I was under the impression I could move my hitch from one vehicle to another, assuming of course I keep the same trailer. I have a Reese 16k fifth wheel hitch and have a Reese Sidewinder on my trailer. I'm looking to upgrade from a Ford F150 to a Chevrolet Silverado 2500HD. Can I use my existing hitch in the Chevy?

I started with the Reese R16 and Sidewinder with my 1st trailer and short-bed 1/2 ton Chevy. When moving up to the 3500HD, I went long wheel base, have the same R16 and pinned the Sidewinder. The Sidewinder is a versatile pinbox, was one of many selling points on upgrades when I sold that trailer.
Good luck, I think you'll enjoy the stability and experience pulling the 5er, as compared to the TT.
