• Recommended Fixed 5th Wheel Hitch For A 2022 GMC Sierra 2500 With A Short Bed
  The best 5th wheel hitch for your 2022 GMC Sierra 2500 with the short/standard bed will depend on if you have the factory pucks in the bed or not. If you don't, the Reese M5 5th Wheel Trailer Hitch - Single Jaw - 20,000 lbs # RP30928 and Rail Kit # RP30035-522 would be a great option. Now if you do have the factory pucks in your bed, I highly recommend the B&W Companion OEM 5th Wheel Hitch # BWRVK3715. This is American made and also rated up to 25,000 pounds. This will also secure into...

• Should I Choose Demco, Reese, or PullRite Underbed Rail System for My 2020 Chevy Silverado 2500
  For your application I recommend installing the Demco UMS Underbed Rail Kit # DR37FR on your 2020 Chevy Silverado 2500 and using the Hijacker Autoslide # DM8550037. The reason behind this is twofold; the Hijacker has more height adjustability and it comes with capture plates (as opposed to sold separately), and then Reese doesn't have an underbed rail system for your truck so you'll have to use the matching underbed rails for the 5th wheel hitch. Since the Demco Hijacker is better than...

• Side Rail Kit for 21K Demco Hijacker to Fit UMS Underbed Kit on 2020 Chevy Silverado 2500
  Yes! To convert the 21K Demco Autoslide 5th Wheel Trailer Hitch w/ Slider # DM8550035 to the Hijacker # DM8550037 you just need the Side Plate Kit # DM6004. This is for the Demco UMS underbed system so in order to install this on your 2020 Chevy Silverado 2500 you need the Underbed Rail and Installation Kit # DR37FR. This kit is similar to an OEM puck system for any truck but Demco has their own spacing for the mounting holes so you can only use Demco 5th wheel hitches that have the UMS...

• What is the Best 5th-Wheel Hitch for My 2021 GMC Sierra Short Bed without OEM Prep?
  By far, the best 5th-wheel hitch for your 2021 GMC Sierra 3500 (6-1/2 ft. bed without factory prep package) is the Demco Hijacker # DM8550035 (21K) and the # DM8550034 (18K). These options are if you want to use above-bed adapters. If you wish to install below-bed adapters, you will need the # DM8550037 (21K) or the # DM8550022 (18K). The great feature about the Hijacker is that it automatically slides when your trailer makes sharp turns without the need to get out of your truck to make...

• Demco Highjacker Mounting System For a 2021 Chevrolet Silverado With 6-3/4' Bed Without OEM Puck Pkg
  The Demco Hijacker Autoslide 5th Wheel Trailer Hitch # DM8550037 requires multiple mounting points on the frame of your 2021 Chevrolet Silverado 2500. Therefore you will not be able to use the Curt X5 5th Wheel Base Rails Adapter # 16310. No autoslide 5th wheel hitches can be used with a single point mount such as a B&W turnover ball or Curt double lock gooseneck. The Underbed Rail and Installation Kit for Demco Hijacker # DR37FR will allow you to keep a clean bed when you do not have...

• Sliding 5th Wheel Hitch Recommendation For A 2020 GMC Sierra 2500HD AT4 Short Box
  Yes, you will need a sliding fifth wheel hitch to give you the clearance you need. I recommend the Demco Hijacker Autoslide 5th Wheel Trailer Hitch w/ Slider # DM8550034, which features a pivoting head to allow for easy hookup and disconnect. This hitch also provides 14" of additional clearance for tight turns. A normal sliding hitch will cause you to get out of your vehicle to manually move your hitch for each turn you want to make. Since the Demco Hijacker is an automatic sliding hitch,...

• Does B&W Make An Auto-Sliding Fifth Wheel Hitch
  B&W currently only has an manually activated slider with their Companion # BWRVK3400-5W or Patriot # BWRVK3270. With these being manual you would need to exit the cab of your 2022 Chevy Silverado and pull the lever to activate the slide on you hitch, complete your turn, and then get back out and relock the hitch back in place. To avoid the headache of having to exit the truck repeatedly you can instead use the Demco Hijacker Autoslide 5th Wheel Trailer Hitch w/ Slider # DM8550022 with...

• Recommended 5th Wheel Trailer Hitch For A 2020 GMC Sierra 2500 Denali With 6-3/4' Bed
  Hi Kim, For a 2020 GMC Sierra 2500 I have two options depending on whether you'd prefer above or below bed rails: For above bed rails you'll want the Demco Autoslide 5th Wheel Trailer Hitch w/ Slider # DM8550034 and Demco Premier Series Above-Bed Base Rails # DM39FR. For below bed rails you'll want the Demco Autoslide 5th Wheel Trailer Hitch w/ Slider # DM8550022 and Underbed Rail and Installation Kit # DR37FR. Both hitches have an 18,000lb capacity and can automatically slide back...

