Curt Q20 & A20 5th Wheel Hitch w/ R20 Slider for Chevy/GMC Towing Prep Package - Dual Jaw - 20K

Question:

I have a 2018 chevy silverado 2500 hd. 6.5 bed. The truck has a puck system for the fifth wheel hitch. What hitch should I put in this truck? Im lookin at getting 20k curt hitch but I dont know if it will fit and I dont know if it will need to slide? I would love to use the Puck system so that no rails are left in the bed when the hitch isnt there.

Yes the Curt A20 # C16669 will fit your 2018 Chevrolet Silverado 2500 with OEM puck system. This includes adapter rails for Chevy/GMC 5th-wheel towing prep package for the hitch to mount in your truck bed This has a gross towing weight of 20,000 lbs. with a vertical load limit of 5,000 lbs. The slider travel is 12" front to back and a hitch height of 18-3/4" - 22-3/4". Because your 2018 Chevrolet Silverado 2500 has the 6.5' bed, I suggest you select a hitch arrangement with a slider, which this option provides.

Another great option, and the one I recommend, is the B&W Companion OEM 5th Wheel Hitch w/ Slider for Chevy/GMC Towing Prep Package - Dual Jaw - 20K, # BWRVK3770. This 100% made in the USA brand just has superior fit and finish to their product; tight tolerances, high grade steel, and powder coating. As with the Curt option, this has a gross towing weight of 20,000 lbs. vertical load limit of 5,000 lbs. It has a hitch height of 17" - 19" with travel of 12" front to back.
