Does a 2015 GMC Sierra with a 6-1/2 foot Bed Need a Slider Fifth Wheel Hitch
Question:
Would the C16130 hitch work in my 2015 GMC Sierra with a 6ft 6in box or would I have to add the slider feature? Thanks for now

Helpful Expert Reply:
Since you have a short bed 2015 GMC Sierra you would have to go with a slider hitch like the # C16541 instead so that you can make tight turns. Otherwise the stationary hitch part # C16130 that you referenced wouldn't allow you to make tight turns.
For a fifth wheel rail kit you would want to go with a custom fit kit like the part # RP50064-58 that has been confirmed as a fit.
