The Reese M5 5th Wheel Trailer Hitch for Chevy/GMC Towing Prep Package part # RP30890 is an excellent option for a 2018 GMC Sierra 3500. It has a wrap-around jaw design which will grip the kingpin tightly therefore reducing the amount of slop which attributes to a rough tow. It also has a very wide funnel which is going to make coupling the trailer much easier. The hitch simply drops into the pucks in the truck bed and then all you'll need to do is turn the handles to lock it in place.

Unless GM changes the pattern of the puck system, the Adapter Rails for Curt 5th Wheel Hitch item #C88KR will still fit the 2024 GM trucks with the OEM puck system. I have no way of knowing if the puck system is changing next year.
