I think etrailer can't find the correct frame brackets for my 2024 chevy 2500hd. As the most recent order is NOT CORRECT and my c.c. has roughly 3k on it and still no Remco 18k autoslide installed yet!!!??

Sorry to hear that, Robert. Can I ask why your mechanic is saying these frame brackets are incorrect for your 2024 Silverado 2500? I checked with Demco and they are a fit for your truck. If it's because the instructions say 2020 on them, that is just due to them not being updated because the install is the same for newer trucks as well. If this is the reason your mechanic is saying they are wrong, he is costing you money and I would really find a different mechanic to do the install.



by:

I had an old hitch kit in my older truck. The truck company changed the design of my new truck. I called etrailer sales and they gave me the part number for the updated kit. They knew of the change and had the design in stock. They shipped the new one right off. In fact I got it sooner then I needed it as it was in the middle of the winter. All the parts were there and it went in nicely and work great.



by:

Company and all personnel were awesome to work with .. I guess the install kit with bolts and instructions got ripped out of cardboard box.. the hitch came freight with no issues .. I like the hitch and product so far … I did receive the bolts and install kit a week later .. still did not have instructions with it .. but can get those online I think .. overall please so far with the experience thx



by:

Well packed, the delivery was faster than I anticipated. I should have my new truck in a couple of days so I can complete the mounting.

Good product. Easy install. Would give it five stars except you DO HAVE TO DRILL holes in your frame. That was a little disappointing. Other than that great product.

  • Underbed Mounting Kit For Reese Elite 5th Wheel Hitch That Fits My 2022 Chevrolet Silverado 3500
    I spoke with a representative from Resse Products. I was informed that Reese has not had an underbed mounting option for the Chevrolet Silverado 2019. You can use the Reese Quick-Install Custom Outboard Installation Kit w/ Base Rails for 5th Wheel Trailer Hitches, part # RP84FR, but it is an above the rail option. This is a universal mounting kit that will be compatible with your Reese Elite 5th wheel hitch. I have included a product description link below.

  • 2022 GMC Sierra 2500 Recommended Underbed Kit to Tow 5th Wheel Trailer
    The underbed hitch system I recommend for your 2022 GMC Sierra 2500 is the B&W Gooseneck Hitch # BWGNRK1020-5W that can be paired with the Sliding # BWRVK3400-5W or Stationary # BWRVK3500-5W B&W Companion 5th wheel hitch since there isn't a standard aftermarket puck system for your truck. We do have the Demco kit # DR37FR which looks more similar to the OEM puck kit, but Demco designed this to only work with their 5th wheel hitches as a direct connection so you'll get a lot more use out...

  • 2021 GMC Sierra 2500 Puck System Availability
    Hey Mark, thanks for reaching out! For underbed systems we have the Demco Kit # DR37FR and the B&W Gooseneck Hitch # BWGNRK1020 that fit your 2021 GMC Sierra 2500. The Demco kit is pretty specific to Demco brands, while the B&W can be a little more flexible and work for a few different applications depending on the parts, so I recommend the B&W. If you're wanting the OEM puck system, you'll need to reach out to your local GM dealer and see if that's something they can facilitate. What...

  • Does B&W Make An Auto-Sliding Fifth Wheel Hitch
    B&W currently only has an manually activated slider with their Companion # BWRVK3400-5W or Patriot # BWRVK3270. With these being manual you would need to exit the cab of your 2022 Chevy Silverado and pull the lever to activate the slide on you hitch, complete your turn, and then get back out and relock the hitch back in place. To avoid the headache of having to exit the truck repeatedly you can instead use the Demco Hijacker Autoslide 5th Wheel Trailer Hitch w/ Slider # DM8550022 with...

  • Does Demco Underbed Kit Give Full Bed Access for 2021 Chevy Silverado 2500
    The Underbed Rail and Installation Kit # DR37FR is a great way to keep the bed of your 2021 Chevy Silverado 2500 short bed clean when you aren't towing your 5th wheel. It comes with plugs for the 4 attachment points so you don't have to worry about them filling up with debris either. This 4-point mounting system is compatible with the Demco Hijacker Autoslide which is available as an 18K Model # DM8550022 as well as a 21K Model # DM8550037. These are a great option for your short bed pickup...

  • Should I Choose Demco, Reese, or PullRite Underbed Rail System for My 2020 Chevy Silverado 2500
    For your application I recommend installing the Demco UMS Underbed Rail Kit # DR37FR on your 2020 Chevy Silverado 2500 and using the Hijacker Autoslide # DM8550037. The reason behind this is twofold; the Hijacker has more height adjustability and it comes with capture plates (as opposed to sold separately), and then Reese doesn't have an underbed rail system for your truck so you'll have to use the matching underbed rails for the 5th wheel hitch. Since the Demco Hijacker is better than...

