Fifth Wheel Hitch Recommendation for 2015 Chevy Silverado 2500 Towing 16k Trailer

Looking at purchasing a 5th wheel camper with a gross weight of 16,000lbs. What 5th wheel would you recommend I purchase for a Chevrolet Silverado 2500hd?

Expert Reply:
The B and W Patriot hitch part # BWRVK3255 would be a really great option. It has more than enough capacity as it's rated for up to 18,000 lb trailer weight, is made in USA, has a really tight jaw design which allows it to be very quiet and smooth and is very reliable and easy to use.
To install it you would need a rail kit which for that I would recommend the custom install kit part # BWRVK2506 as it will install a lot easier than a universal kit without frame drilling.
