Availability of OEM Underbed Puck System for a 2016 Chevrolet Silverado 2500

Question:

My 2016 Silverado came without the OEM underbed hitch platform is it available as a kit so I could install it? The bed is dimpled for drilling in spots I assume would be puck locations.

If you install the Under-Bed Rail and Installation Kit # RP30868 and the Gooseneck Trailer Hitch Head Kit # RP30158 on your 2016 Chevrolet Silverado 2500 it will give you the 4 pucks and gooseneck hitch locations.

You will already be getting the gooseneck hitch ball and safety chain loops, but if you wanted a 5th wheel hitch that fit in the pucks directly we have the M5 Series 5th Wheel Trailer Hitch # RP30921 for a long bed or the Elite Series Pre-Assembled 5th Wheel Hitch w/ Slider # RP30144 for a short bed. Both of these trailer hitch come with a 7-Way that you can install in the bed of your truck, like part # 50-97-410, to make connecting and disconnecting your trailer wiring much easier.

If you already own a 5th wheel hitch that fits industry standard rails then you can use the Elite Series Underbed Rail Adapter # RP30156 in the puck system. This provides attachment points for your 5th wheel hitch.
