I have the perfect 5th Wheel Hitch for your 2023 GMC Sierra 2500 with short bed!

The B&W Companion OEM 5th Wheel Hitch w/ Slider for Chevy/GMC Towing Prep Package # BWRVK3775 has a built-in slider that provides clearance required for your short-bed pickup to turn safely at slow speeds. The hitch has 3 height settings, and has a quick and simple installation. The hitch has a gray powder coated steel that is corrosion resistant.

The 5th wheel hitch has a gross towing weight up to 20,000 pounds and has a vertical load limit up to 5,000 pounds. I would check your vehicle's manual to double check the proper towing capacity for your 2023 GMC Sierra 2500.
