The best 5th wheel hitch for a 2024 GMC Sierra 2500 with the factory puck system is going to be either the standard B&W Companion item # BWRVK3710 or the B&W Companion Slider item # BWRVK3775. Which one you need will be determined by your bed length or type of pin box.

If you have an 8 foot bed or a rotating pin box you will want to go with the B&W Companion item # BWRVK3710. This hitch has a 20,000 lbs capacity. The base of this hitch will attach directly to your factory puck system without the need for an adapter.

If your Sierra has the shorter 6-3/4 foot bed you will want the B&W Companion Slider item # BWRVK3775. The Companion slider has a 20,000 lbs capacity and will give you 12" of travel for making tight turns. The slider base will also attached directly to your factory puck system.

I really like the Companion's 1" thick dual jaws because they will give you a 360-degree jaw to kingpin contact. This system minimizes the chucking, jarring and noise that can occur when towing a 5th wheel trailer. This not only provides a more secure connection but also a quieter more comfortable towing experience.