• Underbed Fixed Fifth Wheel Hitch for Short Bed 2020 Chevy Silverado 2500 w/o OEM Rail Kit
  Since you have a Turning Point pin box you can't use the Companion hitch # BWRK3500 since it attaches through the center of the hitch to the gooseneck rail kit. The twisting torque of the Turning Point will damage the hitch as that style of pin box requires the hitch to attach in the four corners of the hitch like standard hitches. So for an underbed solution your best and only option is the Underbed Rail Kit from Demco part # DR37FR which is custom fit for your truck and the fixed hitch...

• What Sliding 5th-Wheel Hitch do You Recommend for My 2022 Chevy SIlverado 2500 without OEM Prep?
  On your 2022 Chevy Silverado 2500 with a 6-3/4 ft. bed without OEM prep, I recommend the Demco Hijacker # DM8550022 (18k) or # DM8550037 (21k). The great thing about the Hijacker is its autoslide function that takes away the pain and inconvenience that comes with having to manually adjust the slider on other 5th-wheel hitches. Another feature of the Hijacker is the 360 degree wrap-around jaw. This style jaw provides you with a super secure contact point for your kingpin connection. As...

• Underbed Mounting Kit For Reese Elite 5th Wheel Hitch That Fits My 2022 Chevrolet Silverado 3500
  I spoke with a representative from Resse Products. I was informed that Reese has not had an underbed mounting option for the Chevrolet Silverado 2019. You can use the Reese Quick-Install Custom Outboard Installation Kit w/ Base Rails for 5th Wheel Trailer Hitches, part # RP84FR, but it is an above the rail option. This is a universal mounting kit that will be compatible with your Reese Elite 5th wheel hitch. I have included a product description link below.

• Is Sliding 5th Wheel Hitch Necessary for 2022 GMC 2500 Short Bed Towing Montana 3741FK 5th Wheel
  I've checked out photos of your 5th wheel, and since the front corners of your 5th wheel aren't dished or concaved in, I'd recommend using a sliding hitch to prevent the 5th wheel from contacting your truck cab during turns. The Demco Hijacker Autoslide would be a great choice for you, which would eliminate the need to exit the vehicle to disengage the slider for low speed maneuvering. During turns, the hitch head will disengage and slide rearward to provide additional clearance to the...

• Recommended Underbed 5th Wheel System and Sliding Hitch for 2021 Chevy 2500 Compatibility
  There is not currently a non-OEM underbed puck system compatible with your 2021 Chevy 2500. The Reese Elite underbed pucks are what fit your Ford compatible Sliding 5th wheel hitch, but they have not yet made a compatible system for the new model Chevy/GM trucks as of 11/2020. Unfortunately that means there isn't currently a fit compatible with your hitch for your truck so another option will need to be considered.

• Recommended 5TH Wheel Hitch System For a 2021 GMC Sierra 2500 Short Bed Without Factory Puck/Prep
  I have another recommendation for you as I have heard a lot of complaints about the Curt CrossWing # C32DR and the amount of noise it makes. I also do not feel the offset is going to be enough to prevent damage between your truck and trailer when maneuvering. I recommend going with the Demco Autoslide 5th Wheel Trailer Hitch # DM8550022 on your 2021 GMC Sierra 2500. This uses the Demco UMS System # DR37FR which places the rails under your bed so you can maintain the clean bed when you...

• Demco 21K Hijacker AutoSlide 5th Wheel Hitch for 2021 GMC Sierra Short Bed
  The Demco Hijacker Auto Slide 5th wheel hitch is a great choice for short bed trucks. For the 2021 GMC Sierra 2500, you'll want to use the # DM8550035 which is compatible with the # DM6333 adapter that fits into the GM puck system (assuming your truck is equipped with the puck system). If your truck doesn't have the GM puck system, and you want an under-bed mount you'd use the # DM8550037 along with the Demco # DR37FR under-bed rails. If you'd like to install a 7-way connector in the...

• Best Towing Option For A 2022 Keystone Montana 3121RL Pulled With A 2021 GMC Sierra 3500 6-3/4 Bed
  The Reese Goose Box 5th-Wheel-to-Gooseneck Air Ride Coupler Adapter # RP85FR is only going to be roughly 3/4" longer from the 5th wheel pin box that comes standard on your 2022 Keystone Montana 3121RL. For this reason I do not recommend using this when towing with your 2021 GMC Sierra 3500 with the standard length bed. To make it simple the rear axle center line is approximately 42" from the cab of your Sierra. The Montana is 8' wide, at a full jackknife turn 6" of your Sierra is going...

• 2022 GMC Sierra 2500 Recommended Underbed Kit to Tow 5th Wheel Trailer
  The underbed hitch system I recommend for your 2022 GMC Sierra 2500 is the B&W Gooseneck Hitch # BWGNRK1020-5W that can be paired with the Sliding # BWRVK3400-5W or Stationary # BWRVK3500-5W B&W Companion 5th wheel hitch since there isn't a standard aftermarket puck system for your truck. We do have the Demco kit # DR37FR which looks more similar to the OEM puck kit, but Demco designed this to only work with their 5th wheel hitches as a direct connection so you'll get a lot more use out...
