolator system, and a easy-to-see king pin indicator. These unique systems ensure a smooth ride with minimal jarring and chucking.

For a custom fit rail kit, I recommend the Reese Quick-Install Custom Base Rails and Installation Kit for 5th Wheel Trailer Hitches # RP50064-58. The custom brackets mount to your frame using existing holes to minimize drilling and measuring. These custom brackets connect the frame to the base rails for your 5th wheel hitch. All of the hardware needed is included. I've attached a video of the installation to help.

I also recommend the Sidewinder Wedge for Reese Titan 5th Wheel Trailer Hitches # RP30865. This is a custom fit for a revolution pin box and this hitch for maximum security and functionality.
