Does Demco Underbed Kit Give Full Bed Access for 2021 Chevy Silverado 2500
Question:
I own a 2021 Chevrolet 2500HD Siverado duramax 4x4 crew cab 6 3/4 bed. I am looking for a fifth wheel hitch that has a full bed access when removed after market hitch kit. I am seeing the Demco hitch. My question is I’d like to see a picture of this after install with the hitch removed

The Underbed Rail and Installation Kit # DR37FR is a great way to keep the bed of your 2021 Chevy Silverado 2500 short bed clean when you aren't towing your 5th wheel. It comes with plugs for the 4 attachment points so you don't have to worry about them filling up with debris either.
This 4-point mounting system is compatible with the Demco Hijacker Autoslide which is available as an 18K Model # DM8550022 as well as a 21K Model # DM8550037. These are a great option for your short bed pickup because they allow you to make sharper turns without having to get in and out of your truck to release the hitch like you do with a manual slider. These autosliders are a bit on the heavy side so I also recommend grabbing the Lifting Bracket # DM6100 so you can use a hoist system to lift and lower the hitch.
Since you don't have an OEM setup I also recommend picking up the Bargman # 50-97-410 so you have a 7-Way in the bed of your truck to make it easier to connect your 5th wheel 7-Way wiring.
Attached is a photo showing the puck system without the 5th wheel hitch installed as well as an installation video of the wiring kit.
