Recommended 5th Wheel Hitch for 2015 Chevy Silverado 2500 Using Lippert Turning Point Pin Box

Question:

I just purchased a 2019 fifth wheel camper that’s 36’ and came with a turning point. I have a 2015 2500 Silverado Diramax with a short bed and crew cab. What is the best fifth wheel hitch to pair with the turning point? I’m not crazy about sliders so I’d like to leave the turning point functional rather than to bolt it rigid.

The best fifth wheel hitch for a 2015 Chevrolet Silverado 2500 is B&W Patriot 5th Wheel Trailer Hitch part # BWRVK3255 with the B&W Custom Installation Kit part # BWRVK2506. This is a fixed fifth wheel hitch which you can use with a short bed because the rotating pin box. The B&W Patriot is a high quality option with a set of dual locking jaws that form a super tight grip on the kingpin to better improve ride quality. The install kit also won't require any drilling into the frame.

I'd also add the Curt 5th Wheel/Gooseneck Custom Wiring Harness part # C56070 to complete the setup.
