Expert Reply:
If your 2016 Chevrolet Silverado 2500 came with the factory in bed prep/puck system you will only need the B&W Companion OEM 5th Wheel Hitch w/ Slider # BWRVK3770. This 5th wheel hitch drops into the 4 outer factory mounting holes already in your bed.
If you do not have the factory in bed prep/puck system on your Silverado you will need the B&W Turnoverball Underbed Gooseneck Trailer Hitch # BWGNRK1016 and B&W Companion Slider Gooseneck-to-5th-Wheel Trailer Hitch Adapter # BWRVK3400 to pull your Montana 5th wheel. The Hopkins Endurance 5th Wheel/Gooseneck 90-Degree Wiring Harness # 41157 will add an additional 7-way in your bed for the 5th wheel harness to plug into rather than risk damaging the bumper 7-way when maneuvering your Montana.
