Yes you can use the Reese 5th Wheel Trailer Hitch w/ Square Tube Slider # RP30051 with the Reese Sidewinder # RP77FR you mentioned. However, you will have to lock the hitch in the forward position to prevent the hitch from sliding.

Additionally, the Reese # RP30051 will not work with trucks with beds shorter than 6 feet, or have a flareside/stepside bed.
