Best Fifth Wheel Hitch Recommendation for 2018 GMC Sierra 3500 with OEM Rail Kit
Question:
I own a 2018 GMC 3500 HD Single Rear Wheel, 4wd, 8foot bed with the 5th Wheel Prep package. I am purchasing a Montana High Country 362RD 5th wheel and need a recommendation for a hitch and the items to go with the hitch, possibly lube plate etc.

Expert Reply:
The B and W Companion hitch part # BWRVK3705 is a direct fit for your 2018 GMC Sierra 3500 with the OEM rail kit and since it's widely considered the best fifth wheel hitch option out there and has a higher 25k capacity it would be a really great option. People really like this hitch because of how well made it is, the fact it's made in the USA, can be broken down easily for easy install/removal, and how tight the king pin is held which equates into a smoother ride quality.
Then for a lube plate you'd want the part # RP83002 and you'd be set.
