Expert Reply:
According to my contacts at Reese, the new R16 Fifth Wheel Hitch is unfortunately not compatible with older round tube sliding units or leg assemblies.
The R16 with Round Tube Slider, # RP30869 is compatible with your existing Reese mounting rails installed in your truck bed.
I have linked you to the installation instructions.
