Best American Made 5th Wheel Hitch For A 2022 Chevy Silverado 2500

Question:

I am looking for the heaviest American made 5th wheel hitch you have for a 2022 Chevy Silverado 2500 with a long bed and the factory prep package/pucks in the bed. I am already looking at installing the Firestone F2709 air bags and want something good to go along with it. What do you guys have available?

If you are looking for a heavy duty American made 5th wheel hitch for your 2022 Chevy 2500 long bed with the factory pucks, you will want the B&W Companion # BWRVK3715. This is rated up to 25,000 pounds towing and a vertical load of 6,250 pounds. This is, as requested, American made and will lock right into the pucks in your bed, making it a quick and easy install.

The Firestone Ride-Rite Red Label Extreme Duty Air Helper Springs # F2709, which is also American made, will match this very nicely as well. This is rated up to 7,500 pounds of load leveling capacity at 150 psi, so it will definitely help if you get any sag when towing. One potential add on to this though, will be an air compressor, like the Firestone Air Command II # F2219. This will allow you to inflate and deflate the bags on the fly instead of relying on an external air compressor source. Definitely a nice thing to have.
