Can 2024 Chevy Silverado 3500HD Short Bed Tow Fifth Wheel Trailer with Tapered Nose
Updated 12/30/2024 | Published 12/27/2024 >
Question:
Looking to get a 5th wheel. My tow vehicle is a 2024 Chevy Silverado 2500 hd. I have the standard bed. Its length is 6’10”. The fifth wheel we’re looking at is pretty tapered. Would I need a slider hitch? I’m thinking not. This is not a short bed. Your opinion or advice would greatly be appreciated. I would like to get the B and W companion. Thank you! Doug!

Hey Doug, you did you homework and I have good news! Yes you can use the fixed hitch version of the B and W Companion part # BWRVK3710 with your 2024 Chevy Silverado 2500HD because your trailer has a tapered nose which was designed basically for short bed turning clearance.
