Hitch and Rail Kit Recommendation for 2015 Chevy Silverado 1500 5.5 ft Bed Towing Flagstaff 524RLBS
Question:
I have a 1500 Chevy Silverado with a 5’8” bed. I’m looking to buy a Flagstaff 524RLBS WITH A Reese Revolution pin. What hitch and rail kit do you recommend

Expert Reply:
The Reese 16k fifth wheel hitch part # RP30047 would work great for you to tow your Flagstaff 524RLBS with a Revolution box with your 2015 Chevy Silverado 1500 5-1/2 foot bed. Then for a rail kit the best option is a custom install kit like the Reese part # RP50064-58 which will minimize drilling and install time over a universal kit.
Then for a custom wedge to fit the Reese hitch to the Revolution you'd want the part # SWW-03.
For a 7-way to install in the bed of your truck to make connecting your trailer lights easier you would want the part # 41157. Most 7-ways will be at the rear of the truck near the bumper which doesn't work will with fifth wheel hitches. This kit installs in line with the 7-way at the rear of your truck and gives you a second one to install in the bed.
