You'll need a heavy degreaser to clean off the pin box before installing a lube plate like the Reese part # RP83001 that you referenced. Simple Green works really well, and if you had a power washer I would use that too.

We still recommend the use of a slider in all standard/short bed trucks. That being said, the new GM trucks like your 2022 GMC Sierra 2500 do have a slightly longer bed than the typical standard bed. The best thing you can do is to measure to see if…

The shipping weight of the B&W Companion OEM 5th Wheel Hitch #BWRVK3305 is 152 lbs so it will be just under that after you remove the packaging. Although it is still pretty hefty, the head unit part #BWRVC3006 can easily be removed off of the…
