Yes, it is possible to use a fixed fifth wheel hitch on a 2022 GMC Sierra 2500 with 6-3/4' Bed and OEM Prep Package. That said, your turning clearance could be reduced depending on the trailer being used. It won't be an issue for most of your driving but can cause trouble in certain instances such as maneuvering in a tight parking lot or campground. If you don't want to have to worry about turning clearance then a sliding fifth wheel hitch would be advised. I recommend the B&W Companion OEM 5th Wheel Hitch part # BWRVK3715 for fixed or part # BWRVK3775 for sliding which is largely considered to be the best option on the market.

If you want to find your exact turning clearance you can use the formula below.

(A + B) - C = Clearance

A = Distance from center of fifth wheel hitch jaw to truck cab
B = Length of trailer nose from king pin
C = Width of trailer divided by 2 (to get half)
