Best Slider Fifth Wheel Hitch Recommendation for 2018 GMC Sierra 3500 Short Bed with Rail Kit
Question:
We just purchased a 2018 GMC Sierra 3500HD short bed, it also has the factory puck system in it. We have a 35ft fifth wheel and we now need to get a new hitch, we need a slider hitch now. What are your suggestions on a hitch that will fit our truck and trailer? Thanks,

Expert Reply:
The 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.
