Underbed Fifth Wheel Rail System for 2016 Chevy Silverado 2500 that's Most Versatile

Question

Question:

Hello, I have a 2016 Silverado 2500HD without a 5th wheel mount. I was looking into an aftermarket puck system for my 78” truck bed. I see you have several options, but what are the differences? Will any option be compatible with most brands of 5th wheel hitches? Thanks,

The Reese Elite underbed rail kit that fits your 2016 Chevy Silverado part # RP30868 is the most versatile option. It allows Reese puck style hitches to fit like the M20 part # RP30921 which is a really nice option and it also allows the fit of any Ford puck style hitch to fit. Like for example the really nice Companion hitch part # BWRVK3300.

The reason for this is Reese designed the Ford underbed rail systems.
