Features to know about

Built for Confident Heavy-Duty Towing: 21,000 lbs GTW and 5,250 lbs Vertical Load Limit

This hitch is rated at 21,000 lbs gross towing weight and 5,250 lbs vertical load, giving it the strength to handle large fifth-wheel trailers on long hauls. The solid steel construction and rust-resistant black powder coat create a rigid, stable platform that feels secure mile after mile. It’s the kind of heavy-duty build you want when pulling serious weight through varied terrain.

Tight Turns Without Getting Out of the Cab: Automatic 14" Sliding Action

The automatic slider gives you up to 14" of extra clearance when making slow-speed turns, so those tight campsite maneuvers don’t turn into cab-to-trailer contact. The rack-and-pinion gear system moves smoothly and automatically—no levers or manual release needed. As your trailer rotates up to 90 degrees, the hitch glides back toward the tailgate and then returns forward when you straighten out, all without jerking or binding.

Quiet, Secure Connection: Wraparound Jaw and Locking Bar

The single-piece wraparound jaw fully surrounds the king pin for 360-degree contact, giving you a tight hold that reduces rattle and chucking on rough roads. A 3/4" thick solid steel locking bar reinforces that connection so the trailer stays securely coupled. With this setup, you get a smoother ride and extra confidence every time you pull away.

Smoother Hookups and a More Comfortable Ride: Double-Pivot, Cushioned Head

The double-pivot hitch head moves both front to back and side to side, automatically pivoting into position when coupling. Three polyurethane dampeners absorb road shock and cut down on noise from the hitch head movement. The result is an easier hookup process and a quiet, cushioned towing experience that feels steady over uneven pavement or long distances.

Quick Drop-In Setup with OEM Prep Package Rails

Installation is straightforward with the included rail adapter designed for factory prep packages. Just drop the adapter into the puck receivers, pin it in place, bolt on the side plates, and set your hitch height—15-1/4", 16-1/2", or 18". The diamond-plate tread base adds traction and style while the spring-loaded handle with tethered safety pin keeps coupling simple and secure.

Video Transcript for Demco 5th Wheel Rail Adapter for Chevy/GMC OEM 5th Wheel Towing Prep Package Review

Hey, guys. This is Jake here with etrailer. Today we're gonna be taking a look at the Demco OEM GM Puck System Rails. These are gonna drop directly into the factory puck system on your GM truck. So, that's Chevy or GMC. And it's going to have two different rail options.

The only one that you're missing is the widest rail option. So, most of them are going to fit in the two center ones. There are some wider kits that have higher capacities that'll fit in these outer ones. This rail kit is gonna have a capacity of 25,000 pounds. Has a nice, thick black powder coat finish, that's gonna help resist rust and corrosion.

Demco does a really good job with their paint jobs. It's textured, so things are gonna be more likely to slide off of it, than to grab onto that paint and cause any scratches or chipping. One of the nicest thing about this kit is that it's gonna drop directly into your puck system. You can lock it in by pulling these levers. Something I like about these is that the levers actually have a direction that they're supposed to go in, and then you can put the pin in to lock them in place.

I will say, if you have trouble getting these latches to match up to the pucks in the floor of your the bed of your truck, what we did was we just loosened these four bolts on each of these brackets, and then it was able to move just the slightest bit to get them dropped down in place, and then we torque them down again. So, once you get it set, it's great. I like it because you don't have to make the initial investment of getting a new fifth wheel hitch just to match it to your truck bed. If you like to get trucks every couple of years, a lot of people don't like to put a lot of miles on their truck. They'll get a new one.

If you get the same truck, you can take this set of rails, put it in the new truck bed, and it match up great. If you decide to go with a different brand, you just have to get a new rail kit. You don't have to get a whole new fifth wheel hitch. Well, guys, hopefully this video helped you decide whether or not the Demco OEM Puck System Rails is gonna be right for you and your vehicle.

