Question:
I need some help. I recently purchased and installed the Reese Elite Underbed Rail Kit (RP30868) on my 2019 GMC 3500 short bed pickup. I now need to purchase a complementary 5th wheel hitch to mate with the underbed rail kit. I'd like to purchase the B&W (BWRVK3370) 5th wheel hitch. Can you please confirm that the BWRVK3370 is the complementary mate to the RP30868? I have received conflicting information from eTrailer experts and I just need a definitive answer prior to purchase.

Expert Reply:
We have underbed rail kit and hitch options that fit your 2019 GMC Sierra 3500 short bed that does not have the OEM rail kit but we don't have a way to install a Curt hitch for the OEM GM rail kit as we don't carry that exact rail design.
Closest option we have would be the Reese Elite Underbed Rail Kit part # RP30868 with the Curt Ford UnderBed Q20 Slider Hitch part # C16530-16020. The rail kit from Reese is designed to fit your truck and since Reese makes the Ford rail kit the Ford OEM hitches like the Q20 slider I mentioned fit it perfectly. So this gives you the Q20 slider you want and an underbed solution so it would be exactly what you're looking for.
