  • TruXedo Sentry Hard Tonneau Cover for 2022 GMC Sierra 3500
  • I have a great hard tonneau Cover for your 2022 GMC Sierra 3500. I recommend the TruXedo Sentry Hard Tonneau Cover item # TX1572801. This TruXedo Hard Cover is a roll-up cover that sits just 1/2" above the bed rails made with heavy-duty vinyl fabric and thick aluminum slats. It is tylish and durable with a low-profile.

  • Converting a Curt Q20 5TH Wheel Hitch To Fit a 2022 GMC Sierra 3500 Long Bed With Factory Prep/Puck
  • To mount a Curt Q20 5th Wheel Trailer Hitch # C16130 into your 2022 GMC Sierra 3500 there are a couple options. First and easiest is to use the Adapter Rails # C88KR that will drop into your factory prep/puck system and give you the connection points for your Curt Q20 hitch to drop into. This will add an additional 2-1/2" of height to your hitch height. So rather than 13" to 17" of height you will have 15-1/2" to 19-1//2" of height from your bed. The second option will require you to...

  • Equipment Needed to Flat Tow 2014 Volkswagen Jetta
  • If your Jetta is a non-hybrid model and has the 5 speed manual transmission, it is capable be being flat towed. The automatic and 6 speed manual need to be towed on a tow dolly like # RM-2050-1, according to my research. If you can tow your particular vehicle, you'll need base plates, safety cables, a tow bar, a wiring harness, a supplemental braking system and possibly a high/low adapter. For base plates, use # 521236-1 and # RM-643 safety cables. For a tow bar, I'd recommend an all-terrain...

  • Fifth Wheel Trailer Hitch to Work with Curt EZr Gooseneck Trailer Hitch on 2015 GMC Sierra 3500
  • With the Curt EZr Gooseneck Trailer Hitch # C611-624 in your 2015 GMC Sierra 3500 use the Curt X5 Base Rail Adapter # C16220. The X5 fits into the gooseneck hitch and provides you with standard fifth wheel base rails in the bed of your truck. Once you have the X5 you can use any hitch that fits standard rails like the B&W Patriot # BWRVK3255. This hitch has a dual-jaw for a smoother ride. It also features a fully articulating head to ease hookup on uneven ground.

  • Will My B&W Companion Gooseneck To Fifth Wheel Adapter Work With My 2016 GMC 3500 Long Bed
  • It all depends on what shape the hole is where the hitch ball goes into. If it is square then your B&W Hitch # BWRVK3500 will be fine and it will fit right in. For example like this B&W Gooseneck hitch # BWGNRK1020. The opening is square. Now If you don't have a square opening your only option would be The Convert-A-Ball # CAB-C5G which will sit on your gooseneck ball and turn into an attachment point for your fifth wheel trailer. I will have a link below of the Convert-A-Ball.

  • Battery Box For 4 Optima Blue Top Marine Batteries
  • I'm assuming that you're speaking of an Optima Blue Top battery like their D34M which measures 10 inches long x 6.88 inches W x 7.8 inches tall. We do indeed offer a box that would accommodate 4 batteries of that size, with some room to spare. I'd recommend the # TLA7710R from Torklift. The box measures 58-1/2 x 7-5/8 x 12-3/4 inches, so it would accommodate up to 5 batteries of that size. Torklift doesn't offer a vent setup, but the box does slots for proper ventilation.

  • Is A Sliding 5th Wheel Hitch Needed For A 2022 GMC Sierra 3500 Long Bed?
  • You will not need a sliding hitch like the B&W Companion # BWRVK3770 you currently have. A sliding hitch is needed on a short bed truck because of the positioning of where the hitch will be mounted, in relation to the cab of your truck and it being too close to each other. The slider would slide back when you make tight turns while towing your 5th wheel trailer, that way there will be no impact to your truck cab. If your 2022 GMC Sierra 3500 has the OEM prep (pucks) package, you can use...

