I needed a little help moving the item. It weighs about 200lbs. Very easy installation. Took about 30 minutes. Put my 5th wheel hitch onto the product and pinned it down. Great item!!

2019 Chevrolet Silverado 2500
Gave my review elsewhere, but didn’t see a place to add pics. This is adapter was a perfect fit to my 2019 Chevy 2500HD 6-1/2’ bed truck, and allowed use of my Reese Pro Series 16K fixed hitch. It’ll work great towing my 10,000 lb. camper. The only thing to pay attention to is that the thumbscrew used to lock the lever in place after the adapter is installed, is ONLY a THUMB screw. I attempted to give it a final snug with a tool and it snapped right off.
Perfect S.

I needed an adapter plate if i was going to utilize my old Reese sliding fifth wheel hitch.
It arrived in very short time . I was skeptical it would be able to securely be able to do the job. 1200 miles later i was home again. It worked great. I currently have it for sale as i have purchased a newer truck and the hitch or plate are compatible.
Great product though.

2018 GMC Sierra 2500
etrailer kept me informed as to the delivery status of my order and I was very please to receive the Demco adapter base for my 2018 GMC 2500HD a week early! The install was simple.
My only issue was the rear Demco product leveling studs that rest on the truck bed pucks were not the same thickness and that caused me some install delays. (See Photo.) etrailer, please let Demco know of this issue so they can improve.
Once I saw this I worked around the issue. Otherwise very well built product that saved me from having to buy a new 5th wheel hitch when I bought the new truck.

The demco hitch adapter arrived earlier than expected. Packaging was crap but it fit perfect and was real easy. I did sand & repaint the entire assembly. I also put on the new decals you sent me. (Thank you). When I need additional stuff you will be the company I contact
by: Jeremy O.03/13/2021
Dropped right in and fit great. Very easy to install. Installed to hold my 16k Pullrite Superglide in my factory 5th wheel prepped 2018 GMC Sierra 2500.
by: John03/16/2019
Install was easy, product is as advertised and seems pretty beefy. Only Issue is the Wing Nut to lock it is a weak metal. There appears to be a bit of overspray or extra material making it difficult to get the screw in. My Wing nut sheared off when trying to get it locked down. Luckily I had a Steel Machine Screw with the same dimensions that I used in the second hole.
by: Ken08/31/2018
So far, So good, my adapter came two days after placing my order. Had it in in a few minutes, set my Huskey fifth wheel slider on it and was finished.
Thanks, for a great product.
by: Easy hookup10/22/2017
Item arrived quicker than the back order stated surprisingly enough the thing was pretty heavy if I was a young kid would be easy. connection was simple and easy as well.

Fits perfect in my 2019 Silverado 3500hd. The bottom rear feet are not pins. They are flat that you adjust with a supplied Alan wrench. Pin the middle and adjust the feet to keep from rocking back and forth. Side to side. Fits my Reese 16k hitch nicely.

Perfect fit packaging was fine arrived on time absolutely phenomenal system. Jesse M was a fantastic customer service representative explained a lot of stuff to me once it arrived installed within 15 minutes.

Was impossible to locate 5th wheel rail mount to fit fit my new 2019 GMC Denali built-in puck system until I called Donna P. at etrailer. The rail fits into all five holes pre-designed and built into my truck bed. Made a heavy-duty construction much heavier than the double rails normally used in truck beds it is certain to last a lifetime. The new Reese Hitch was just as impressive. Thank you Donna!

The Demco rail adapter arrived at our house less than 48 hours after I placed the order. It fit perfectly in our 2018 Silverado 3500, and I was towing our fifth wheel the next day. Everything works as advertised. Thanks to Pat at e-trailer for answering my questions and helping me place our order.

The product arrived as indicated and fit my 2017 GMC Sierra 2500 as stated. I wiil be putting my fifth wheel on this hitch plate and pulling my Columbus 320RS the week before Thanksgiving. I so glad I did not have to drill hples in the bed of my truck. This adapter fit the factory holes for the removable gooseneck set up.
by: Dollie R08/23/2020
The service I received was exceptional!!! They came in to help me with a small glitch after hours. I would highly recommend etrailer. My Demco 5th wheel rail adapter has really been a great product.

