Can Fixed B&W Companion 5th Wheel Hitch Fit Short Bed 2020 Chevy Silverado 2500 with OEM Rail Kit
Question:
Is the puck system the same for the long and short bed on the 2020 Chevy 2500? All I see for short bed is a slider hitch and I don’t want a slider.

The puck design of the short and long bed 2020 Chevy Silverado 2500 like what you have is the exact same so if you wanted to install a fixed B and W Companion hitch # BWRVK3715 in your short bed truck instead of the slider that is normally recommended # BWRVK3775 you certainly could.
Normally a slider hitch is needed for the short bed trucks to provide the needed turning clearance but if your trailer has a tapered nose or a Sidewinder pin box the slider wouldn't be needed and a fixed hitch would work great.
I attached review videos for both hitches for you to check out as well.
