Expert Answers about Chevrolet Silverado 3500


  • How does the OEM Prep Pkg work on 2021 Chevrolet Silverado 3500
  • That's a lot of questions, let's get them answered for you. First, yes it does significantly change the install time, not only that but with the easy removal of the hitch when not in use you have full uninhibited use of your truck bed as if there was never a hitch to begin with. If your 2021 Chevrolet Silverado 3500 has the OEM Prep Package then you do not need to install additional under-bed rails or have need for the traditional style above bed rails such as the Curt, # C16429-204.

  • Does Higher Rated Fifth Wheel Hitch Use Different Size King Pin
  • You can use a higher rated fifth wheel hitch than the rating of the trailer or pin box. The king pin sizes are all the same and there is no need to worry about compatibility so the 20k Companion hitch part # BWRVK3775 would work great if you had a short bed but if your 2022 Chevy Silverado 3500 with the OEM prep package was a long bed a fixed hitch version like part # BWRVK3710 would be the better way to go.

  • Recommended 5th Wheel Hitch and Tonneau Cover for 2022 Chevrolet Silverado 3500
  • I suggest the B&W Companion OEM 5th Wheel Hitch for Chevy/GMC Towing Prep Package, # BWRVK3715. I like the 1" thick jaws on the Companion. The cam-action latching handle helps prevent binding, is simple to release, even on unlevel terrain. The B&W is noted as having a superior powder coating and is made in USA with materials sourced from the USA too. This hitch has multiple height settings but even on its highest setting it will still set below the top of the bed rails. So something...

  • Dolly Recommendation for Moving Trailer That Attaches to Coupler
  • Trailer Valet actually has a dolly/jack that is designed for attaching to the coupler like you mentioned. For that you'd want the part # TVXL25 for if you have a 2-5/16 inch hitch ball or part # TVXL2 for if you have a 2 inch hitch ball size. I attached a picture that shows what it looks like installed as well as a review video for it as well for you to check out.

  • Recommended Installer for B&W BWGNRK1012 Turnover Ball on 2014 Chevy Silverado 3500
  • We don't have any specific recommendations for installers. Frankly, any trusted mechanic should have no problem installing an underbed gooseneck/5th wheel mount like the B&W # BWGNRK1012. I'll link to the installation instructions as well as to an install video, so you can get an idea of what the installation involves. You can also print off the instructions and show them to your mechanic so you can get an install quote. If you'd like a 7-way trailer connector installed in your truck...

  • Best 5th Wheel Hitch That Fits Directly in Factory Puck System on 2020 Chevy Silverado 3500
  • We do have a nice selection of 5th wheel hitches that are designed to drop right into the factory pucks on your 2020 Chevy Silverado 3500 but I specifically recommend the Curt A30 # C16070 that provides the highest towing capacity available at 30,000 pounds and features a unique spherical axial bearing that allows for easy pivot of the hitch head for smooth and quiet travel. Something else you won't find on any other brand hitch is the 3-point indicator system that quickly lets you know...

  • Best 5th Wheel Hitch for 2020 Chevy Silverado 3500 With 5th Wheel Prep Package to Prevent Binding
  • The best fifth wheel hitch for your 2020 Chevy Silverado 3500 to prevent binding is the B&W Companion. The reason is because the handle on this hitch is unlatched and designed specifically not to bind. So even if there is initial binding when you are trying to uncouple the Companion, all you need to do after moving the handle to the open position is drive Silverado forward a bit and the jaws will automatically open. This ease of use feature, along with the Companion's impressive 1 inch...

  • Recommended Aftermarket Underbed Puck System for 2019 Chevy Silverado 3500
  • For your 2019 Chevy Silverado 3500, the manufacturer puck system is not available in aftermarket but there is a very similar option to give you the 4 pucks. It is the Reese Under-Bed Rail and Installation Kit for Reese Elite Series 5th Wheel Trailer Hitches # RP30868. This system is a confirmed fit for your truck and if you want to also add the 5th hole for the gooseneck you can do that using the Reese Elite Series Under-Bed Gooseneck Trailer Hitch Head Kit - 25,000 lbs # RP30158.

  • Best Fitting 5th Wheel Hitch for 2018 Chevrolet Silverado 3500 with Factory Prep Package
  • In my opinion the best fitting USA-made 5th wheel hitch for your 2018 Silverado 3500 with factory prep is the B&W Companion model # BWRVK3770. B&W does all their own fabrication in-house and builds this hitch with heavy-duty 1-inch-thick hitch jaws for rattle-free grip on the king pin, a fully-articulated head assembly for easier hitching on uneven ground and high-grade steel for long term durability. These features make the 20K Companion # BWRVK3770 an industry benchmark. You don't need...

  • Made In the USA Fifth Wheel and Gooseneck Hitch Recommendation for 2015 Chevy Silverado 3500
  • B and W makes all of their products in the US so for your 2015 Chevy Silverado 3500 I would recommend the B and W Turnover hitch part # BWGNRK1012 as it has been confirmed as a fit. I attached an install video that shows this hitch being installed on a 2015 Silverado 3500 like yours as well. This hitch also doubles as a fifth wheel hitch rail kit too. If you ever needed to tow a fifth wheel trailer you would only need the Companion part # BWRVK3500.

  • Recommended 5th Wheel and Clearance Necessary for 2016 Chevrolet Silverado 3500 Flat Bed
  • I did some research on the Knapheide PGNC 96B Flat Bed on your 2016 Chevrolet 3500 and it appears that it should already have a gooseneck hitch installed. However, looking into it further, it does not appear that a standard gooseneck adapter will be compatible because of the mounting space they require. The best option for a 5th-Wheel Trailer Hitch on your 2016 Chevrolet 3500HD Flatbed is the Reese Low-Profile # RP30054. The low profile on this hitch is specifically designed for cab-and-chassis-style...

  • Are the Plastic Foot Pads of the B and W Companion Hitch # BWRVK3500-5W Required
  • The included foot pads of that come with the B and W Companion Hitch # BWRVK3500-5W are designed to be used regardless if there is corrugation on the truck bed or not. The shape of them does allow them to fit in corrugation if needed which is nice. If you weren't to use them the hitch wouldn't make contact with the truck bed to support the load of the trailer. The only contact point would be with the gooseneck ball. Since you don't have corrugation you will want to mount the pad with the...

  • How To Install Slider 5th Wheel Hitch On 2020 Chevy Silverado 3500 Without Prep Package
  • It sounds like you just have a 2020 Chevrolet Silverado 3500 without the factory prep package. If that's the case then we still have fifth wheel hitch options even for models without the factory prep package (pucks). That said, you'd need to install a set of above bed base rails, the Reese Quick-Install Custom Outboard Installation Kit part # RP84FR which will then work with most slider fifth wheels hitches like the Curt 5th Wheel Trailer Hitch w/ Slider part # C16541. The factory spray-in...
