Expert Reply:
The B&W Patriot 5th Wheel Trailer Hitch part # BWRVK3200 for 16K or part # BWRVK3270 for 18K is the what I recommend for a 2016 GMC Sierra 2500 6-1/2' Bed. They are made in the USA and come with a lifetime warranty. They also have 3/4' thick jaws which grip the kingpin tight which provides a smooth ride and the cam-action handle allows for uncoupling on uneven terrain. In order to use either of these you'll need the B&W Custom Installation Kit w/ Base Rails for 5th Wheel Trailer Hitches part # BWRVK2506.
