Chevrolet Silverado
Awesome product. When I bought my new Silverado thinking that I would have to buy a new 21K hitch to tow my 5th Wheel but this took care of that issue and saved me a lot of money. Built solid, easy install.
by: Anthony T.08/23/2020
If you own a fifth wheel hitch already and purchase a truck with the puck system this is the way to go. Saves you money and works like a champ.

I needed an adapter for my 2017 GMC 3500, found the Demco DM6206, very well made and very heavy. Fit like a glove in my truck. Well pleased with the purchase from etrailer.
by: John B03/30/2019
Product dropped right onto truck and Hensley hitch pinned in nicely. I’m a little disappointed in the “slop” though. The adapter is secured by the goose neck hole and wobbles on the 4PUC holes with @1” slop. Camper is secure but it’s annoying
by: Miles S.04/28/2020
After I received the adapter and installed my Demco hitch, I did not like the way it fit. There was some pivot between the hitch and the adapter plate, about 1/4 in. even thought the pins went in to secure the hitch to the adapter, I did not feel comfortable. I bought at Curt hitch and did away with the Demco hitch and Demco adapter.
I bought all these product from etrailer and was very please with the purchase process and shipping.

Made moving 5th wheel hitch to new truck very easy, quick to remove and there are no rails that stay in the bed of your truck
by: Robert 11/05/2019
The product was delivered very quick has usual with e trailer but I had to make some modifications to my Spyder gooseneck hitch so it would fit down all the way so I could get pins in the adapter and Kaylyn was awesome to work with easy to talk too so it was a good experience overall

2018 Ram 3500
Great fast shipping. Product fit perfect in my 2018 GMC 3500 with OEM underbed hitch system. My Reese 20K 5th wheel hitch also fit perfectly into the rails. If you are looking to put older style rails in your newer truck and use your older 5th wheel hitch this is what you want. Very well made product and also heavy duty. Weighs about 100lbs plus hitch weight. I would definitely recommend product and etrailer to anyone. Very helpful getting you safe and back on the road to more camping and towing.
by: Donald11/27/2018
works fine. Has a little wobble from corner to corner and rattles a little. Once hocked up to 5th wheel the weight takes away any rattle and wobble.

2017 Ram 3500
Just received the hitch adapter today. It is heavy and so far seems like it will work. Have a concern about the one point locking but I have seen no reviews stating anyone had problems. Would like to see four corner locking with the same adapter. I tow a trailer around 13000 lbs loaded so we are wanting to try it out. Will report on it after I get a chance to use it. E trailer is a good company to deal with.

Just installed my adapter (quick and easy)! etrailer service was out standing (1st time doing business) intend to do a lot business with these folks.

Great product. It was so easy to put in my new Chevy I had to read the instructions 2 more times. Ordering thru E-trailer was also a great experience, help getting the correct order for my truck and it came when promised. Will definitely use them again when the need is there.

- Recommended OEM Puck Adapter for 2019 Chevy 1 Ton Dually TruckFor your 2019 Chevy 1 Ton Dually with OEM pucks I recommend the Demco 5th Wheel Rail Adapter for Chevy/GMC OEM 5th Wheel Towing Prep Package - 8' Bed - 21K # DM6206 which will give you the industry standard rail footprint for the vast majority of 5th wheel hitch compatibility. I've attached a photo to assist. When not in use, the bed will still be clean with just the OEM pucks. If you don't already have the in-bed 7-way, I recommend the Hopkins Endurance 5th Wheel/Gooseneck 90-Degree...

- 5th Wheel Rail Kit Adapter for Fitting Reese Hitch to 2018 Chevy Silverado 3500 w Factory Rail KitWe have the rail adapter you need, but it depends on the length of your truck bed since the rail kits are different dimensions for different bed lengths. For the long bed GM trucks with the rail kits the correct adapter is the part # DM6206. Then for the short bed trucks you'd want the part # DM6194. Both kits provide the same type of rails that your Reese hitch would fit.

