Slider Fifth Wheel Hitch that Can Work with 2021 Chevy Silverado 1500 5-3/4 ft Bed
Question:
Can you have a Sliding fifth wheel installed on a 2021 Chevy Silverado 1500 Crew Cab with a 5ft 6in bed?
asked by: Chuck
Helpful Expert Reply:
There's one slider hitch that can slide back far enough to give you the turning clearance you'd need for a bed shorter than 6 feet like your 2021 Chevy Silverado 1500 5-3/4 foot bed and that is the Demco Hijacker part # DM8550040 which can slide back 22-1/2 inches whereas most hitches only slide about half that.
You'd need a rail kit installed in your truck too and for that the best option is a custom fit kit like the Reese part # RP56015-53.
