Automatically Sliding Fifth Wheel Hitch Recommendation for 2020 Chevy Silverado 2500 w/ Tow Prep Pkg

Question:

I have a 2020 Chevy Silverado 2500 short bed with the hitch mount holes in the bed. I'd like an automatically sliding fifth wheel hitch, can you recommend one?

Demco offers two different Hijacker Autoslide models that would work with your Silverado short bed. For a hitch with a 21K capacity, use # DM8550035 or # DM8550034 for an 18K capacity.

The Demco Autoslide will actually slide the hitch head rearward as you're negotiating a turn. As the turn is completed, the hitch moves back into the towing position. This is all done automatically.

Keep in mind, that special locking plates are needed if your fifth wheel uses an air cushioned pin box.

I've linked you to a product description video showing how the hitch works.
