Above-Bed 5th Wheel Base Rails For 2022 Chevy Silverado 2500 & Demco Autoslide 5th Wheel Hitch

Question:

I am purchasing a new 2022 Silverado 2500HD. It does not have the OEM 5th wheel kit. I have a Demco Autoslide 18k. What above bed rail kit will work with this configuration?

I can verify for you that there is indeed a 5th wheel above-bed base rail kit for your 2022 Chevy Silverado 2500 that will allow you to use your Demco Hijacker Autoslide 5th Wheel Trailer Hitch # DM8550034.

What you can use is a custom base rail kit from Curt so you will not have to drill into the frame rails of your '22 Silverado 2500, with the correct fit being the following:

- Curt Custom Fifth Wheel Installation Kit for Chevy/GMC Truck # C16429-204

This will give you industry standard base rails so you can mount the Hijacker, and along with your truck is going to give you one of the best all-around 5th wheel towing setups you can get. The only other thing you'll need is a 5th wheel wiring harness, the Curt 5th Wheel/Gooseneck Custom Wiring Harness # C53CR.
