Can GMC Sierra with 5-1/2 foot Bed Tow Fifth Wheel Trailer with Sidewinder Pin Box
Question:
Hello, I have 2014 GMC Sierra 1500 with a 5.5 bed. I bought a 1990 terry resort 21ft 5th wheel with a 16k draw tire hitch. My question is can I add a sidewinder and have enough room or do I need to buy a adjustable hitch and sidewinder? Any info or recommendations will help.

All you would need is a Sidewinder pin box and your stationary hitch would be good to make tight turns with your 2014 GMC Sierra 1500 short bed.
You will need to remove the pin box of the trailer and replace it with a Sidewinder pin box. Sidewinders are pin box specific so you will first need to know what pin box you have now in order to pick out the correct one.
There should be a sticker or a stamping on the OEM pin box of the trailer that will list the pin box number that is on the trailer.
Once you figure out which pin box you have you can check the FAQ I attached that has a chart that shows the correct Sidewinder to get based on which pin box you have.