GMC Sierra
Arrived on time, quite heavy though, but after all it's rated for 21,000 lbs.. Fit my new GMC 2500 Sierra with 6 1/2' bed and underbed 5th-wheel towing prep package as promised. Very easy installation and fell right in the prepared opening in the truck bed. More important was that it fit perfectly the 15k PRO Series 5th wheel hitch we already owned. All in all, great product and installed within 1/2 hour.
by: John 09/30/2022
It worked perfect. I took it out of the box,installed it in my truck per attached instructions and put the fifth wheel portion onto the rales and had it hooked to my camper in approximately 45 minutes.
by: Glen G.02/22/2019
2019 Chevrolet Silverado
We installed it in a new 2019 Silverado 3500 that had the 5th wheel preparation package. It only took about 10 minutes. Then, my 5th wheel hitch from the prior truck attached easily to this new rail system. No need to pay someone to install. Very pleased!
by: Wayne 02/05/2020
2017 Chevrolet Silverado 2500
I like the product. However the leveling pucks were to high to allow the locking pin engagement. I had to grind down the four treaded pads on the plate to raise the pucks. I'm not sure if it was weld slag or the paint that caused the problem. Also there was paint in the treaded holes for the 1/4 - 20 wing nut which prevented the install of the wing nut. I had to chase the treads. I hope that this product will give me may years of good service.

- How do I Remove the Demco 5th Wheel Adapter # DM6194?The first thing you need to do with the Demco 5th Wheel Adapter # DM6194 is to make sure you loosen the pads/feet if you tightened them with a hex wrench. Then, you need to make sure that the that the 1/4" lock bolt and 1/4" internal tooth lock are properly loosened. The locking turn plate must then be turned to its original position. It is important to make sure that it is in the full horizontal position so it does not catch on the lip of the truck bed. If you've completed these steps...

- Recommended 5th Wheel Rails For Using Pullrite Superglide In 2019 Chevrolet Silverado 2500As long as the Pullrite Superglide 5th wheel hitch you have in your 2016 Toyota Tundra Max uses industry standard rails you will need the Curt Custom Fifth Wheel Installation Kit for Chevy/GMC - Carbide Finish # C16411-204 if your 2019 Chevrolet Silverado 2500 does NOT have the OEM prep package, or Rail Adapter # DM6194 if your Silverado does have the OEM prep package. I included videos for each of the products mentioned for you to take a look at.
view full answer... - Adapter Recommendation for 2017 GMC Sierra 2500 to Allow Draw Tite Slider Hitch to InstallYes, all you need is the appropriate adapter to allow your Draw Tite hitch to fit the factory rail kit of your 2017 GMC Sierra 2500 part # DM6194 which we have tested as being compatible with the Draw Tite/Reese fifth wheel hitches.
view full answer... - Recommendations for 2018 GMC Sierra 3500 5th Wheel SetupThe GMC integrated brake controller on your 2018 GMC Sierra 3500 may or may not work with your EOH system. Previous model years have required an adapter like the HydraStar # HBA-CAM to function well together. The Pull-Rite Auto slide hitch will work in a standard bed of the GMC truck. You don't need a sliding hitch with an 8 foot bed, but you would with the 6-1/2 foot bed. For either bed size, I recommend the custom bed rails # RP50066-58 for industry standard above bed rails.

