Is There an Underbed Mounting Kit Available for 5th Wheel Hitch on 2020 GMC Sierra 2500 6-1/2 Ft Bed
Question:
My truck did not come with factory 5th puck system. Is there an aftermarket frame mount that is all under the bed so I can use a puck mount hitch?

I have a solution for you, but unfortunately for the 2020 GMC Sierra 2500 with the 6-1/2 foot long bed, there is not an underbed mounting kit available. For this reason you would need to use an above bed rail kit and 5th wheel hitch.
I recommend using the Reese # C16541 and rail kit # RP84FR, which is a custom fit for your truck. The # C16541 gives you a bit extra fore/aft travel on the slider than some of the other available hitches for your truck with 12" of travel, and the dual hook jaw provides 360 jaw to kingpin contact for less rattle and superior security.
