Question:
Is there any type of kit available to mount my existing Reese 16K Fifth Wheel hitch into my new 2016 GMC HD3500 long bed with the new factory installed hitch prep package. Thanks for your help.

We offer 5th wheel hitches that will directly fit the factory rail kit in your 2016 GMC Sierra 3500 long bed pickup. These can be seen by clicking on the link provided. We offer two options in a Curt 16K-rated hitch. Part # C16515-16025 is a cost-effective slide bar jaw hitch while part # C16520-16025 offers an upgraded double jaw system for better king pin contact as well as a cushioned 360-degree pivoting head for easier hitching on uneven ground. Both drop right in to the factory rail kit.
For a wiring harness for your truck you can use part # C56000 from Curt which simply plugs in at your existing bumper-mounted 7-way. Both connectors will remain active.
At this time there is no adapter available to allow your Reese 16K 5th wheel hitch that fits into ISRs (industry-standard rails) to work with your new GMC 3500 long bed with the factory rail kit. This adapter, when it is offered, will work similarly to the Reese adapter # RP30154 which fits the RAM prep package.
