Fifth Wheel Hitch for a 2008 Chevy Silverado

Expert Reply:

We offer fifth wheel hitches for a 2008 Chevrolet Silverado 2500 with either a 6ft or 8ft bed.
If you chose a 6ft truck bed, you would require a fifth wheel with a slider so that you would not encounter clearance issues while towing. I recommend part 30083. It has an 18,000lb capacity that would work for your 25-31ft fifth wheel trailer, and 4-way pivot to make hooking up your trailer easier. To install this hitch to your truck, you will need part 50041-6008.
If you chose an 8ft truck bed, a slider would not be required. I recommend part 40847. This hitch installs with a puck system instead of in-bed rails, so you have more use of your truck bed when not using the hitch. It also has a 4-way pivot to make hooking up a trailer easier. To install this hitch to your truck, you will need part 30082. I recommend choosing the 8ft bed if you plan on doing a lot of fifth wheel towing, because it will ensure that you will never have clearance issues.
