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.

Hey Michael, how did things go with swapping the legs on your Reese M5 hitch for the GMC truck? Your update could make it easier for others moving their hitch between different OEM puck systems.

@ChrisR, I ended sticking with Ford and buying a F-350. Sorry I can't contribute more to this question.
