Fifth Wheel Hitch Recommendation for 2019 GMC Sierra 2500 Short Bed with Factory Rail Kit
Question:
What fifth wheel hitch do you recommend for my 2019 GMC Sierra 2500 short bed with the factory towing package. I'd prefer something easier to use and I'm pretty sure I need a slider since I have a short bed truck.

I have a great fifth wheel hitch solution for your 2019 GMC Sierra 2500 short bed with the factory rail kit that's easy to use. I recommend the Demco Hijacker Autoslide fifth wheel hitch part # DM8550034 with the GM rail kit adapter part # DM6194 to fit your factory rail kit and allow the hitch to fit. I recommend this hitch for you because this slider hitch automatically slides back as you make tight turns giving you the clearance you need. Manual sliders require you to get out and activate them every time you need them so this is the easy solution you'll want. If you check out the review video I attached for this hitch you'll see how it operates.
