Recommended 5th Wheel Hitch and Underbed Installation Kit for 2016 Chevy Silverado 2500 HD Short Bed

Question:

First time 5th wheel owner. Wanted to know what the best setup would be for my 2016 Chevy 2500 HD with 6-1/2’ bed. Would like to have the use of my bed when 5th wheel is not in use. Thx

I recommend using the Reese M5 5th Wheel Trailer Hitch for Ford Towing Prep Package - Single Jaw - 20,000 lbs # RP30921 and Underbed Installation Kit # RP30868. The Reese Elite is a high quality sliding hitch, which is required with your short bed truck to provide clearance from the cab when making tight turns. The Underbed installation kit will provide you with the clean truck bed you're looking for, so this is a great setup for your 2016 Chevy Silverado 2500.

I've linked a review and installation video of this hitch and underbed kit for you to have a look at.
