Recommended 5th Wheel Trailer Hitch For 2018 Chevrolet Silverado 2500
Question:
I have a 2018 Chevrolet Silverado 2500HD and just want to confirm compatibility with the C16521 hitch. The truck bed came with a factory installed sprayed on liner, will this have an impact on the installation? Can you give me an idea of how fast this hitch would ship? I will need the hitch and custom installation kit.

Expert Reply:
The Curt A16 5th Wheel Trailer Hitch w/ R16 Slider # C16521 is confirmed to fit your 2018 Chevrolet Silverado 2500 if you have a 6-1/2 Foot Bed. Since you don't have the factory-installed rail kit our custom installation kit # C16411-204 is required.
As long as the bolts through the rails are torqued properly there should be no issue with a spray in bed liner.
The Recommended Trailer Wiring is the Curt 5th Wheel/Gooseneck Custom Wiring Harness # C56000.
If you have 8 foot bed, it uses the same kit # C16411-204. .
