Fifth Wheel Hitch Recommendation for 2017 Chevy Silverado 2500 with Factory Rail Kit
Question:
I traded my ford with factory Reese hitch for a 2017 Chev 2500 with 6 1/2 ft bed. I didnt know the new truck had factory puck system so I ordweed from you a 30868 under bed rail system and have received it. Now that I have the new truck with factory system my Reese wont fit. Do I need the Q 24 code C16545-16025? The Reese is 18K... I pull a 37 foot Crossroads 5th wheel. Could I return the 30868 and but the Q 24... or what do you recommend? The puck spacing is not as wide or deed on the Chev as the Ford. Thank you

Expert Reply:
The Curt Q24 Fifth Wheel hitch part # C16545-16025 is the correct fifth wheel hitch to fit the factory rail kit of your 2017 Chevy Silverado 2500. This is a stationary hitch though and you have a short bed truck so you would want a slider to give you the needed turning clearance.
For that you would need the adapter part # C16023 and then the Curt slider hitch part # C16546. I would recommend returning the hitch you have for this setup.