Easy installation.



by: Mike11/25/2020

I have had Reese adapters for Ford and Ram and the Demco is by far the best built for ease of engagement and adjustment there is. Great job DEMCO!!



by: Jacob04/02/2025

Great customer service! Called to verify if this would work in my new GMC 2500, along with my previous demco hitch. Fit like a glove! Fast shipping. Always happy with E-Trailer! Thanks guys!



by: Troy Bellanger09/05/2025

Outstanding product, fast shipping and excellent customer service by Amy!!!!



by: Patrick A06/26/2024

Does NOT fit my Hijacker "Ultra Slide" as recommended by the professional chat [at] etrailer.com. The slots and holes do not line up and are to narrow. Will be returning.



by: Wayne09/24/2020

The adapter fit my 2020 GMC 3500 like a glove just like Korren said it would.I ordered it on a Thursday and got it the following Tuesday.



by: Keith10/31/2019

Just received the adapter and 15 minutes to install. However, you likely will have to loosen the 9/16 bolts on one side to get it to drop into the puck holes then torque back down. Mine was just a 1/32 off and would not drop until I loosened the bolts which allowed the locking tabs to drop into the puck.



by: Scott11/28/2018

This is a quality piece of equipment. I can't wait to use it. The installation directions were complete and easy to follow. Looks fantastic.



by: Mary10/30/2019

It fits the new 2020 Gmc / Chevrolet
And
has two different sized hitch connections for US standard hitches you got to loosen up where the handles are with a wrench set it down make sure they lineup and then tighten it down and snap it in



by: Tammy01/09/2020

Product is very well built. Installation would have went much quicker had there been directions explaining to loosen the 4 9/16 bolts at each handle to allow play for the adapter to fall into pick system. Then retighten bolts. What should have taken 10 minutes took over an hour and reading others reveiws.



by: Kevin02/12/2024

To be honest, I wish I had gotten an 8' bed on my new truck so I wouldn't need to get a sliding hitch. It's very heavy! You have to have an engine lift to put it in and that's not very easy to do either. The arm isn't long enough so you will have to move the hitch around by hand after you hoist it up into the bed. Very heavy! But, if you have a short bed truck it's the only hitch to get to protect your cab.



by: Keith04/01/2020

I love the adapter. Received it really fast, and it dropped in and fit really well. I have a 2020 Chevrolet Silverado 3500hd, with fifth wheel prep package. I also have a Curt E16, with A16 slider to use on it.



by: Toriann07/30/2020

Excellent service, was able to ship my item to me in 3 days!!! Will always refer friends and family to etrailer! The Demco 6333 fit my 2020 Denali dually perfect so I could keep my 5th wheel hitch...



by: Jorge03/03/2020

Excellent product, I bought a 2020 GMC diesel the rail adapter fit perfect. As you can see in the picture, a husky fifth wheel hitch fit this adapter. The instructions that come with the adapter made it easy to install.



by: David10/08/2019

Just had to make a small adjustment to fit the puck system but in the end, fit perfectly and seems fairly tight. My Reese slider hitch fit perfectly.



by: JT02/20/2021

I got a new 2021 GMC with the puck system and I wanted to be able to use my existing Pullrite Superglide 2700 hitch. I looked at the Pullrite adapter...that's a multi-piece rail system and was thinking more likely to rattle. Found this Demco adapter which is one piece and a better price.

Just put the adapter (and the hitch) in the truck this morning. Following the instructions, loosened the bolts and it dropped right in. The only thing that would've made this better is if the temp was above freezing.



by: Arthur04/19/2020

Outstanding product. But even more outstanding was Customer Service and expert technical advice. All questions to the technical experts were processed fast and right on with correct answers. Customer service was unbelievable. I called them with a concern on shipment that was being held up. They got right in it and before the evening was gone my shipment was. Processed and at my house in three days. I was in a bind to move my fifth wheel and without a working hitch in my new truck. They came through with the product and shipment so I could move my camper and not have any issues.
As others have said, etrailer is above others on customer service and reliability of product and great technical help. My choice of business when I need something or have to have the correct technical data.
Thanks for the extra effort.



