5th Wheel Rail Kit And Auto-Slide Hitch That Fits A 2021 GMC Sierra 1500 Short Bed

Expert Reply:
For your 2021 GMC Sierra 1500 short bed, I recommend the Demco Hijacker Premier Series Above-Bed Base Rails and Custom Installation Kit for 5th Wheel Hitches # DM8552034-71.
These are above bed rails, and is compatible with B&W, Curt, Draw-Tite, Hidden Hitch, Husky, Reese, and Valley above-bed 5th-wheel trailer hitches.
Since you mentioned you're looking for an auto-slide 5th wheel hitch, I recommend the Demco Hijacker # DM8550034. This hitch features 14" of travel, and has a maximum towing capacity of 18,000-lbs.
Additionally, this hitch is not intended to be used on rotating pin boxes, like the Reese Sidewinder 5th Wheel King Pin with Rotating Turret # RP34FR.
