Will the Curt E16 5th Wheel Trailer Hitch with Rails Fit a 2000 Chevy Silverado 2500
Question:
I have a question about the fifth wheel hitch e16 with rails and mounting hardware included. My truck is a 2000 Silverado 2500 LS 6.0L. Not HD. Just wanted to make sure this Universal set up will fit my frame. The body style LS was not offered on the website. It only said LT or LD. The trailer Im towing is only 32 ft double axle and weighs about 5800 lb. I appreciate the help if any.

The Curt E16 5th Wheel Trailer Hitch w/ Rails and Universal Installation Kit part # C16116 is a fit for a 2000 Chevrolet Silverado 2500, both LD (6-Lug) and HD (8-Lug) models. Please note, LD and HD refers to the chassis whereas LS is just a trim level and will not affect fit. You will have either an LD or HD model regardless of trim level but the kit fits both so there will be no issues.