view full answer... - Will the Reese 20k Round Tube Slider Hitch Work With Demco Rail Adapter On 2019 Sierra 2500Yes, the Reese 5th Wheel Trailer Hitch w/ Round Tube Slider part # RP30083 is perfectly compatible with the Demco 5th Wheel Rail Adapter part # DM6194.
view full answer... - Are There Different Versions of the Demco 5th Wheel Rail Adapter for Chevy/GMC OEM PucksCorrect, there are two different versions of the Demco 5th Wheel Rail Adapter for Chevy/GMC OEM 5th Wheel Towing Prep Package part # DM6194. The early version as you mentioned does not have the adjustable feet like the new version does. The adjustable feet were added to prevent the hitch adapter from rocking back and forth. If you are having issues with the adapter rocking then you would be wise to upgrade to the new version but if you don't have any rocking issues then you are fine to...
view full answer... - How Much Does Demco 5th Wheel Rail Adapter # DM6194 WeighDemco 5th Wheel Rail Adapter # DM6194 has a shipping weight of 95 pounds so if you subtract all the packaging you are looking at approximately 90 pounds. I have linked a video review of this adapter for you.
view full answer... - Will Demco Rail Adapter for 2018 Chevy Silverado 3500 With Short Bed Work With Pull-Rite HitchYes, you can use the Demco 5th Wheel Rail Adapter for Chevy/GMC OEM 5th Wheel Towing Prep Package # DM6194 with a Pull-Rite 2300, which fits industry-standard rails (ISR). This adapter gives you the ability to mount a hitch that fits ISR and is a fit for the 6-1/2' bed on your 2018 Chevy Silverado 3500. It is important to note that the Demco Adapter # DM6194 has a maximum capacity of 21,000 lbs, which is less than the 24,000 lb capacity of your Pull-Rite so you do need to ensure that...
view full answer... - 5th Wheel Hitch Needed for 6-1/2 Bed on a 2017 Chevrolet Silverado 2500Since you have a 6-1/2' bed on your 2017 Chevrolet Silverado 2500 you will want a sliding 5th wheel hitch so that you will have enough cab to trailer clearance when making tight turns. I like to recommend going with the Demco Hijacker which is an automatic sliding 5th wheel hitch that allows you to stay in the cab of your Silverado when making your turns. It comes in an 18K version # DM8550034 and a 21K version # DM8550035, has a vertical adjustment of 15-1/4" - 18", and provides up to...

- How to Use Reese Elite/Ford OEM 5th Wheel Hitch on 2008 Ford Truck I may have a solution for you, however there is not an adapter available that would let you use your Reese Elite Series 5th Wheel Hitch # RP30144 with your 2008 Ford truck, assuming it is equipped with standard, above-bed base rails. If you don't yet have base rails installed, or are okay replacing the ones that are there, what you can do is use the Reese Under-Bed Rail and Installation Kit # RP30073. This will give you underbed rails with a puck system that matches what you have on your...
view full answer... - Recommended Adapter to Install PullRite SuperGlide in Factory Pucks on 2018 GMC Sierra 2500If your 16K PullRite SuperGlide is an ISR model that is desgined to mount to industry standard bed rails, like their 2700 ISR series then the Demco # DM6194 adapter would work great for you. The # DM6333 you'd looked at is for the 2020+ GM puck system, whose spacing changed for the 2020 model year. If your PullRite hitch doesn't use industry standard rails, then you'd either want to check with PullRite to see if they offer an adapter that's compatible with the 1st gen GM puck system...
view full answer... - Automatic Slider Fifth Wheel Hitch Recommendation for 2018 GMC Sierra 3500 with Rail KitWe have a great auto slider fifth wheel hitch solution for your 2018 GMC Sierra 3500 short bed with the factory rail kit but it does require a rail kit adapter. For that we have the Demco Hijacker Autoslide part # DM8550034 which has an 18k capacity and slides back 14 inches as you make tight turns. The adapter you'd need then is the # DM6194 which fits the rail kit of your truck and provides the rails for the hitch. The rail kit fits tight to the truck so you wouldn't have any movement/noise...
view full answer... - Towing Capacity for 2019 GMC Sierra 2500 and Automatic Sliding Fifth Wheel HitchI looked up the towing capacity for your 2019 GMC Sierra 2500 and it appears to be between 13,000 and 14,500 lbs depending on how it's optioned. Your best option would be to contact a GMC dealer to see if they'll give you the official capacity based on the VIN. The Demco Hijacker Autoslide part # DM8550034 is a really great option that I would recommend highly. And to fit it in the OEM rail kit of your Sierra all you'd need is the adapter part # DM6194 and you'd be set.

