Question:
Will the reese M5 fifth wheel hitch 30895 fit into the reese elite gooseneck hitch 30158-68 on a 2018 chevy 3500?

Expert Reply:
No, the Reese # RP30895 will not fit. But we do have a solution.
The Reese # RP30158-68 Under-bed Gooseneck complete hitch uses pucks that with the same spacing as the Ford factory pucks (because Reese originally developed the Ford Puck systems, they can use the patents).
So, although it might seem contradictory, you'd use the Reese M5 hitch for the Ford OEM puck system, which is part # RP30921 for the 20K model or # RP30922 for the 27K capacity model. Keep in mind though, the Reese # RP30158-68 capacity maxes out at 25K, so even though the # RP30922 hitch has a 27K capacity, the actual capacity will be limited to the 25K capacity of the # RP30158-68.
If you'd like to install a 7-way in the truck bed so you don't have to run the trailer connector cable up and over the tailgate, you can do so using part # C56000.