by: Myron11/18/2019

This is an excellent product to use for the Demco auto slider 5th wheel. Follow the directions and it will drop right into the pucks. It's heavy so it will take another pair of hands unless you're Arnold. I'm alone, so I have a 2 ton engine hoist that works real well. My auto slider drops right into adapter rails. An excellent piece of equipment from etrailer. Best place to buy rv equipment. When needed, they're an excellent choice for advice. I might add that this adapter is only for the 2020 Silverado and GMC Sierra. They have different ones for Ford and Ram. I would definitely buy from etrailer again.



by: Bob T12/16/2020

This review is for the Demco Autoslide 21k and accompanying OEM rail adaptor I purchased for a 2020 Ram 3500 Megacab DRW. I've owned it one year. Overall, the hitch performs as I expected. It is high quality, very sturdy and seems like it will last for a long time. I had it installed at the dealer when I purchased the truck. It automatically slides to protect the cab in my 6'4" bed without any incidents. I tow a standard fifth wheel RV. There are a few negatives, which are not necessarily shortcoming of the product but, instead, necessary evils to allow me to have a short bed. First, it is BIG and BULKY. I believe this is just a function of the mechanism required to allow the autosliding feature and I am not really sure there are any other lighter alternatives with this feature. The fact it requires two parts (OEM Puck Rail and hitch), make it even more bulky. It takes up almost the entire bed and prevents most auxillary tank / tool box combos from fitting. Even standard size storage bins will not fit in my bed. I would prefer if they had a custom OEM all-in-one hitch for my truck like they do for the Ford. It adds significant weight, which decreases carrying capacity, which can be at a premium in hauling a heavy fifth wheel. I've never even tried to take it out of the bed due to the weight and difficulty. I also am not very happy with the adjustable catch plate design. It requires significant manipulation loosening and tightening 8 nuts when hitching and unhitching. This requires a step ladder to reach the nuts. I also found out after the fact that it does not come with the right size catch plate attachments for my hitch and I had to purchase a separate part, which added unexpected expense and delayed my taking the RV on its first trip. Overall, I am satisfied with the hitch.



by: James 12/06/2024

Very easy install and super fast delivery. Unit is heavy duty without being too unmanageable to handle. Very well made. Going to feel very secure going down the road.



by: John04/22/2021



This adapter allowed me to use the
Curt A16 hitch I already owned. This DEMCO 6333 adapter is an absolute monster. Incredibly well built with precise machining. The hitch fits very well.
Since each truck is built within a certain tolerance and slightly different I had to make a minor adjustment to the lock down positions to get the perfect fit. By loosening all 4 bolts on each of the lock down handles I was able to get the adapter to drop right in place.
Comparing this adapter to others is no comparison.
This DEMCO 6333 is much sturdier.
I added a picture of the Curt A16 mounted on the DEMCO 6333 under the LUND Tri-fold cover. Overall, this is a great combination.
I wanted to be sure to say "THANKS" to Montrell (etrailer Rep) who ensured the DEMCO was a proper fir for my truck as well as processing the order quickly. Job Well Done!!

I like to hitch but unfortunately doesn’t work for my trailer as it won’t travel level meaning it was to high in the bed of the truck causing to much weight to be on the rear axle of the trailer which will cause other issues like wearing tires, wheel bearings, axles and could cause rear tires to blow out while traveling. With discussion with Will at ETrailer we worked out to use a stationary hitch until one can be available for our situation. Will was excellent to work out our options.



by: Matthew04/21/2024

Built just like the rails I had in my old truck. I actually had the Curt adapter plate before this one and had to return it because it added too much height to my hitch. This one saved me a half inch and hopefully the $[XX] bed cover I purchased will work now.



by: Guzziguy03/05/2026

Took me less than two hours to install by myself (heavy)....and it dawned on me which sets of bolts needed to be loosened up to allow the device to seat EASILY into the pucs. Fits my 5th wheel setup perfectly!



by: Vince07/03/2024

Package arrived mangled, barely able to get it out of the delivery truck without it falling out of the packaging. In the end, no harm done, contents were not damaged.

