Recommended Sliding Fifth Wheel Hitch For 2017 Chevrolet Silverado 3500 With Factory Rails
Question:
Will you be carrying the blue ox Super ride Fith wheel hitch?
asked by: Rick O
Expert Reply:
We do not carry the Super Ride fifth wheel hitch, but we do offer some nice hitches that are designed to fit the factory rail kit on your 2017 Silverado 3500.
I recommend the Demco Hijacker Autoslide # DM8550034. This hitch has a, 18,000-lb capacity and features 14-inches of fore to aft travel. The hitch automatically slides toward the tailgate when you make a turn and return when you straighten out so no more having to exit the cab when you are making turns.
The adapter kit that is designed to work with the rail kit on your truck is part # DM6194. This fits right in the puck system in your truck bed and gives you mounting rails for the hitch. Our contact at Demco said this will not fit 8-ft truck beds.
