Since your 2021 Chevy Silverado 3500 with the OEM rail kit is a short bed truck you would need a slider hitch to allow you to make sharp turns. For that you'd want the # BWRVK3775 which is the slider hitch that fits directly to your OEM rail kit.

Since your new truck is a few inches taller than your previous one you might be able to adjust the height of the 5th wheel hitch to compensate. For example, the Pro Series #PS30119 provides a 4-inch adjustment range, from 13-inches to 17-inches…

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.…

Beds shorter than 8 foot do commonly need a slider hitch David, but a lot of modern fifth wheel trailers are now made with tapered noses to help and in a lot of cases a slider isn't required. So if the trailer you plan to tow has a tapered nose…
