Reese Fifth Wheel Rail Kit to Fit 2019 Chevy Silverado 1500 Short Bed

Question:

I am planning to move my 5th wheel hitch from my existing 2014 Chev truck to a new 2019 Chevrolet Silverado 1500. The hitch is a Reese 15k kwik-slide. I planned to order the #30439 Universal Rail Mounting Hardware. This is the kit I used for my 2014 truck. Is this kit compatible with the new 2019 Silverado 1500? thanks,

You'll need a new rail kit for your 2019 Chevy Silverado 1500 but you can use your Reese Kwik Slide 15k hitch that you already have still. You'll need the rail kit part # RP56015-53 which is an outboard style rail kit for your truck. The rails you currently have are the inboard style and there isn't a bracket kit that allows them to fit your truck since it was redesigned.
