Question:
I have an old reese 16K hitch. the rails are already in my truck, 2006 chevy Silverado short box. I need to replace my 16K hitch...something broke. anyway, I would like to use the same rails in truck so I dont have to mess around with changing everythin. will the 20K RP30084,RP50064-58 work on those rails? since I dont need the rails

Expert Reply:
Yes, you can use Reese 5th wheel trailer hitch # RP30084 in place of the old Reese hitch using the same rails that are already in your 2006 Chevy Silverado.
You would not need # RP50064-58 because that is the installation kit and rails and you already have the rails installed in the truck. So you would just need the hitch! I have linked a video review of this hitch for you.
