Will Reese M5 20K for Puck System Fit Puck System on 2019 GMC Sierra 3500 Denali

Question

Question:

I want to fit my M5 20k on the oem puck system for my new 2019 3500 denali. The hitch has only been used once so I do not wish to replace the whole thing if possible. Does Reese make new mounting legs that can bolt up to my hitch head and hopefully just drop in to place in the OEM pucks?

We do have 5th wheel hitches that are compatible with the puck system on your 2019 GMC Sierra 3500 Denali so to get your Reese M5 20K # RP30921, which is designed for Ford puck systems, compatible with your GMC puck system you'll have to swap out the legs with # RP30889.

If you had to replace your whole hitch you would instead use the Reese M5 # RP30890 that fits with the puck system on your GMC Sierra. It has a single jaw but it is rated for a high capacity 20K, has an indicator for when you are ready to tow, and a fully articulating head for a smooth towing experience.

Attached is a review video for this 5th wheel hitch as well as a photo that a customer sent in showing it installed on their Chevy.
