What B&W 5th Wheel Hitch Do You Recommend For My 2022 GMC Sierra Short Bed With Tow Package

Question:

What 5th wheel hitch should I use on my 2022 GMC Sierra 2500 with the short bed and the tow prep package? Should I use a fixed B&W or the slider B&W Companion 5th Wheel Hitch?

The reason you go with a slider instead of a fixed 5th wheel hitch is because you might not have enough clearance when you are making sharp turns if you have a fixed 5th wheel hitch. We usually recommend to slider if you have a short bed because it eliminates this issue.

The B&W Companion OEM 5th Wheel Hitch w/ Slider for Chevy/GMC Towing Prep Package - Dual Jaw - 20K, part # BWRVK3775, is the slider that is compatible with your 2022 GMC Sierra 2500. It provides an additional 12" of clearance and it locks into the receiver pucks of your truck.

If you need a 7-way connector for your truck, you can install the Curt 5th Wheel/Gooseneck Wiring Harness 7-Pole - GM, Ford, Dodge, Nissan, Toyota w/ Factory Tow, part # C56000.
