Recommended 5th Wheel Hitch for 2022 Chevrolet Silverado 3500 Short Bed with OEM Prep Package
Question:
Please tell me what 5th wheel hitch I should get for a 2022 Chevy Silverado 3500 with a short bed and pucks. I also need wiring for the truck bed.

For your 2022 Chevrolet Silverado 3500 with a 6-3/4' bed and OEM prep package, I recommend the B&W Companion OEM 5th Wheel Hitch w/ Slider # BWRVK3775. The 1" thick dual jaw on the Companion provides a tight, sturdy connection and provides easier hookup and a quieter ride. The non-binding cam-action latch handle makes it simple to release, even un unlevel terrain. This hitch is made in the USA.
For wiring, I recommend the Curt # C56070. This will provide you with the 7-way connection in your truck bed you're looking for. It plugs in-line with your existing 7-way at the back of your truck.
I have attached some review and installation videos for you to check out.
