Parts Needed to Tow a 5th Wheel Trailer With a 2023 GMC Sierra 2500 Without 5th Wheel Prep Package
Question:
I have a 2023 GMC Sierra 2500 with the 6-3/4' bed. We did not intend on towing a 5th wheel trailer but have since bought one. Needless to say, we did not get the 5th wheel prep package. Can you send over the parts we will need to tow our 5th wheel? Appreciate the help!

Expert Reply:
To tow your 5th wheel trailer with your 2023 GMC Sierra 2500 with a 6-3/4' bed you will need a base plate kit and a sliding 5th wheel hitch.
Base Rail Kit:
- Curt Custom Fifth Wheel Installation Kit for Chevy/GMC Truck # C16429-204
This kit will fit your Sierra and provide you with industry standard rails to use a 5th wheel hitch.
Sliding 5th Wheel Hitch
- Curt A20 5th Wheel Trailer Hitch w/ R20 Slider # C16541
The sliding 5th wheel hitch will allow you to have the proper clearance when turning in your short bed truck.
