I needed a little help moving the item. It weighs about 200lbs. Very easy installation. Took about 30 minutes. Put my 5th wheel hitch onto the product and pinned it down. Great item!!

The product has exceeded my expectations. I have had no problems with this product at all. I is low profile enough that when I take out my 5th wheel hitch I do not have to remove the Demco product.

Gave my review elsewhere, but didn’t see a place to add pics. This is adapter was a perfect fit to my 2019 Chevy 2500HD 6-1/2’ bed truck, and allowed use of my Reese Pro Series 16K fixed hitch. It’ll work great towing my 10,000 lb. camper. The only thing to pay attention to is that the thumbscrew used to lock the lever in place after the adapter is installed, is ONLY a THUMB screw. I attempted to give it a final snug with a tool and it snapped right off.

I needed an adapter plate if i was going to utilize my old Reese sliding fifth wheel hitch.
It arrived in very short time . I was skeptical it would be able to securely be able to do the job. 1200 miles later i was home again. It worked great. I currently have it for sale as i have purchased a newer truck and the hitch or plate are compatible.
Great product though.

2018 GMC Sierra 2500

etrailer kept me informed as to the delivery status of my order and I was very please to receive the Demco adapter base for my 2018 GMC 2500HD a week early! The install was simple.

My only issue was the rear Demco product leveling studs that rest on the truck bed pucks were not the same thickness and that caused me some install delays. (See Photo.) etrailer, please let Demco know of this issue so they can improve.

Once I saw this I worked around the issue. Otherwise very well built product that saved me from having to buy a new 5th wheel hitch when I bought the new truck.

2018 GMC Sierra 3500

The demco hitch adapter arrived earlier than expected. Packaging was crap but it fit perfect and was real easy. I did sand & repaint the entire assembly. I also put on the new decals you sent me. (Thank you). When I need additional stuff you will be the company I contact

Fits perfect in my 2019 Silverado 3500hd. The bottom rear feet are not pins. They are flat that you adjust with a supplied Alan wrench. Pin the middle and adjust the feet to keep from rocking back and forth. Side to side. Fits my Reese 16k hitch nicely.



by:

Dropped right in and fit great. Very easy to install. Installed to hold my 16k Pullrite Superglide in my factory 5th wheel prepped 2018 GMC Sierra 2500.



by:

Great product well built fit perfectly made my slider hitch install a breeze



by:

Install was easy, product is as advertised and seems pretty beefy. Only Issue is the Wing Nut to lock it is a weak metal. There appears to be a bit of overspray or extra material making it difficult to get the screw in. My Wing nut sheared off when trying to get it locked down. Luckily I had a Steel Machine Screw with the same dimensions that I used in the second hole.



by:

Item arrived quicker than the back order stated surprisingly enough the thing was pretty heavy if I was a young kid would be easy. connection was simple and easy as well.



by:

So far, So good, my adapter came two days after placing my order. Had it in in a few minutes, set my Huskey fifth wheel slider on it and was finished.
Thanks, for a great product.

Perfect fit packaging was fine arrived on time absolutely phenomenal system. Jesse M was a fantastic customer service representative explained a lot of stuff to me once it arrived installed within 15 minutes.



by:

Was impossible to locate 5th wheel rail mount to fit fit my new 2019 GMC Denali built-in puck system until I called Donna P. at etrailer. The rail fits into all five holes pre-designed and built into my truck bed. Made a heavy-duty construction much heavier than the double rails normally used in truck beds it is certain to last a lifetime. The new Reese Hitch was just as impressive. Thank you Donna!

The Demco rail adapter arrived at our house less than 48 hours after I placed the order. It fit perfectly in our 2018 Silverado 3500, and I was towing our fifth wheel the next day. Everything works as advertised. Thanks to Pat at e-trailer for answering my questions and helping me place our order.

Everything about the Demco adapter works as advertised. A great product. Since February of 2019 we have towed our fifth wheel about 10,000 miles without any problems. Thank you for a great product.

The product arrived as indicated and fit my 2017 GMC Sierra 2500 as stated. I wiil be putting my fifth wheel on this hitch plate and pulling my Columbus 320RS the week before Thanksgiving. I so glad I did not have to drill hples in the bed of my truck. This adapter fit the factory holes for the removable gooseneck set up.



by:

The service I received was exceptional!!! They came in to help me with a small glitch after hours. I would highly recommend etrailer. My Demco 5th wheel rail adapter has really been a great product.

GMC Sierra

Arrived on time, quite heavy though, but after all it's rated for 21,000 lbs.. Fit my new GMC 2500 Sierra with 6 1/2' bed and underbed 5th-wheel towing prep package as promised. Very easy installation and fell right in the prepared opening in the truck bed. More important was that it fit perfectly the 15k PRO Series 5th wheel hitch we already owned. All in all, great product and installed within 1/2 hour.



by:

I'm very happy with the quality of work. Shipping was was quick. The install was very quick and easy. I hope to get a lot of year of use. We purchased this to be able to pull our camper for the summer. Thank you for making our life easier.