  • Under-Bed 5th Wheel Mounting Rails for Curt Hitch 2015 GMC Sierra 3500
  • I'd be happy to help you with that. For the underbed rail system, you'd use the Reese # RP30868. The # RP30061 you'd looked at is for the previous generation truck, and wouldn't work on your 2015 Sierra 3500. The puck layout is the same as what Ford uses, so you can just choose a Curt 5th wheel hitch for the Ford puck system and it'll work great. I see that you'd looked at the Curt Q24 # C16245 which is a great choice. In order to fit the pucks provided by the Reese # RP30868 underbed...

  • Recommended Solution to Help With Chucking While Towing 5th Wheel That Already Has FlexAir Pin Box
  • First off, thank you for being a repeat etrailer.com customer! We definitely appreciate you coming back to us. With that said, I may have a solution for you, but air bags are not the answer for this since it's not your vehicle's suspension system that is causing this. Chucking and jarring while towing a 5th wheel trailer (or any trailer for that matter) is unavoidable because the trailer itself is not one piece with your vehicle. When your truck starts to move forward from a stop your trailer...

  • Can A Reese Goose Box Be Used With A Rhino Box Pin Box?
  • Thanks for the picture! I reached out to Lippert to verify your pin box on your 2022 Jayco Pinnacle, and they informed me that your trailer has a 21K Rhino Box Pin Box. Unfortunately, since your trailer has this pin box, you will not be able to use the Reese Goose Box 5th-Wheel-to-Gooseneck Air Ride Coupler Adapter # RP94716-61301. Instead, what you can do is use the Convert-A-Ball Cushioned 5th-Wheel-to-Gooseneck Adapter # CAB-C5G which will bolt to your kingpin. Additionally, when...

  • Does 2019 GMC Sierra 3500 Denali Come with Factory Rails for 5th Wheel Hitch
  • Great question! You can actually purchase the 2019 GMC Sierra 3500 Denali with a factory puck package (that sits flush with your truck bed) or there are aftermarket options for using a 5th wheel hitch as well (which are offered with rails above or below the bed). If you decide to go aftermarket then I do recommend getting rails that sit below the bed because then when you aren't towing your 5th wheel hitch you have full access to your truck bed. Just for reference, B&W offers 5th wheel...

  • Which 5th Wheel Hitch for 2019 GMC Sierra 3500 Denali Towing Grand Design Solitude 321RL
  • You'll want to choose your 5th wheel hitch based off of the GVWR of the trailer you're towing, but I typically like going with something a bit higher rated to give you some wiggle room if you decide to get a larger trailer in the future. I recommend using the B&W Companion OEM 5th Wheel Hitch w/ Slider for Chevy/GMC Towing Prep Package - Dual Jaw - 20K # BWRVK3770, which will fit in the OEM prep package on your 2019 GMC Sierra 3500 Denali. This hitch has a capacity of 20k so it's well...

  • I Need a 24K 5th Wheel Hitch for a 2015 GMC Sierra 3500 with a B&W Gooseneck Hitch
  • I may have a solution that will work for you, but there are no fifth wheel hitches compatible with the B&W gooseneck hitch with a weight capacity over 20,000 lbs. If you did not want to completely remove the gooseneck hitch, then you could use a fifth-wheel-to-gooseneck coupler adapter like the Ranch Hitch Adapter, # AM3100. This adapter bolts to the underside of the pin box on your trailer at the king pin and hooks directly to the gooseneck ball. We actually use an adapter similar to this...

  • Recommended Air Lift Air Bag and Compressor System for a 2015 GMC Sierra 3500 4WD Dually
  • I recommend using the Air Lift LoadLifter 5000 Ultimate Air Springs w/ Internal Bumpers # AL88338, which are compatible with your in-bed 5th wheel hitch, dual rear wheels, and require no drilling for installation. The AirLift system will do a great job of providing added support on the rear axle when you're towing your 5th wheel, that will ultimately help improve steering and braking performance, as well as fight body roll and sway. If you don't already have an on-board compressor system,...
