Expert Answers about Chevrolet Silverado 2500


  • Recommended Auto Sliding 5th Wheel Hitch for 2019 Chevy Silverado 2500 Short Bed
  • The hitch you need will depend on whether your truck is equipped with the factory tow/prep package with the pucks sunk into the truck bed and the weight capacity you're looking for. For a truck equipped with the tow prep package, for a 18K rated hitch go with The Demco Hijacker Autoslide # DM8550034 and the # DM6194 install adapter. For a 21K capacity, use the # DM8550035 hitch along with the same # DM6194 adapter. If your truck doesn't have the pucks in the truck bed, use the # DM8550022...

  • How To Increase Turning Clearance While Using Anderson Ultimate 5th Wheel Hitch
  • The Anderson Ultimate 5th Wheel Hitch is a great, lightweight fifth wheel hitch option. The kicker however is that it does not really provide much additional turning clearance which you'll need when towing with a short bed truck. I know this isn't what you want to hear but there isn't anything you can do with this setup to increase turning clearance, you can't make any more adjustments to the hitch and there won't be a longer pin box to use. The only option you have is to go with a sliding...

  • Correct 5th Wheel Installation Bracket and Hardware For 2021 Chevy Silverado 2500 W/ 6-3/4 Bed
  • I have a different option for you, but the Reese Quick-Install Custom Brackets # RP50074 you were looking at is actually for a 2017-2022 Ford F-250 or F-350 and will not be correct for your 2021 Chevy Silverado 2500. Instead you will need the Curt Custom 5th Wheel Bracket Kit for Chevy/GMC Truck # C16429 which is confirmed to fit your truck and will allow you to use your current above bed rails assuming they are the industry standard rails and are made by Curt. If your rails are made by...

  • Recommended Sliding 5th Wheel Hitch for 2020 Chevy Silverado 2500 with Factory Pucks
  • For your 2020 Chevy Silverado 2500 with the short bed I highly recommend the B&W Companion Slider OEM 5th Wheel Hitch # BWRVK3775 for a few reasons. The Companion features robust 1" thick dual jaws that provide full contact with the king pin. What this does in real life is create an extremely secure connection to the trailer while also allowing for a smooth, enjoyable towing experience. A lot of the rattle and movement that you get at the connection point with most other hitches simply...

  • Recommended Sliding 5th Wheel Hitch for 2022 Chevy Silverado 2500 Short Bed
  • That is correct, you will need a sliding 5th wheel for your 2022 Chevy Silverado 2500 short bed. The best choice would be the B&W Companion OEM 5th Wheel Hitch w/ Slider for Chevy/GMC Towing Prep Package # BWRVK3775. The Companion features a 1" thick dual jaw to keep your connection secure and uses polyurethane bushings. The non-binding cam-action latch handle will allow you to quickly and easily release the jaws on the hitch, even if you are on uneven terrain. This hitch, like all B&W...

  • Are the Fifth Wheel Rail Kits for Chevy and GM Trucks Different Based on Bed Length
  • There are two reasons the B and W Companion hitch part # BWRVK3700 only shows up for the 8 foot bed models of the 2016 Chevy Silverado 2500HD with the factory rail kit. Biggest reason is because the rail kits between the short and long bed GM rail kits are different dimensions so the hitch won't physically fit. Also because for a short bed truck you'd want to use a slider hitch to have enough turning clearance like the # BWRVK3770 which does fit and would work well. If you have a long...

  • Recommended 5th Wheel Hitch for a 2018 Ford F-250
  • Yes, for your 2018 Ford F-250 I highly recommend the Curt A16 5th Wheel Hitch part # C16521. The Curt A16 is my favorite 5th wheel hitch due to its dual interlocking jaw system which grips the kingpin extremely tight so there is very little movement which can cause a rough ride. The Curt A16 also has an easy one pin head removal system that allows for one person to remove the hitch one their own in two pieces and it is cost effective when compared to similar options with the dual locking...

  • Can Offset Fifth Wheel to Gooseneck Adapters Be Used with Offset Gooseneck Hitch Balls
  • You cannot use an offset ball adapter # BWGNXA4085 with the Ranch Hitch Universal 5th-Wheel-to-Gooseneck Coupler Adapter w/8" Offset # AM3139. Having multiple offsets ends up putting too much strain on the trailer and hitch. The better choice would be the offset ball adapter though as it moves the pivot point back which helps more with turning clearance than the offset of the Ranch Hitch which only pushes the trailer back from wherever it is pivoting from. The none-offset version of the...

  • Can B&W Gooseneck Hitch from 2015 Chevy Silverado 2500 Convert to 2018 Model
  • From 2015 to 2016 there was a big enough change to the Chevy Silverado 2500 models that B and W had to come out with an all new hitch fit for the truck. That means that for your 2018 model you'd need the # BWGNRK1016 for an all new kit or if you wanted just the rails to move the center section to the new truck you'd want the part # BWGNRM1016.

  • Air Bag Kit that Fits 2024 Chevy Silverado 2500 ZR2 Bison
  • I checked with Firestone and their Ride Rite kit part # F2613 is a confirmed fit for your 2024 Chevy Silverado 2500 ZR2 Bison. If you wanted a way to inflate the bags and maintain them easily the Firestone Compressor kit part # F2097 would be a great option. It puts a gauge in the interior of your truck that has a switch to inflate/deflate and a heady duty compressor that works quicker than lighter duty options.

  • 2024 Chevy Silverado 2500 Short Bed Puck System 5th Wheel Hitch Recommendation
  • I recommend going with the 30K Curt PowerRide # C36WR for the puck system on your 2024 Chevy Silverado 2500 short bed because of the high weight capacity and the smooth towing experience it offers. Normally for short bed trucks we recommend a sliding 5th wheel hitch, but we've seen multiple users be able to still have enough cab clearance with a stationary hitch on the GM pickups. Basically as long as your 5th wheel trailer has a tapered nose (which all of the modern ones do) then you'll...

  • Best 5th Wheel Hitch for 2020 Chevy Silverado 2500 Short Bed Towing High Country Trailer
  • For your 2020 Chevy Silverado 2500 short bed with the factory puck system I highly recommend the B&W OEM Companion Slider # BWRVK3775. I like an awful lot about this particular hitch but some of the features that really stand out are its 1" thick dual jaws that create an extremely secure connection to the trailer and contribute to a really smooth, quiet ride during travel, along with a unique cam-action latching handle that allows for easy release even when on unlevel ground. If you've...
