Is 5th Wheel Slider Needed for 2023 Chevy Silverado 2500 Short Bed With OEM Prep Package
Question:
I have a 2023 Silverado 2500 short bed and I'm looking for a 5th wheel hitch. Would you recommend B&W for my puck system? Do I need a slider? Thank you for your time.

Expert Reply:
Since your 2023 Silverado 2500 has the short bed you will want to use a slider. This gives you the additional clearance you need during slow-speed turns. B&W is a great, high quality choice for a 5th wheel hitch and the brand I recommend. The correct B&W for your Silverado is the B&W Companion OEM 5th Wheel Hitch w/ Slider # BWRVK3775.
The Companion uses 1" thick dual jaws for a sturdy connection that will give you a safe, quiet ride. It also features a non-binding cam-action latch handle for a quick and easy release of the jaws, even on uneven terrain. It has a gray powder coat finish, lifetime warranty, and is made in the USA.
