In order to mount a Demco Hijacker FWH24 on a 2018 GMC Sierra 1500 you'll need the Demco Hijacker Premier Series Custom Mounting Brackets part # DM8552027 and Replacement Rails for Demco Hijacker 5th Wheel Trailer Hitch part # DM6014.

Please note, this option only works if the hitch previously used rails which mounted left to right and not front to back.
