We have underbed fifth wheel solutions for your 2020 GMC Sierra 1500 but none that use the pucks like the OEM rail kits have for your truck since Reese does not make an Elite kit for your truck.

B and W has their underbed rail kit part # BWGNRK1019 that fits your truck which would allow you to use the Companion slider hitch part # BWRVK3400 which would provide turning clearance since you have a short bed truck.

I attached a link to this page for the instructions for the #DM8552034 which is just the bracket kit of the #DM8552034-71 but will cover the install of both kits.

The one really big downside to gooseneck towing is that there isn't a great solution for short bed truck clearance unlike fifth wheel towing. With fifth wheel hitches you can use a slider hitch and have the clearance issue handled. With gooseneck…

A wedge is needed, yes, and the Lippert Turning Point pin box does come with a universal wedge, but it is not a very good fit with the B&W Companion #BWRVK3710. So I highly recommend instead using the 5th Airborne Custom Wedge for B&W Fifth…

25 inches from the center of the fifth wheel jaws to the cab of a truck is a pretty short distance. When you combine that with a fifth wheel trailer that has a 8 foot wide nose even a Sidewinder can still have a hard time preventing cab/trailer…

Answer 10

If the B and W Companion hitch is the #BWRVK3600 which fits the OEM rail kit of a Ram truck it can be used with a pivoting pin box like the Turning Point but if the hitch attaches to a gooseneck hitch via a center post then it can not be used with it…

The airbags that I recommend for your 2018 Ford F-250 are the Air Lift LoadLifter 5000 Air Helper Springs part #AL57399. These airbags will not interfere with the B&W Turnoverball Underbed Gooseneck Trailer Hitch part #BWGNRK1116 as you can see…
