Best Sliding 5th Wheel Hitch for a 2022 GMC Sierra 2500

Question:

I just got a 2022 GMC Sierra 2500 with a 6-3/4" bed. It has the factory puck system in it. I need a slider hitch to pull my 5th wheel trailer with.

Congrats on the new truck! I have a great slider that will drop right into the puck system on your 2022 GMC Sierra 2500. It is the B&W Companion OEM 5th Wheel Hitch w/ Slider for Chevy/GMC Towing Prep Package item # BWRVK3775. B&W makes the best hitches in the towing business. The Companion has 1" thick dual jaws that provide 360-degree jaw-to-king-pin contact. This results in less rattle and more security than slide-bar jaws. It has a 20,000 lbs towing capacity along with a 5,000 lbs vertical load limit.

The B&W Companion weighs over 250 lbs. If that's not something you're interested in moving by yourself and don't want to have to rely on someone to help you then I recommend purchasing the B&W 5th Wheel Lifting Device for Companion and Patriot Hitches item # BWRVXA3130. This heavy duty steel tool lets you lift your B&W 5th-wheel hitch from your truck bed with a hoist. The 5th-Wheel jaws clamp around the device for a secure grip.

Don't forget your lube plate. The Lube Plate for 5th Wheel Trailer Hitches - 10" Diameter item # RP83002 will prevent scratches on your fifth-wheel's skid plate and ease trailer hookup.
