Recommended 5th Wheel Hitch for 2022 Chevrolet Silverado 2500 8 Foot Bed Without OEM Prep Package
Question:
I am looking to add a 5th wheel hitch to my 2022 Silverado 2500 with an 8 ft bed. I don't have the prep package so I know I will need to install some stuff. What do you recommend?

Expert Reply:
For your 2022 Chevrolet Silverado 2500 I recommend the B&W Companion 5th Wheel Trailer Hitch - Dual Jaw # BWRVK3500-5W. This hitch uses a rail free design allowing for full access to your truck bed when it is removed. It features a cam-action latching handle that helps prevent binding and is simple to release on uneven terrain. It has a gross towing weight of 20,000 lbs and is made in the USA.
In order to use this hitch you are correct, you will need to install some stuff. Specifically, the Custom Underbed Installation Kit for B&W Companion 5th Wheel Trailer Hitches # BWGNRK1020-5W. This also doubles as a gooseneck hitch when the fifth wheel hitch is removed.
I have attached some review and installation videos for your reference.
