• Recommended 5th Wheel Trailer Hitch For A 2024 Chevy Silverado 2500 With OEM Prep Package
  We always recommend using a sliding hitch whenever the bed of the truck falls down to the 6' range.

With your trailer being forty feet in length you'll most likely have to pull really ride and then go into a bit sharper of a turn to maneuver around so an automatic slider like the Demco Autoslide 5th Wheel Hitch w/ Slider - Chevrolet/GMC Prep Package...

• Why Did Demco Autoslide 5TH Wheel Hitch Move Back When Connected To Lippert Rhino Pin Box?
  I do see your Demco Autoslide 5th Wheel Trailer Hitch # DM8550035 is missing the Capture Plate # DM14743-95 and other components on the Head # DM6081. And as you have a Rhino pin box you need the Locking Plate # DM76FR as well to prevent the Demco from turning unless the trailer is turning. Since you don't have either of the parts on the head this is why your hitch slid back the way it did.

  While Reese does offer a Sidewinder # RP34FR or Airborne # RP78FR which will replace your Lippert Rhino pin box they do not have a combination Airborne/Sidewinder which will bolt to the mounting arms on your 2022 Vengeance/Rogue toy hauler.