  • Is There an Underbed 5th Wheel Hitch Option for a 2020 Chevy Silverado 2500 Without Pucks
    Yes, there are two underbed mounted fifth wheel hitch options for a 2020 Chevrolet Silverado 2500 but each of which are designed to work with their own hitches. These two options are from B&W and Demco. The B&W Companion part # BWRVK3400-5W and part # BWGNRK1020-5W or the Demco Hijacker part # DM8550034 and part # DR37FR. The main difference is the auto sliding feature on the Demco Hijacker so that is my recommendation. Unfortunately, there would be no way to use the B&W Companion OEM...

  • Best Towing Option For A 2022 Keystone Montana 3121RL Pulled With A 2021 GMC Sierra 3500 6-3/4 Bed
    The Reese Goose Box 5th-Wheel-to-Gooseneck Air Ride Coupler Adapter # RP85FR is only going to be roughly 3/4" longer from the 5th wheel pin box that comes standard on your 2022 Keystone Montana 3121RL. For this reason I do not recommend using this when towing with your 2021 GMC Sierra 3500 with the standard length bed. To make it simple the rear axle center line is approximately 42" from the cab of your Sierra. The Montana is 8' wide, at a full jackknife turn 6" of your Sierra is going...

    Yes, you'll just need to order the correct underbed rails and new side mounting plates for the Demco Autoslide 5th Wheel Trailer Hitch # DM8550035. For a 2022 Chevy Silverado 2500 you'd need the Underbed Rail and Installation Kit for Demco UMS 5th Wheel # DR37FR. For the hitch you'd have to unbolt the side plates and swap on the Replacement Side Plates for Demco Autoslide 5th Wheel Trailer Hitches # DM6004. The levers will make connecting to the underbed rails quick and simple. I also...

  • Recommended 5TH Wheel Hitch System For a 2021 GMC Sierra 2500 Short Bed Without Factory Puck/Prep
    I have another recommendation for you as I have heard a lot of complaints about the Curt CrossWing # C32DR and the amount of noise it makes. I also do not feel the offset is going to be enough to prevent damage between your truck and trailer when maneuvering. I recommend going with the Demco Autoslide 5th Wheel Trailer Hitch # DM8550022 on your 2021 GMC Sierra 2500. This uses the Demco UMS System # DR37FR which places the rails under your bed so you can maintain the clean bed when you...

    The Demco Hijacker Autoslide 5th Wheel Trailer Hitch # DM8550037 requires multiple mounting points on the frame of your 2021 Chevrolet Silverado 2500. Therefore you will not be able to use the Curt X5 5th Wheel Base Rails Adapter # 16310. No autoslide 5th wheel hitches can be used with a single point mount such as a B&W turnover ball or Curt double lock gooseneck.

  • Recommended Fixed 5th Wheel Hitch For A 2022 GMC Sierra 2500 With A Short Bed
    The best 5th wheel hitch for your 2022 GMC Sierra 2500 with the short/standard bed will depend on if you have the factory pucks in the bed or not. If you don't, the Reese M5 5th Wheel Trailer Hitch - Single Jaw - 20,000 lbs # RP30928 and Rail Kit # RP30035-522 would be a great option. Now if you do have the factory pucks in your bed, I highly recommend the B&W Companion OEM 5th Wheel Hitch # BWRVK3715. This is American made and also rated up to 25,000 pounds.

    The Demco Hijacker Auto Slide 5th wheel hitch is a great choice for short bed trucks. For the 2021 GMC Sierra 2500, you'll want to use the # DM8550035 which is compatible with the # DM6333 adapter that fits into the GM puck system (assuming your truck is equipped with the puck system). If your truck doesn't have the GM puck system, and you want an under-bed mount you'd use the # DM8550037 along with the Demco # DR37FR under-bed rails.

For below bed rails you'll want the Demco Autoslide 5th Wheel Trailer Hitch w/ Slider # DM8550022 and Underbed Rail and Installation Kit # DR37FR.

  • What Sliding 5th-Wheel Hitch do You Recommend for My 2022 Chevy SIlverado 2500 without OEM Prep?
    On your 2022 Chevy Silverado 2500 with a 6-3/4 ft. bed without OEM prep, I recommend the Demco Hijacker # DM8550022 (18k) or # DM8550037 (21k). The great thing about the Hijacker is its autoslide function that takes away the pain and inconvenience that comes with having to manually adjust the slider on other 5th-wheel hitches. Another feature of the Hijacker is the 360 degree wrap-around jaw. This style jaw provides you with a super secure contact point for your kingpin connection. As...
