The fifth wheel hitch will fit as long as you have an industry standard base rail in your new truck.

If you're needing to get rails for your new truck I recommend the Curt Custom Fifth Wheel Installation Kit - Carbide Finish Item # C16444-204. They are compatible with B&W, Curt, Demco, Draw-Tite, Hidden Hitch, Husky, Reese, and Valley 5th-wheel hitches and since they are a custom fit the brackets will mount to the existing holes in your vehicle's frame.
