Can Fixed 5th Wheel Hitch be Used for Short Bed 2022 Chevy Silverado 2500 with Factory Pucks
Question:
I have the pucks from the factory on my 2022 Chevy 2500 with a short bed. I'm seeing that people have been able to use a non-sliding hitch without hitting their cab but you guys only have the sliders listed. Can I use a non-sliding hitch or will I be hitting my new truck when I turn?

Great question!
We have definitely seen people in your situation be able to use a fixed 5th wheel hitch and still have enough cab clearance to safely make their turns. As long as the front of your trailer is angled and not boxed you should have that clearance you asked about.
Since it sounds like you're still needing a 5th wheel hitch for your 2022 Chevy Silverado 2500 short bed with the pucks I'll go ahead and make a recommendation for you as well. The pucks are spaced out the same for both the long and short beds so any of the fixed hitches we have listed for a long bed will also work for your short bed, and out of that selection I recommend using the Curt PowerRide # C36WR because it has an impressive 30K weight capacity and the head is easily removed from the body to make it a little more manageable to move the hitch from storage to your bed or vice versa.
