Is There Way to Use Demco Hijacker SL in Bed of 2021 Chevy Silverado 3500 with OEM Pucks
Question:
Have an older Hijacker SL series 5th wheel hitch, 21K. Do you have side plate replacements to use the new GM puck system? Really dont want to have to buy a brand new 5th wheel setup. Similar to Fords? Demco RV Replacement Fifth Wheel Hitch Side Plates - DM34GV Thank you.

Expert Reply:
Since the SL series Demco fifth wheel hitches aren't still made there isn't a base rail adapter that would allow it to fit the OEM rail kit of your 2021 Chevy Silverado 3500. Best solution would be to go with a new hitch like the Demco part # DM37VR.
