Custom Fit 5th Wheel Trailer Hitch Installation Kit for a 2007 Chevy Silverado 2500HD New Body Style
Question:
Will this part fit my 2007 Chevrolet Silverado 2500HD new body? The Reese website does not show it will. Thank you.

If you are on the Reese website, you have to search for 50064 or go through the fit guide and it will come up. The Reese Quick-Install Custom Base Rails and Installation Kit, # RP50064-58, does fit the 2007 Chevy Silverado 2500HD new body style short and long beds. I have included a link to the installation details and a link to a video showing a typical installation.
If you need a trailer hitch, for a long bed I recommend the Reese 16K, # RP30047. This is a popular hitch that performs well. If you have a short bed, you will need a slider hitch. I recommend a round tube slider, # RP30075 because they offer 12 inches of travel for additional clearance when making tight turns. Both hitches are rated for 16,000 pounds gross trailer weight but you should choose a hitch based on the gross weight of the trailer when loaded and ready to tow.
