Will Demco HiJacker Fit Curt Adapter in a 2017 Chevy Silverado 2500 Short Bed w/Factory Puck System
Question:
Is the Curt Fifth Wheel Hitch Adapter #C16023 compatible with the Demco Hijacker Autoslide #DM8550034? If not, what about the Reese #RP30156. Ultimately, I would like to use the Demco Hijaker on my 2017 Chevrolet Silverado 2500 HD 4x4 with the pre-installed puck system. Any thoughts?

Expert Reply:
The Demco HiJacker # DM8550034 will not fit the Curt adapter # C16023 on your 2017 Chevy Silverado 2500 with the factory puck system. The adapter has support rails that would prevent the hitch from fitting. Instead you can use the Demco adapter, # DM6194. The Reese adapter also will not work.
Another option is a hitch that will fit directly into the puck system. For this you can use the B&W Companion # BWRVK3770. This is a slider hitch that has 12 inches of travel and is rated for 20,000 pounds. And with it you will not need an adapter.
