Congratulations on the new truck!

I have a few options for you, but unfortunately there is not underbed 5th wheel rails available to mount the Curt A16 5th Wheel Trailer Hitch # C16120 from your Ram to your new 2021 Chevrolet Silverado 2500.

There are two options, the first being installing standard above bed rails like the Curt Custom Fifth Wheel Installation Kit for Chevy/GMC Truck - Carbide Finish # C16429-204 which will allow you to use your A16 # C16120.

The second option is to switch to the B&W Companion 5th Wheel Trailer Hitch # BWRVK3500-5W which uses the Custom Underbed Installation Kit # BWGNRK1020-5W. This is currently the only underbed hitch for your truck and can also be used as a gooseneck hitch if needed.

If your truck has the OEM Prep Package you can use the Curt OEM 5th Wheel Hitch Legs for Chevy/GMC Towing Prep Package # CU53FR to convert your A16 to work with the OEM pucks.

I included videos for each of the products mentioned for you to take a look at.

The hitch best suited for your truck will depend on if your 2021 GMC Sierra 2500 is a short or long bed and whether your truck is equipped with the factory tow/prep package which includes the puck mounts in the truck bed. If you have the puck system,…

You will have to go with a sliding hitch to allow the trailer to make tight turns. For a trailer 8 feet wide the only bed length that's going to allow 90 degree turns without a slider is a stationary hitch. That being said you have two options.…