This combination will work well in your 2019 GMC Sierra 2500 Denali Short Bed. You may also want to consider adding the Hopkins Endurance 5th Wheel/Gooseneck 90-Degree Wiring Harness with 7-Pole Plug # 41157 for a second 7-way in the...

- Does the Demco 5th Wheel Rail Adapter # DM6194 Lock Into the Puck System on a 2016 Chevy SilveradoYes, the Demco 5th Wheel Rail Adapter for Chevy/GMC OEM 5th Wheel Towing Prep Package # DM6194 will be secured by both the gooseneck ball mount point and the 4 puck points in the bed of your 2016 Chevrolet Silverado 2500. This will work perfectly with either the 18K Demco Autosliding Hijacker # DM8550034 or the 21K version # DM8550035. Even though the Andersen Ultimate Connection 5th Wheel Trailer Hitch System with Adapter # AM3200 is a great lightweight 5th wheel system to use, it only...

- Automatic Sliding Fifth Wheel Hitch Recommendation for 2018 GMC Sierra 2500I looked up your truck and for the 2018 GMC Sierra 2500 HD the standard towing capacity is 14,500 so your 13,500 lb trailer woudn't be an issue at all as long as you stay under the capacity. For an automatic sliding hitch we have the Demco Hijacker 21k part # DM8550035 which can install in your factory rail kit with the adapter part # DM6194. This hitch can come apart to help break up the weight of it, but it is a heavier hitch as all slider hitches are. I attached a review video for...
view full answer... - Can Pullrite SuperGlide 2900 Fit 2019 Chevy Silverado 3500The Pullrite 2900 is designed for industry standard 5th wheel rails which means we can help you install it in the bed of your 2019 Chevrolet Silverado 3500. Some of the Pullrite hitches can only fit rails that Pullrite makes but the 2900 was designed for the standard fifth wheel rails. So if your truck had the GM factory fifth wheel rail kit you'd only need the adapter part # DM6194 to fit the rail kit and then fit the hitch. If instead you didn't have the OEM rail kit you'd instead...
view full answer... - Troubleshooting Fit Issues With Demco Hijacker AutoSlide with UnderBed MountFor your 2018 Chevy Silverado 2500 HD with Factory Rail Kit, the # DM8550022 is not the correct fit. You will want the similar # DM8550034 along with the Installation Rails # DM6194. You can simply change out the side plates with # DM6003 for that fit. If you do not have the factory rail kit/puck system, then you can use the # DM6003 to make your hitch compatible with industry standard rails and then use the Curt base rail kit # C16411-204 for a custom fit. I've attached a video of...
view full answer... - Will Demco Rail Adapter DM6194 Allow Installation of Reese 16K Slider Hitch RP30869Yes, for a 2018 GMC Sierra short-bed with the factory 5th wheel rail kit you can use Demco Rail Adapter for Chevy/GMC # DM6194 to allow installation of an industry-standard 5th wheel hitch like your Reese 16K Slider # RP30051. The adapter provides the equivalent of industry-standard above-bed base rails like those required by your Reese hitch.

Assuming that the prep package also includes the center gooseneck ball hole you can use adapter # DM6194. I have included a link to a video review of this adapter for you.

If that is what you are trying to accomplish, you need Demco 5th Wheel Rail Adapter for Chevy/GMC OEM 5th Wheel Towing Prep Package part # DM6206.

view full answer... - Removing Stuck Demco Hijacker Slider Hitch from 2019 GMC 3500 with OEM Rail KitSounds like you might be having a hard time getting the rail kit adapter # DM6194 and hitch # DM8550034 to remove from the OEM rail kit of your 2019 GMC 3500. But what you can do is use the jacks of your trailer to providing the lifting power. So unlatch the adapter or hitch (whichever is giving you troubles) while hitched to your trailer and then use the jacks to lift it up and out of the rail/rail kit.

The product has exceeded my expectations. I have had no problems with this product at all. I is low profile enough that when I take out my 5th wheel hitch I do not have to remove the Demco product.
