Fifth Wheel Hitch Recommendation for 2014 Chevy Silverado with Puck System in Bed of Truck
Question:
Hello, We purchased a used 2014 Chevy 3500 with a 5th wheel puck system installed. The dealer thinks it is EOM, but not sure of the system Brand. We have a 5th wheel, and need to purchase the hitch for the truck. No one has been able to help us at the car dealership, the trailer dealership, or a trailer parts store.

Expert Reply:
Chevy didn't make an OEM fifth wheel rail kit for their trucks in 2014 so if you have what looks like a puck rail system it's most likely that you have a set of Reese Elite rails like the part # RP30868 installed. Which then you'd just need the Reese Elite Slider hitch part # RP30144 which will fit the pucks directly and give you a slider hitch that will also allow you the needed turning clearance.
I attached a picture of what the puck system should look like if you had the Elite rails. If what you have looks different email me back a picture and I'll see if I can identify it.
