Recommended 5th Wheel Hitch for 2022 GMC Sierra 3500 w/ Factory Prep Package and Sidewinder Pin Box

Question:

I have a 2022 GMC Sierra 3500 with a short bed but I also have a rotating pin box Sidewinder on my 5th wheel. I want a fixed fifth wheel and not a slider for the truck so what is the best hitch for this that I can use with my sidewinder? Thanks so much

The best fixed 5th wheel hitch that will work with your Sidewinder and fit in the pucks of the short bed 2022 GMC Sierra 3500 is the B&W Companion item # BWRVK3710 (20,000 lbs) or item # BWRVK3715 (25,000 lbs). The reason this hitch is the best is because it will give you the most comfortable towing experience due to the Companion's superior quality compared to other hitches.

The dual jaw system and cushioned bushings are what separates the Companion from the competition, and minimize the chucking and noise that can occur when towing a 5th wheel trailer. I have attached a photo below of these jaws. The bushings on the Companion are made of polyurethane which act as cushions to absorb noise and rattle for a more comfortable towing experience.

I have added links to video reviews of both hitches for you to take a look at.
