Recommended 5th Wheel Hitch for a 2023 GMC Sierra 2500 or 3500 8 Ft Bed w/ the Factory Puck System
Question:
I would like to add a 5th wheel hitch to my 2023 GMC Sierra 2500 truck. It has an 8 foot bed and the puck system installed from the factory. Which 5th wheel hitch would you recommend?

Expert Reply:
For your 2023 GMC Sierra 2500 with an 8 foot bed, I recommend the B&W Companion OEM item # BWRVK3710. This hitch installs inside your factory puck system and allows you to have full access to your bed when you are not towing.
The B&W Companion has a 20,000 lbs capacity. It's dual jaw system provides 360-degree jaw to kingpin contact. This not only assures a secure connection but a more comfortable and quieter towing experience.
I have linked an installation video along with a picture of the Companion installed below.
B&W also offers a 25,000 lbs capacity Companion 5th Wheel Hitch item # BWRVK3715.
