• 5th Wheel Towing Capacity and Hitch Recommendations for a 2016 GMC Sierra 2500HD Short Bed
  The dry hitch weight, also called tongue weight for travel trailers or pin weight for 5th wheel trailers, is the amount of weight pushing down on the trailer hitch. Dry means the trailer is empty; no cargo, water, propane, just the trailer by itself. So the dry weight is less important than the actual hitch/tongue/pin weight when the trailer is loaded and ready to tow. Based on the figures you have provided the trailer has a hitch weight that is 21 percent of the gross trailer weight (21...

• Recommended Demco Hijacker Autoslide Compatible with 2012 GMC Sierra and 2021 GMC Sierra
  I have a solution for you, but Demco does not make a hitch that will drop directly into the pucks on a GMC truck, so you would have to use an adapter on the new truck.
