How Does Curt Adapter and Hitch Install in 2016 Chevy Silverado with Factory 5th Wheel Prep Package
Question:
I have a 2016 Silverado HD 6.5 bed/ Gas with the factory puck system. My camper is 8500lbs. Will the following kit work for me? Curt E16 5th Wheel Trailer Hitch w/ R16 Roller - Slide Bar Jaw - 16,000 lbs Adapter Rails for Curt 5th Wheel Hitch w/ Slider - Chevy/GMC Towing Prep Package I have looked all over the internet and cant find an installation video for puck systems.From what I can see it looks as though the adapter plate just clicks in and the 5th wheel sits on top and thats it??

Helpful Expert Reply:
Adapter # C16023 for your 2016 Chevy Silverado 2500 with the factory prep package has 4 T-bolts that fit down in the pucks. Then you close the handle for each of the bolts so they turn and lock into place down in the pucks under the bed.
The hitch, # 16516 in this case, sets on the adapter and pins into it just like if it were sitting in regular above the bed rails. I have linked videos on both parts for you.
