If you have a slider base like # RP30048 then the Replacement Head with Crossmember for Reese 5th Wheel Trailer Hitch # RP30047A will fit into your current slider base. If you provide your vehicle make and model, along with your slider base serial number I can provide an exact solution for your vehicle.

I am buying a 2024 Chevy Silverado 2500HD which has a puck system on it. I have a Reese pro series 16K with Kwik slide #30048 on old truck. I want to use 5th wheel hitch on new truck. Will my hitch asm. mount on the Curt puck system fifth wheel with rails p/n 16027. If not do you have adapter kit that will work. Please let me know as soon as you can.

@RonR Ron, in order to use your Reese 5th wheel hitch with the Reese Square Tube Slider for 5th Wheel Trailer Hitch # RP30048 with your Chevy Silverado that has the OEM pucks, you are going to need to use the Adapter Rails for Curt 5th Wheel Hitch # C88KR as well. This adapter will drop into the pucks and provide an attachment point for your Curt hitch.

Hey Jerry, GM moved the placement of their puck systems starting with 2020 models so you are correct that the pucks would have the hitch not sit directly over the axle. GM did the math and made sure that this placement wouldn't adversely affect…

Yes, the puck system used on the 2016-2019 Chevy/GMC trucks is different than the pucks used on the 2020 and newer trucks. So you would need a 5th wheel like the B&W Companion #BWRVK3710 for your 2020 GMC Sierra 3500 with an 8' Bed. If you…
