Fifth Wheel Hitch Recommendation for 2019 GMC Sierra 2500 with OEM Rail Kit

Question

Question:

I have a 2019 gmc 2500 with the factory gooseneck package. I’m looking to do a gooseneck convert on from 5th wheel. What do you recommend?

If your 2019 GMC Sierra 2500 has the OEM gooseneck hitch that would mean it also has the OEM rail kit for a fifth wheel hitch so you could fit a hitch directly to it with the Reese M5 part # RP30895 which would work extremely well. Most fifth wheel to gooseneck adapters actually void the warranty of the RV frame so they aren't the best option if they can be avoided.
