Reese Fifth Wheel Hitch that Attaches to Industry Standard Rails in a 2016 GMC Sierra 3500
Question:
I bought a GMC 3500 dually that has Reese bed rails installed already. Reese part number 30153. Will this hitch fit those rails? If not which one do I need?

Expert Reply:
Yes, the Reese M5 5th Wheel Trailer Hitch item # RP46FR you referenced is compatible with the Reese Quick-Install Custom Outboard Installation Kit item # RP56001-53 you have on your 2016 GMC Sierra 3500. The Reese M5 attaches to industry standard rails.
To make towing with a 5th wheel easier I recommend adding the Curt 5th Wheel/Gooseneck Custom Wiring Harness w/ 7-Pole Connector - 10' Long item # C56070. This harness puts a 7-way connector in the bed of your truck and allows you to keep the one on your bumper. This makes hooking up to your 5th wheel trailer easier and more convenient.
