OEM Puck Legs Needed For A Reese M5 5th Wheel Hitch In A GM Puck System
Updated 02/04/2026 | Published 07/22/2024
Question:
I have a 2023 F-250 with a Ford OEM 32.5k 5th wheel hitch looks just like a Reese M5 32k. Im considering moving to a GMC 3500. I know the puck locations are different so how much of the hitch can I use in the GMC truck. Is it just a matter of new legs? Or do I need to replace the center section too?

Hey Michael,
The Ford OEM hitch is the Reese M5 and you would just need to swap out the legs for part # RP86FR as long as you're getting a GM truck with OEM puck system from 2020 or newer. You would not have to replace the center section of the hitch.
