Slider Fifth Wheel Hitch Recommendation for 2019 Chevy Silverado 3500 Short Bed Factory Hitch
Question:
I have a 2019 Chevy Silverado 3500 short bed with the factory rail kit. What fifth wheel hitch should I get? I know I need a slider since my truck has a short bed.

The slider fifth wheel hitch I recommend for your 2019 Chevy Silverado 3500 with a short bed and the factory rail kit is the Demco Hijacker Autoslider part # DM8550034 because this USA-made hitch slides back automatically as you make tight turns. Most slider hitches require you to get out and slide them back everytime you need to make a tight a turn but this hitch does this for you automatically when needed. In the attached review video for this hitch you can see it slide as the truck makes a turn as well.
To install this hitch in the factory rail kit of your 2019 Chevy Silverado 3500 only requires the rail kit adapter part # DM6194.
