Expert Reply:

The Reese M5 Fifth Wheel Hitch # RP30921 installs into your 2016 GMC Sierra 2500 using # RP30868.

Since you have a 6-1/2 foot bed you may need a sliding hitch for turning clearance. Unfortunately, the Reese M5 cannot be converted to a slider so you would need an entirely new hitch, # RP30144.

You may not need the sliding hitch. Especially if your trailer has a Sidewinder or Revolution pin box. If it doesn't already you may be able to replace the pin box with a Sidewinder. If you tell me your pin box model number I can see if there's a replacement available.

If you let me know the year, make, model of your truck an I will be able to help you with a little bit more direction. There's too many options without knowing the YMM of your truck.
