Is 2012 Chevy Silverado Available with Factory Fifth Wheel Prep for M5 Series Fifth Wheel Hitch
Question:
Does 2012 Chevrolet Silverado 3500 4x4 come from the factory prepped for the M5 Hitch, similar to Ford?
asked by: Bill T
Expert Reply:
I spoke with my contact at Cequent Towing Products, who manufactures the system for Ford. They are not aware of any Chevy factory provided package that allows instant installation of the M5 series like that available from Ford.
Rumors have been circulating for some time that a similar system will be available as a factory option from Chevy, but neither I nor my contact at Cequent have anything more concrete than that.
To install a Reese M5 Series hitch on that particular vehicle, the Elite Series Fifth Wheel Hitch Install Kit, part # RP30868 install kit would be needed.
I have provided a link to the instructions for the install kit.