To get that higher towing capacity, you can use the Reese M5 5th Wheel Trailer Hitch for Chevy/GMC Towing Prep Package - Single Jaw - 27,000 lbs # RP30895 which is the only hitch rated for that large a capacity. For a Ford F-350, you can...

The Demco Hijacker has a capacity of either 18,000 lbs # DM8550034 or 21,000 lbs # DM8550035; this hitch slides automatically so you no longer have to be...

If you have the OEM prep package on your Chevy and you are wanting to use a similar 21K Demco 5th wheel hitch then you would need to use the Demco Hijacker Premier Series Double Pivot 5th Wheel Trailer Hitch # DM6076P-21K along with the 5th Wheel Rail Adapter # DM6206.

view full answer... - Fifth Wheel Hitch Rail Kit Recommendation for 2018 Chevy Silverado 2500 with GM Rail KitYes we do offer fifth wheel rail kit adapters similar to the Ford one part # RP30156 for the GM factory rail kits of your 2018 Chevy Silverado 2500. The key though is to know your bed length as the different bed length require different adapters. The Demco part # DM6194 is the correct adapter if the bed is 6-1/2 feet in length and then for a long bed you'd need the # DM6206. A fifth weel hitch designed for industry standard rails like the Reese part # RP30047 could then be installed in...

As long as your GMC hitch isn't designed to fit in the factory pucks and is designed to fit in industry standard 5th wheel rails, you would be able to use the # DM6206 to drop into your factory pucks. This adapter would provide you with industry standard base rails to mount a 5th wheel hitch. I've linked a brief video on this part for...

Instead you can use the Demco Rail Adapter # DM6194 which is essentially the same thing as the Reese option, just from Demco and it fits your short bed pickup. If you have a long bed then you need the Demco Rail Adapter # DM6206 instead. At this time (March 2020) Reese doesn't have a rail adapter...

- Can I Use B&W Patriot Sliding Hitch In 2018 GMC Sierra 3500 With Prep PackageThere are normally adapters to fit the B&W Patriot sliding hitch part # BWRVK3270 to factory prep packages, however the only adapter available part # DM6206 for the 2018 GMC Sierra 3500 long bed is not compatible with the Patriot because the cross section of the adapter interferes with the sliding mechanism of the hitch. There is also not an interchangeable base available that fits the prep package at this time. The only option is to replace the fifth wheel with a fifth wheel that fits...

The best solution for this would be to use an adapter like the Demco 5th Wheel Rail Adapter for Chevy/GMC OEM 5th Wheel Towing Prep Package part # DM6194 for 6-1/2' bed or part # DM6206 for 8' beds.

You simply need to recognize that some adapters will limit the towing capacity. Curt is one of the hitches that uses legs compatible with the different pucks, so I will give you both options. For a Ram, you will use Reese adapter # RP30154 or Demco # DM6099. You can alternatively use the Curt legs # C16021 which will mount directly to your pucks.

If you new truck is a Chevy or GMC, then you will want the Demco adapter # DM6206 for an 8 foot bed or # DM6194 for a short bed. The two adapters are not interchangeable between bed sizes. If...

Since you have the factory 5th wheel prep package puck system you will first need the adapter # DM6206 and then you can use the Demco Hijacker 18,000 lb # DM8550034 or 21,000 lb # DM8550035. This will work very well together. You also may want to consider adding a wiring connection to the bed for a clean look and easy connection point using # A10-7010....

These kits differ in their price and overall installation time (the custom kit costing more and taking less time) but they both use the same industry standard above-bed rails.

They do not make Anderson hitches that mount directly to the OEM pucks on your 2018 Chevy Silverado 2500.

From 2020 onward, GM changed the layout of the puck system. For the 2021, you'd use the # DM6333 rail adapter. After an initial adjustment, the adapter would drop into the factory pucks and be secured. The adapter provides bed rails with industry standard hole spacing. If you click the provided link, you can see a product demonstration video featuring the Demco # DM6333 adapter.

Demco has since made a design change that allows the feet that fit into the truck bed pucks to be tightened up. If you have the older model that did not allow for this adjustability which is what it sounds like, Demco offers a shim kit which Ill have them send out to you.
