Hey Joanne, the Curt A16 5th Wheel Trailer Hitch # C16520-16025 is designed to fit into the factory pucks on 2016-2019 GMC / Chevy Silverado 2500 & 3500s which have a spacing of 27" from left to right and 22" from front to back; so the legs have the same spacing since they drop into the pucks.
Since it looks like you have a 2011 GMC Sierra, you'd actually need to install the base rails # C16411-204 first, and then you'd be able to use the Curt A16 # C16120.
If you have anything else you need help with, please let me know below!
