To get the best possible 5th wheel towing experience with your 2021 GMC Sierra 3500 long with the factory puck system, I highly recommend one option above the rest, which is the that really does stand above the rest, which is the Companion from B&W:
- B&W Companion OEM 5th Wheel Hitch for Chevy/GMC Towing Prep Package # BWRVK3715
What truly separates the Companion # BWRVK3715 from other hitches are its immense jaws. The jaws on the Companion are a full 1 inch thick and are why the Companion - more than any other fifth wheel hitch - significantly minimizes the chucking, jarring and noise that can occur when towing a fifth wheel trailer. The size of the jaws, as well as the fact that they have a tolerance of +/- .002 inch, are what makes the biggest difference between the Companion and all other options. I have added a photo of the jaws so you can see their full breadth and why they act like an adhesive to your king pin.
The bushings on the Companion are another important factor; they are made of polyurethane which act as cushions that absorb noise and rattle so you can get to your destination in comfort. The Companion # BWRVK3715 is considered by most - myself included - to be the highest-quality fifth wheel hitch in the industry. As evidence of this you can see that this hitch has been reviewed well over 1,000 times by our customers (as of this writing), and it has a nearly unanimous 5-star rating.
