Will Demco Rail Adapter DM6194 Allow Installation of Reese 16K Slider Hitch RP30869
Question:
I have a 2018 GMC 2500HD with the factory installed 5th Wheel Prep Package, and a Reese R16 5th Wheel Round Tube Slider Hitch. Is the DM6194 the correct adapter? Thanks.

Expert Reply:
Yes, for a 2018 GMC Sierra short-bed with the factory 5th wheel rail kit you can use Demco Rail Adapter for Chevy/GMC # DM6194 to allow installation of an industry-standard 5th wheel hitch like your Reese 16K Slider # RP30051.
The adapter provides the equivalent of industry-standard above-bed base rails like those required by your Reese hitch.
