Can The Reese M5 5th Wheel Hitch Work With An Older Model Reese Sidewinder Pin Box
Question:
I have 2022 Chevy Silverado 2500 hd. With a 6.6 ft bed. I purchased a 2013 fifth wheel. The camper has an older model Reese sidewinder. Will a M5 reese gm OME hitch work with this setup?

Expert Reply:
Yes, you can use a Reese M5 5th wheel hitch with your Reese Sidewinder. For your 2022 Chevy Silverado 2500 you'll need the Reese M5 5th Wheel Trailer Hitch # RP26FR instead of the # RP30890 you were looking at since it's only compatible with the puck spacing on 2016-2019 models.
Just make sure you slide the generic wedge that comes with the sidewinder up into the funnel of the M5 to prevent pivoting at the king pin.
