Fixed or Sliding B&W Companion For 2023 GMC Sierra 2500 Short Bed With OEM Puck System
Question:
should i get the sliding or fixed b&w companion for my 2023 gmc sierra 2500 short bed with the oem puck system
asked by: Vince
Expert Reply:
For your 2023 GMC Sierra 2500, since you have a short bed you definitely want to go with the sliding hitch, with the correct part for your truck with the OEM pucks being the B&W Companion OEM 5th Wheel Hitch w/ Slider for Chevy/GMC Towing Prep Package # BWRVK3775.
The reason for that is the slider will ensure your trailer doesn't smash into your cab, as the fixed Companion # BWRVK3710 may not give you enough clearance on a sharp turn.
