Will The B&W Companion Slider For A 2023 Chevy 2500 Shortbed With OEM Prep Fit Under A Tonneau Cover
Question:
I just purchased a new 2023 Chevrolet Silverado 2500 Short Bed and it has the OEM prep package. I have a tonneau cover already installed onto the vehicle. Will The B&W Companion Slider fit under the tonneau cover?

After doing research I found out that The B&W Companion OEM 5th Wheel Hitch w/ Slider # BWRVK3775 should have no problems being installed and fitting under your tonneau cover on your 2023 Chevy Silverado.
Personally I have seen a lot of sliders that have been installed underneath tonneau covers so this should not cause many issues for you when installing the hitch. I like this hitch over the other hitches because it has 3 height settings between 17 inches to 19 inches and will give you more play room underneath the tonneau cover when not in use. The B&W hitch is very heavy so I would recommend that you have two people to install it while placing it into the 4 puck holes.
I attached a review video link below of some more details on The B&W Companion hitch. If you have any further questions please feel free to reach out to me anytime and I will be more than happy to further assist you in your towing endeavors.
