Best 5th Wheel Hitch for Towing with a 2020 Chevy Silverado 2500HD Long Bed and OEM Pucks

Question:

Just purchased a 2020 Silverado 2500. I made sure to get the long bed with the pucks in it and I'm searching for a good solution to tow a fifth wheel trailer. What do you recommend.

I highly recommend the B&W Companion OEM 5th Wheel Hitch # BWRVK3715 for your 2020 Chevy Silverado 2500 for a few reasons. It fits directly to your puck system without the need for an adapter kit, it features 1" dual jaws that have proven to do a great job at keeping the king pin on your trailer pin box very secure, the Companion comes with a cam-action latching handle that makes releasing it effortless when you're on uneven ground, and B&W makes all of their products right here in the USA.

A few additional points I'd like to highlight is that the head can be adjusted to 6 different locations to give you the most level ride and the head is fully articulating which means it not only helps to make connecting to your trailer easier but it also helps to limit chucking which is that back-and-forth movement when you slow down or take off.

The head unit of the Companion can be easily removed to help cut the 155 lb weight of the 5th wheel hitch in half but if you have a crane or something similar you can use the Lifting Device # BWRVXA3130 to remove the Companion and have a completely clear bed when you aren't towing.
