The Demco Autoslide 5th Wheel Hitch # DM29GV is going to be the best 5th wheel hitch for your 2024 GMC Sierra 2500 short bed with the factory puck system. This receiver automatically slides back up to 14" as you turn to provide you enough clearance to make a full jackknife turn. So you will not have to get out of your cab to reposition the hitch like is needed on manual sliding 5th wheel hitches.