Bought for use on a 2024 Chevy 2500 HD with factory installed pucks. Mounted a PullRite model #2700 slider fifth wheel hitch on top of the adapter. Adapter is very heavy duty and well designed. Per the instructions I loosened all of the latch bolts prior to installation into the truck. Retorqed once everything was in place. Simple, took less than 30 minutes. Then reinstalled my PullRite hitch without any issues.

Adapter seems well made and rock solid. Will have to wait until I tow again to see how everything rides. The height of the installment measures roughly 1.5-2 inches higher than before.

Ordering was a breeze, arrived in less than 3 days. Mike was very helpful throughout the process.

  • Correcting A Demco Adapter 6333 Loose Fit
    If you have some slop after installing the Demco 5th Wheel Rail Adapter for Chevy/GMC OEM 5th Wheel Towing Prep Package # DM6333, you can try to adjust the washers by adding more to one side and/or taking them away from another. If one handle feels tighter than another, that is a good sign that you just need to adjust the washers but the pucks are also not always level from the factory. Included is page 2 of the instructions providing more detail about the washer adjustments.

  • What is Overall Height of Demco Rail Kit Adapter 6333 in Bed of 2026 GMC Sierra 2500
    Hey Michael, the overall height of the Demco Rail Kit Adapter part # DM6333 from the top of your 2026 GMC Sierra 2500 bed is 2 inches. Once installed the bottom of the rails this kit provides will sit a little higher than flush with the corrugation in your truck bed as the bed does not support this rail kit. The small gap would allow for a bed liner if that's what you're asking about. See attached photo.

    You have a couple options for moving your Demco Autoslide 5th Wheel Trailer Hitch # DM8550035 to your 2023 GMC Sierra 2500 with the factory in bed prep/puck system. First the best way in my opinion is to remove the mounting brackets on the side of your hitch and add the Side Plates # DM49GV. These will allow you to set the hitch into the factory mounts on your Sierra. The other option is using a Demco 5th Wheel Rail Adapter # DM6333 to act as an adapter between your bed mounts and your...

  • Will the Demco 5th Wheel Rail Adapter for Chevy/GMC Work w/ a Curt A20 Slider?
    Hey Darren, that's quite the gift. The Demco 5th Wheel Rail Adapter for Chevy/GMC OEM 5th Wheel Towing Prep Package item # DM6333 will fit any 5th wheel hitch that attaches to industry standard rails, including the Curt A20 5th Wheel Trailer Hitch w/ S20 Slider item # C55DR. The only exception to this is the B&W Patriot Slider item # BWRVK3270 because it sits too low and hits the adapter when sliding. Please note that the Demco 5th Wheel Rail Adapter item # DM6333 only fits the GMC puck...

  • Converting Old B&W Companion 5th Wheel Hitch To Work With OEM Puck Prep Package On 2021 GMC Sierra
    A solution for you is to get the Replacement Base For B&W Companion 5th Wheel Hitches # BWRVB3715. This will work with your factory puck system and will leave your bed rail-less whenever you don't have your hitch in the bed. Another solution is to get an adapter rail for your new 2021 GMC Sierra 3500. Use the Demco 5th Wheel Rail Adapter for Chevy/GMC OEM 5th Wheel Towing Prep Package # DM6333.

  • Can B&W Patriot 18K 5thWheel Hitch Be Made Compatible with Puck System on 2021 Chevy Silverado 3500
    B&W offers a replacement slider unit for the Patriot 5th wheel hitch, part # BWRVB3270. You'd simply remove the hitch head from the current stationary model and install it on the slider. This being said, the problem comes in when you try to find something to adapt the slider to the GM puck system. Demco states that their # DM6333 adapter isn't compatible with the B&W Patriot Slider. Curt offers a puck adapter, part # C88KR but neither Curt nor B&W will confirm fit, because the haven't...

  • Which is Better Auto Sliding Fifth Wheel Hitch for 2019 Ram 2500: Pullrite or Demco
    For your 2019 Ram 2500 short bed with the factory fifth wheel rail kit I recommend the Demco Hijacker autoslide part # DM8550034 for an 18k hitch or part # DM8550035 for a 21k hitch with the adapter plate part # DM6099 over the Pullrite hitches for a few reasons. The hitch head on the Hijacker has built-in brackets that hold it to your pin box since it needs to lock to the pin box as you make turns to allow the slider mechanism to automatically operate. The Pullrite option requires purchasing...

