Installing Industry Standard Rail Compatible 5th Wheel Hitch on 2017 Silverado 3500 with OEM Pucks

Question:

I am considering trading trucks. I have a 2012 Silverado and use a 20K Reese 5th wheel hitch. I am looking at a 2017 Silverado 3500 that is 5th wheel prepped. Can you tell me whatI need to be able to continue to use my 5th wheel.

The Reese 20K hitch from your 2012 Silverado, assuming it uses industry standard mounting rails mounted to the bed floor can be used on a 2017 Silverado 3500 by using the Demco # DM6194 adapter. The adapter installs in the housing for the gooseneck ball, and provide a set of industry standard bed rails for your hitch to attach to.

Unfortunately, Reese doesn't offer a leg kit like what's used on the # RP30918 hitch that's compatible with the GM puck system.

I've linked to a product demonstration video that you might find helpful.