We installed it in a new 2019 Silverado 3500 that had the 5th wheel preparation package. It only took about 10 minutes. Then, my 5th wheel hitch from the prior truck attached easily to this new rail system. No need to pay someone to install. Very pleased!

No issues at all with the adapter plate. Worked exactly as described on the website. Fast and easy delivery. Stacey A. was very helpful when ordering. I would buy it again.

No longer own the hitch. Sold the truck and hitch. Was satisfied with the way the hitch performed while I did own it.



by:
2017 Chevrolet Silverado 2500

I like the product. However the leveling pucks were to high to allow the locking pin engagement. I had to grind down the four treaded pads on the plate to raise the pucks. I'm not sure if it was weld slag or the paint that caused the problem. Also there was paint in the treaded holes for the 1/4 - 20 wing nut which prevented the install of the wing nut. I had to chase the treads. I hope that this product will give me may years of good service.



by:

Easy to install Easy to remove I recommend to remove the wing nut and install a grade 5 bolt with a lock washer and a little grease on the bolt The wing nut bolt will break off and then you will have to get it out

  • 5th Wheel Hitch Rail Adapter Kit for 2020 GMC Sierra 3500 HD with OEM Puck System
    The Demco rail adapter kit that you need for your 2020 GMC Sierra 3500 HD is part # DM6333 which is different than the part # DM6194 which was referenced for the 2019 model year. The adapter # DM6333 has a 21K weight capacity and it is compatible with your puck system whether you have the long or short bed.

  • Autoslide 5th Wheel Hitch Recommendation for 2019 GMC Sierra 2500 with Factory Pucks
    We have exactly what you need! For your 2019 GMC Sierra 2500 I recommend either the 18K Demco Hijacker Autoslide 5th Wheel Trailer Hitch # DM8550034 or the 21K Hijacker # DM8550035. 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. It also has a premium wraparound single-piece jaw that will provide an excellent connection with the...

For the short bed version of this adapter part # DM6194 the single triangle needs to face rear of truck.

  • Can The B&W Patriot Be Mounted To Adapter Rails For GM's Puck System
    Hey Tom, The Demco 5th Wheel Rail Adapter for Chevy/GMC OEM 5th Wheel Towing Prep Package # DM6194 would fit your 2019 GMC Sierra 2500's puck system, but the design of the B&W Patriot Slider # BWRVK3270 will prevent it from being able to be mounted to adapter rails like this one. You would unfortunately need to switch to B&W's Companion slider # BWRVK3770 in order to utilize your puck system. I would see try to sell the Patriot to recoup some of your cost to transition over.

  • Recommended 5th Wheel Hitch for 2019 GMC Sierra 2500 with Puck System
    I would be happy to help you select your first 5th wheel hitch for your 2019 GMC Sierra 2500! If you have an 8' bed then you don't need a slider and I recommend the 20K B&W Companion # BWRVK3700 because it has 1" thick dual jaws to secure your king pin and a cam-action latching handle that allows you to release your 5th wheel trailer even if you're parked on uneven terrain. The 20K rating is more than enough for your 12K trailer and since this is made in the USA and comes with a limited...

  • Fifth Wheel Rail Kit Adapters for 2018 GMC Sierra 3500 with Factory Rail Kit
    What's interesting about the GM fifth wheel rail kits in the 2018 GMC Sierra 3500 is that the pucks are different widths apart based on the length of the truck bed. So the Demco 5th Wheel Rail Adapter part # DM6194 fits the short bed trucks and then for the long bed trucks you'd want the Demco 5th Wheel Rail Adapter part # DM6206.

  • Reese Hitch and Sidewinder Recommendation for 2019 GMC Sierra 3500 Short Bed with OEM Rail Kit
    Since we know you have a Rota-Flex pin box on your trailer we also know that there is a Sidewinder that can fit as a replacement. We do need to know more info though to determine which specific Sidewinder you need. You'll need to look for an LCI number like 1621, 1116, 1716 etc. and we'll know which is the correct fit. If you have a Lippert 1621, 1621HD or 0719 you'd want the part # RP34FR. If you have a Lippert 1116, 1716 or 0115 you'd want # RP77FR. So the other part of this that gets...

The center connection will give you the towing you need and the 4 puck locations even though they don't lock in the pucks will minimize any excessive movement of the hitch.

  • Recommended Fifth Wheel Hitch For A 2018 Chevy Silverado 2500 With OEM Puck System
    Since you have the OEM puck system in the bed of your 2018 Chevy Silverado 2500 and you have a 6-1/2' bed I recommend going with a sliding 5th wheel hitch like the B&W Companion OEM 5th Wheel Hitch w/ Slider for Chevy/GMC Towing Prep Package # BWRVK3770. This will drop right into the pucks in your bed for a super easy peasy installation or removal. If you ever get in a tight spot and need the extra turning clearance you can switch the hitch into the rearward position to gain an extra 12"...

This fits the puck pattern on 2020 - 2023 GM Trucks. These legs work with item # DM79GV and # DM29GV Demco Hitches. If you do not have one of these models you will need to use the Demco 5th Wheel Rail Adapter item # DM6333.
