Recommended In-Bed 7-Way for 2018 Chevy Silverado 3500

Question

Question:

I have a 2018 Chevy 3500. I want to put a trailer plug inside the bed. Do you have one that will just plug into my wires under the bed. That way I don’t have to cut and splice. Thanks

You can use the Curt E16 fifth wheel hitch part #C16115 in the bed of your 2018 Chevy Silverado with the OEM pucks but you would need to use the adapter part #C47BR which converts the pucks to the rail kit style this hitch needs.

I checked with GEN-Y and they were able to get me the distance from the top bolt hole of the #GY48GR down to the bottom of the coupler which you can see in the attached picture as well as a few other dimensions. It's 23.8 inches. It does not come…
