Hi Joe!

Yes, technically the Curt E16 5th Wheel Trailer Hitch w/ Rails and Universal Installation Kit, part # C16116, will work on your 2014 GMC Sierra 2500 HD. Since it uses universal brackets, though, some drilling is required during installation.

I would recommend going with the Curt E16 5th Wheel Trailer Hitch for Chevy/GMC, part # C78WV, instead. It includes custom fit brackets for your truck, so you can avoid the additional drilling and make the installation much easier.

What fifth-wheel are you towing?

I installed this kit on my 2010 f150 short bed and it works great. I’ve used it to tow a 26 ft 5th wheel down the east coast. You have to drill holes in the frame to properly mount it. The instructions are good that come with it. Make sure when you lineup mounting it that it’s properly over the axle for weight distribution. You have to take care and be patient utilizing the steel string they give you in the kit to fish the bolts in the frame to bolt it up. I would recommend doing the drilling and install in a garage. Good luck and I hope you get it installed without any issues.

@John John, thanks for sharing your experience! It’s always helpful to hear from someone who has actually installed and used the kit. You’re right that the universal brackets do require drilling, and taking your time with the installation and getting the hitch positioned correctly over the axle is definitely important. What fifth wheel are you towing?

@HeatherA I was towing an older 26ft wilderness 5th wheel and have since sold it. I have a travel trailer for now. I try to find trailers to fix up and sell or rent out. Your products have been very helpful and reasonably priced. Thanks to your team.