  • 5th Wheel Hitch Options For A 2017 Ram 3500 With A Bradford Flatbed
    Hey Joe, Does your Bradford flatbed have a recessed gooseneck hitch already installed or is it just the flat bed right now? If not, you're going to need to cut out space for a gooseneck hitch like the B&W # BWGNRK1500 to be installed. From there you would need a 5th wheel hitch that mounts to a gooseneck ball like B&W's flat bed hitch # BWRVK3050. The bed height for a flatbed is typically a lot higher than a standard bed so a shorter hitch is typically going to be required so that the...

  • 2500 or 3500 Series Truck Recommendation for Towing Trailer 14,500 lb
    For a trailer that weighs, 14,500 lbs I would strongly recommend a 3500 series truck. Even if the 2500 could technically tow it the 3500's higher rated suspension will make for a much better towing experience. Less sag and a smoother ride when towing. The ride quality will be a bit stiffer unloaded but that's not why you need the truck. I'd also recommend a long bed truck so that you have turning clearance without needing a slider hitch. I'd also recommend a dually rear axle as that adds...

  • Best Sliding 5th Wheel Hitch For Clean Bed on 2020 Chevy Silverado 2500 With or Without Puck System
    These are really good questions and we can definitely set you up with the right 5th wheel hitch for your 2020 Chevy Silverado 2500 short (also called standard) bed, but to quickly answer your question about underbed brackets, there aren't any that are universal (as nice as that would be), they are only designed to be used with specific 5th wheel hitches. That said, you do have a number of different options, which I'll list for you and then make my recommendation. 5th Wheel Hitch for 2020...

  • Troubleshooting Demco Hijacker Autoslide Making Noise
    How old is the hitch? Does your fifth wheel have a standard pin box or a cushioned pin box? Has it been lubricated? Does the locking bar automatically lock when the jaw closes? The thing that comes to mind immediately is the capture plates may not be adjusted properly. They MUST be evenly on both sides to 1/8" more than the width of the pin box.

  • Will Andersen Ultimate Allow a 90 Degree Turn When Towing with a 2017 Ram 2500 6-1/2 Bed
    The Andersen Ultimate Connection # AM3200 has a 9" offset. I am not sure if it will allow you to make 90 degree turns with your 2017 Ram 2500 6-1/2' bed but this can simply be determined by measuring from the back of your cab to the middle of the space in-between your base rails (or the pucks). Once you know that simply add 9" for the offset and the subtract half of the width of your trailer. The formula looks likes this: (A + B) - C = Clearance A = Distance from center of fifth wheel...

The only real difference between the two models is their towing capacity. The Hijacker features an automatic slider to provide cab clearance with your short bed Sierra without having to get out of the truck.

    Although there are some wedges that Demco offers to use in conjunction with the Demco Hijacker Autoslide, like part # DM8550035, the wedges are made for specific specialty pin boxes and won't work with a standard pin box. For a standard pin box you need to use the capture brackets that already come with your 5th wheel hitch. If you want to upgrade your pin box to one that uses an air bag or shock to help enhance your towing experience just let me know what your pin box number is (like...

  • More Clearance for Short Bed With Atwood AB72 Pin Box
    I can help you figure out how to get more turning clearance with your short bed truck. Due to the style of the Atwood pin box you have on your trailer the Sidewinder is not recommended to be used. An alternative to this would be a sliding hitch. A sliding hitch will give you turning clearance for your trailer just not the 90 degrees that the Sidewinder provides.

  • Fifth Wheel Hitch Recommendation for 2016 RAM 3500 Short Bed w/ Puck System Towing 2015 Cedar Creek
    Although many trailer manufacturers are now designing their trailers with the tapered fronts to be more aerodynamic and also to help increase turning clearance, our hitch manufacturers are still going to recommend using a hitch with a slider opposed to a stationary hitch.
