• Can I Use An Auto-Slide Hitch If I Have a B&W Turnoverball Gooseneck Trailer Hitch Installed
  I have two options for you but there is no way to use an auto-sliding 5th wheel hitch with the B&W Turnoverball Underbed Gooseneck Trailer Hitch installed because there is no room for anything else to mount and you can't use an adapter because of the singular connection point and its inability to withstand the added torque for the auto-sliding 5th wheel hitch. Therefore, you can either use the B&W Companion Slider Gooseneck-to-5th-Wheel Trailer Hitch Adapter part # BWRVK3400 or you will...

• Is Demco Auto-Slide 5th Wheel Hitch Compatible with B&W Installation Kit
  The design of the B&W under-bed gooseneck install kit # BWGNRK1067-5W that accepts their Companion hitch # BWRVK3400-5W in your 2008 Chevy 2500HD short-bed does not allow use of another slider hitch, nor use of any type of adapter to allow an industry-standard type hitch to mount.

• Best 5th Wheel Towing Setup for a 2007 GMC Sierra 2500HD
  Since you have a short bed (6-1/2') on your 2007 GMC Sierra 2500HD, you will need a rolling hitch or more commonly referred to as a sliding 5th wheel hitch for your 397 Heartland Edge Toy Hauler to make tight turns. The general rule of thumb is that if you're towing a 5th wheel trailer with a truck that has a bed shorter than 8' then you will need a sliding hitch to gain clearance between the trailer and the cab of your vehicle while turning to prevent them from contacting one another,...

• Compatibility of the Demco Auto Slide Hitch and a Rail Adapter Kit to Fit the B&W Underbed Hitch
  I have a solution for you, but the Demco Hijacker Auto Slide 5th Wheel Hitch for Above Bed Rails, # DM8552009-71, is not compatible with using a rail adapter with the B&W Turnoverball Underbed Gooseneck Hitch.

• Recommended 5th Wheel Hitch for 2004 Chevy Silverado 3500
  When choosing a fifth wheel hitch for your 2004 Chevrolet Silverado 3500, you will first want to consider the weight of the trailer that you will be pulling. You will need to make sure you choose a hitch with the required weight capacity. Since your Silverado has an 8 foot bed, you will not need a sliding hitch. Sliding fifth wheel hitches are needed on shorter beds in order to provide more cab clearance when making sharp turns. I recommend looking at the Curt Q20 5th Wheel Trailer Hitch...

• Slider Hitch Recommendation for 2005 Chevy Silverado 2500HD with 6-1/2 foot bed
  First thing you should note is that it can be pretty difficult to tow a fifth wheel trailer with a truck that has been lifted, especially one that has as big of tires and lift as yours. The reason is that you have to tow the trailer level and you also have to have 4-6 inches of clearance between the bed rails of the truck and the over hang of the trailer. Basically you would have to have a very tall sitting fifth wheel trailer to be able to accomplish both of those things I mentioned and...

• Recommended Fifth Wheel Trailer Hitch For 2005 Chevrolet Silverado 1500 With 5-1/2 Ft Bed
  There are two ways you can get a fifth wheel hitch on your 2005 Silverado with the 5-1/2 ft bed. You can go with a fixed fifth wheel hitch like the M5 Series, part # RP30928. You will then need to change out the pin box on your trailer and replace it with a Sidewinder that will give you the ability to execute corners. The fifth wheel installation kit I recommend is part # RP50064-58. This is a custom kit and it cuts the installation time in half when compared to using the standard kit...

• Recommendation for a 5th Wheel Hitch on a 2008 Chevrolet Silverado 2500
  We highly recommend using a sliding hitch for the short bed trucks so that your trailer will not make contact with the back of your truck while towing. These hitches allow you to make tight turns on campgrounds or parking lots without damaging your vehicle. It's important to note that it is not recommended to tow with it in the extended/turning position but only in the towing position. For your 2008 Chevrolet Silverado 2500, we offer custom fit brackets for your specific truck that I...

• Demco Hijacker Fifth Wheel Hitch or Reese Elite Slider Recommendation for 2010 GMC Sierra Short Bed
  I have a great solution for you. Since you are looking for an under-bed rail system that will leave your truck bed empty when the hitch is removed I would recommend you go with the Demco Hijacker hitch part # DM8550022 and underbed rail kit part # DM8551004. Since you have a short bed you will need a hitch that has a slider so that you can have enough clearance to make tight turns. The Reese Elite Slider hitch part # RP30144 and Rail Kit part # RP30061 is a GREAT option, but this setup...

• Brake Controller Relocation Kit Needed for 2008 Chevrolet Silverado Installing Demco Underbed Rail
  I spoke with Demco and they do not currently have a solution for this issue. The only relocation kit we offer for your 2008 Chevrolet Silverado's factory trailer brake controller is the Factory Brake Controller Relocation Kit for Fifth Wheel and Gooseneck Rails # 58318. This kit works as a spacer to move the factory brake controller away from the frame in order to install the 5th wheel brackets. My contact at Draw-Tite confirmed that it will move the brake controller approximately 3/8 of...

• Will a Reese Signature Series Hitch Fit a 2009 GMC Sierra 3500 Long Bed
  There isn't an under bed installation kit that will fit the Signature Series hitch and your 2009 GMC Sierra. If you want an under bed set up you would have to replace the hitch as well. I know that isn't the best news. Your options are: B&W Companion # BWRVK3500-5W with install kit # BWGNRK1067-5W (doubles as gooseneck hitch) Demco hitch # DM8550032 with installation kit # DM8551004 Draw-Tite hitch # 9480-5W with install kit # 9465-34-5W (doubles as gooseneck hitch)

• 5th Wheel Trailer Hitch and Installation Kit Recommendation for 2006 Chevy Silverado 1500 Short Bed
  There are 2 short beds for the 2006 Chevy Silverado 1500; a 5-1/2 foot bed and a 6-1/2 foot bed. If your truck has the 6-1/2 foot bed than the regular slider hitch can work. But if you have a 5-1/2 foot bed the regular slider hitch will not offer enough travel to safely make 90 degree turns. For the 5-1/2 foot bed I have an excellent solution if the gross trailer weight is less than 13,000 pounds. You can use the Demco HiJacker, # DM8550040, with installation kit # DM8552009-71, for a...
