B&W would be my top choice. For a 2018 GMC Sierra 3500 long bed with the factory puck system that would be # BWRVK3705. Not that Curt hitches are bad at all. But we rarely get questions from customers who have had any issues with B&W hitches because they are so well made.

If your Sierra is a short bed though you would need to use Curt hitch # C16546 with adapter # C16023 since there isn't a B&W slider option for the short bed versions.

The Patriot Slider part #BWRVK3270 might be a bit more noisy than the Companion slider part #BWRVK3400 due to the increased number of mounting points, 4 at the corners vs. 1 in the center. Probably not that noticeable and certainly not something…

Answer 12

Most standard pin boxes will not make a 90 degree turn in anything less than an 8 foot truck bed, but that is due to being too close to the cab - not the rails. You mentioned you wanted to replace the Rota-Flex with the Gen-Y hitch. Your old pin box…
