Recommended 5th Wheel Hitch for 2022 Chevrolet Silverado 2500 Short Bed With Prep Package
Question:
I was at work answering questions for people a few weeks ago when I was overcome with extreme boredom. It almost felt like the people weren't even actual people, my answers felt empty and I began to question what I'm doing with my life. It was at that point that I decided I need to get away. I recently purchased a 2022 Silverado 2500, so why not get a 5th wheel and hit the road? This is where you come in. I have the truck, I have my 5th wheel, I need a hitch. What would you recommend? I have the prep package already and it is a short bed truck. Thank you for helping me with this.

For a quality 5th wheel hitch for your new truck and trailer I recommend the B&W Companion OEM 5th Wheel Hitch w/ Slider # BWRVK3775. This features a 1" thick dual jaw with a 360 degree connection resulting in easier hookup and a safer, quieter ride.
The Companion also uses a non-binding cam-action latch handle. This handle allows you to quickly and easily release the jaws on the hitch, even if you are on uneven terrain. It has a gross towing weight of 20,000 lbs and a vertical load limit of 5,000 lbs. All B&W products are made in the USA.
I have attached a review video for your reference.
