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!!

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.

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.

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.

by: Ted09/25/2019
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: Dave 02/28/2020
I'm very happy with the quality of work. Shipping was was quick. The install was very quick and easy. I hope to get a lot of year of use. We purchased this to be able to pull our camper for the summer. Thank you for making our life easier.

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.

- 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 adapter # DM6333 has a 21K weight capacity and it is compatible with your puck system whether you have the long or short bed.

The unit will drop into the pucks of your truck's bed with no extra drilling or modification to your vehicle or hitch. Then the Reese hitch will connect to the Demco adapter.

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...

This rail adapter will mount to the pucks in the bed and provide industry standard rails that the Hijacker mounts to.

view full answer... - Reese Hitch and Sidewinder Recommendation for 2019 GMC Sierra 3500 Short Bed with OEM Rail KitSince we know you have a Rota-Flex pin box on your trailer we also know that there is a Sidewinder that can fit as a replacement. We do need to know more info though to determine which specific Sidewinder you need. You'll need to look for an LCI number like 1621, 1116, 1716 etc. and we'll know which is the correct fit. If you have a Lippert 1621, 1621HD or 0719 you'd want the part # RP34FR. If you have a Lippert 1116, 1716 or 0115 you'd want # RP77FR. So the other part of this that gets...
view full answer... - Demco 5th Wheel Rail Adapter for a 2018 GMC Sierra 2500 with Factory Puck SystemThe correct adapter for the factory puck system on your 2018 GMC Sierra 2500 is the part # DM6194 if you have a 6-1/2' bed or part # DM6206 if you have an 8' bed (because the puck dimensions vary between the bed lengths for some reason). The adapter # DM6333 that you referenced is a fit for a 2020 GMC Sierra 2500 with either the 6-3/4' or the 8' bed. If you don't already have a 5th wheel hitch and your pickup has a short bed then I recommend the Hijacker Autoslide 18K # DM8550034 or 21K...

It's designed for Chevy/GMC trucks with OEM 5th Wheel Towing Prep Package with the 6-1/2' beds. Since you're using a slider, I assume you have a short bed, but if you have a long bed, you would instead need to use adapter # DM6206, and just make sure to keep the slider mechanism locked, since you won't need the extra turning clearance. The adapter simply drops into the four...

- How to Use Underbed Demco Hijacker Autoslide 21K in Bed of 2019 GMC 3500 Sierra with OEM Rail KitYou'll need to install the above-bed style side plates on your Demco Hijacker 21k with part # DM6003 so that you can use the GM rail kit adapter for short bed trucks part # DM6194. This adapter fits the rail kit in your 2019 GMC 3500 Sierra short bed and will fit your Demco hitch once you install the side plates # DM6003 on them.

The adapter installs in the housing for the gooseneck ball, and provide a set of industry standard bed rails for your hitch to attach to. Unfortunately, Reese doesn't offer a leg kit like what's used on the # RP30918 hitch that's compatible with the GM puck system. I've linked to a product demonstration...

If by standard bed you mean the 6-1/2 foot bed then the adapter you can use is # DM6194. If you have the 8 foot bed then use adapter # DM6206. Your Reese hitch will fit these adapters.
view full answer... - Is the Demco Rail Adapter Compatible with SuperGlide 2700 on 2019 Chevy Silverado 2500 6-1/2' BedYes, if you have the PullRite SuperGlide 2700 that fits industry standard rails then it is compatible with the Demco 5th Wheel Rail Adapter # DM6194 that fits the factory pucks on your 2019 Chevy Silverado 2500 with the 6-1/2' bed. This adapter is rated for up to 21K so the limiting factor will still be your 16K SuperGlide.

Instead you can use the Demco Rail Adapter # DM6194 which is essentially the same thing as the Reese option, just from Demco and it fits your short bed pickup. If you have a long bed then you need the Demco Rail Adapter # DM6206 instead. At this time (March 2020) Reese doesn't have a rail adapter...

The center connection will give you the towing you need and the 4 puck locations even though they don't lock in the pucks will minimize any excessive movement of the hitch.

At this time there is not a higher capacity adapter available from any manufacturer. I also suggest adding a...
view full answer... - Best Slider Fifth Wheel Hitch Recommendation for 2018 GMC Sierra 3500 Short Bed with Rail KitThe best slider hitch solution we have for your 2018 GMC Sierra 3500HD short bed with the factory puck system is going to be the Demco Hijacker part # DM8550035 with the GM rail kit adapter part # DM6194. What's great about this slider hitch is that as you make tight turns this hitch will automatically slide back so that you don't have to get out and activate the slider at all. I attached a review video for this hitch that shows how it works below as well.
view full answer... - Adapter to Fit Reese Fifth Wheel Rail Kit in Bed of 2018 GMC Sierra 3500 with OEM Rail KitI have a solution for you that would work with both your truck and hitch but the Curt rail kit adapter # C16023 that you referenced only works with Curt slider hitches. So instead you'd want the Demco adapter part # DM6194.

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.
