Expert Reply:

The Curt E5 Fifth Wheel Hitch you referenced, part # 16516 would be a good choice for your 2001 Sierra if it is equipped with the 6-1/2 foot bed. The E5 features a 4-way pivoting head and a non binding round tube slider. If you have the 8 foot bed, use the non-sliding model, part # C16115.

I would also recommend the Curt fifth wheel install kit, part # C16418-104. This is a custom install kit that typically takes half the time to install as a universal kit like part # C16100.

To provide a trailer connector in your truck bed, you will also need part # PK11893-11932. This wiring harness will plug inline with the factory trailer connector.
