Recommended Heavy Duty 5th Wheel Trailer Hitch for a 2020 GMC Sierra 3500 with Factory Pucks
Question:
I have a 2020 GM Sierra 3500 that I will be towing a 5th wheel trialer. I already have the puck system on it from the factory and I'm searching for a hitch now. If you could recommend something for me that is heavy duty(for peace of mind) I would appreciate it!

Thank you for all of the info!
If your 2020 GMC Sierra 3500 has a short bed then I recommend the 21K Demco Hijacker # DM8550035 because it has an autosliding feature so that you can stay in your truck cab when making sharp turns. This also has an excellent wraparound jaw system and some cushioning for the head that contributes to a very comfortable ride quality. This installs in your puck system with the Adapter Kit # DM6333.
For the long bed version of your 2020 GMC Sierra 3500 I recommend the 25K B&W Companion # BWRVK3715. This 5th wheel hitch is a proven favorite among the 5th wheel community because of the durability of the hitch, the massive jaws that give one of the most secure connections on the market, and the cam-action latch handle that makes it a cinch to to disconnect on unlevel terrain. This hitch installs directly into your puck system without an adapter.
I have attached some review videos for all of these products that you can reference to get a good feel for them.
