Expert Reply:
The absolute best hitch that you can get for your 2022 GMC Sierra 3500 (6-3/4 ft. bed with OEM prep) is the Demco Hijacker # DM8550034 (18k) or the # DM8550035 (21k). The reason why this hitch is the best is because it includes an automatic slider system that activates when you make sharp turns with your trailer attached. Other makes/models of hitches require you to get out of your truck in order to manually manipulate the slider. Also, the Hijacker includes 3 different height settings for your trailer leveling needs.
Both of these models require you to use the Demco 5th-Wheel Rail Adapter # DM6333 in order to use with your OEM puck system.
If you need assistance with the installation process, I went ahead and attached an installation video that walks you through the steps.
