Recommended Sliding 5th Wheel Hitch For 2020 Chevrolet Silverado 2500 With Short Bed Factory Pucks
Question:
Which sliding fifth wheel hitch do you recommend for the 2020 Chevy Silverado 2500 with factory pucks
asked by: Carson
Expert Reply:
I recommend the Demco Hijacker Autoslide 5th Wheel Trailer Hitch part # DM8550034 and the adapter in the puck system part # DM6333. The Hijacker is one of the easiest to use sliding fifth wheel hitches on the market because you don't have to get out of your truck to adjust the slider when you make turns which can become inconvenient especially in city traffic or bad weather. It also features a 360 degree contact with the king pin to prevent the rattling noise you may experience with other fifth wheel brands.
The Demco adapter part # DM6333 will drop down into the Chevy factory pucks, lock into place and gives you industry standard rails in the bed for the Hijacker to attach to. It may seem inconvenient to use the adapter in the bed but the auto slide feature far exceeds that in the long run. I have attached an installation video for your reference.
