How to Use the Reese M5 Hitch in Two Different Trucks

Question:

Id like to get the Reese 5th wheel hitch. I have two trucks a 2003 Chevy Silverado 2500 4x4 6 .0 motor and a 2012 ram 2500 4x4 diesel 6.7L. Is their a frame mounting kit I can get for each truck to go under the bed so I can swap it back and forth?

Yes. The correct underbed mounting kits for your trucks that work with the Reese M5 Series # RP30921 are listed below:

2012 Ram 2500 Underbed # RP30074 (works with both 6-1/2' and 8' beds)
2003 Silverado 2500 Underbed # RP30061 (works only with 6-1/2' bed)

Unfortunately we do not have an underbed mounting kit for Reese Elite that fits the 2003 Chevy Silverado with the 8' bed. If your 2003 Silverado has the 8ft bed, your best bet is to go with a different 5th wheel hitch. If that is the case, let me know and I can find a solution.
