If you own a fifth wheel hitch already and purchase a truck with the puck system this is the way to go. Saves you money and works like a champ.

Awesome product. When I bought my new Silverado thinking that I would have to buy a new 21K hitch to tow my 5th Wheel but this took care of that issue and saved me a lot of money. Built solid, easy install.

2017 Chevrolet Silverado 3500

I needed an adapter for my 2017 GMC 3500, found the Demco DM6206, very well made and very heavy. Fit like a glove in my truck. Well pleased with the purchase from etrailer.



by:

Product dropped right onto truck and Hensley hitch pinned in nicely. I’m a little disappointed in the “slop” though. The adapter is secured by the goose neck hole and wobbles on the 4PUC holes with @1” slop. Camper is secure but it’s annoying

Demco has since made a design change that allows the feet that fit into the truck bed pucks to be tightened up. If you have the older model that did not allow for this adjustability which is what it sounds like, Demco offers a shim kit which Ill have them send out to you.



by:

After I received the adapter and installed my Demco hitch, I did not like the way it fit. There was some pivot between the hitch and the adapter plate, about 1/4 in. even thought the pins went in to secure the hitch to the adapter, I did not feel comfortable. I bought at Curt hitch and did away with the Demco hitch and Demco adapter.
I bought all these product from etrailer and was very please with the purchase process and shipping.



by:

The product was delivered very quick has usual with e trailer but I had to make some modifications to my Spyder gooseneck hitch so it would fit down all the way so I could get pins in the adapter and Kaylyn was awesome to work with easy to talk too so it was a good experience overall



by:
2018 Ram 3500

Great fast shipping. Product fit perfect in my 2018 GMC 3500 with OEM underbed hitch system. My Reese 20K 5th wheel hitch also fit perfectly into the rails. If you are looking to put older style rails in your newer truck and use your older 5th wheel hitch this is what you want. Very well made product and also heavy duty. Weighs about 100lbs plus hitch weight. I would definitely recommend product and etrailer to anyone. Very helpful getting you safe and back on the road to more camping and towing.



by:

Made moving 5th wheel hitch to new truck very easy, quick to remove and there are no rails that stay in the bed of your truck



by:
2017 Ram 3500

Just received the hitch adapter today. It is heavy and so far seems like it will work. Have a concern about the one point locking but I have seen no reviews stating anyone had problems. Would like to see four corner locking with the same adapter. I tow a trailer around 13000 lbs loaded so we are wanting to try it out. Will report on it after I get a chance to use it. E trailer is a good company to deal with.



by:

works fine. Has a little wobble from corner to corner and rattles a little. Once hocked up to 5th wheel the weight takes away any rattle and wobble.



by:

Just installed my adapter (quick and easy)! etrailer service was out standing (1st time doing business) intend to do a lot business with these folks.

2019 Chevrolet Silverado 3500

Great product. It was so easy to put in my new Chevy I had to read the instructions 2 more times. Ordering thru E-trailer was also a great experience, help getting the correct order for my truck and it came when promised. Will definitely use them again when the need is there.

The craftsmanship is excellent and installation was a breeze. Well done!

  • Can Demco Hijacker Autoslide Hitch be Used on Long Bed Chevy Silverado
    Although a sliding hitch isn't needed on a long bed truck since you don't have to worry about cab clearance, there is no reason one like the Demco Hijacker Autoslide # DM8550034 can't be used on your 2018 Chevy Silverado 3500. It will still work great on your new truck to provide you with an excellent connection with the trailer and an 18,000 pound towing weight capacity. If your new Silverado is equipped with the factory puck system you will also need to add the Rail Adapter # DM6206,...

  • Does Demco GM Fifth Wheel Rail Kit Adapter Have to Face Specific Direction
    I checked the install instructions for the Demco GM 8 ft bed fifth wheel rail adapter part # DM6206 and they show that the larger triangle on the top plate needs to be on the rear side of the truck bed. For the short bed version of this adapter part # DM6194 the single triangle needs to face rear of truck.

  • Using a Reese 20K Round Tube Slider 5th Wheel Hitch in a 2018 GMC Sierra 3500 w/Factory Prep Package
    As long as your 2018 GMC Sierra 3500 is a short bed you can use adapter # C16023 with your Reese 20K hitch with round tube slider. If your truck is a long bed the above adapter will not fit due to differences between the short and long bed versions of the factory prep package. Assuming your factory prep package includes the gooseneck hitch as well you can use adapter # DM6206 with your Reese hitch on the long bed model. Installing any other 5th wheel installation kit would be a major...

  • 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.

  • Converting Curt Q24 Sliding 5th Wheel Hitch To OEM Puck System on 2018 GMC Sierra 3500
    Thank you for all of the info! There are a few different options for using your sliding Curt Q24 # C16546 with the puck system on your 2018 GMC Sierra 3500. If you have the short bed then you need the Adapter Rails # C16023 but if you have the long bed you can either use the Adapter Rails # DM6206 to retain the sliding feature (for future use) or you can swap out the slider for the Stationary Legs # C16025 which drops your Q24 straight into the pucks on your pickup.

  • 5th Wheel Rail Adapter for 2017 GMC Sierra 3500 With Factory Puck System
    What Reese hitch - the model number - do you have? It may be possible to switch out the legs or use an adapter. But to know for sure I would have to know the model number of your current Reese hitch. If you can let me know I'd be happy to help.

  • How to Tell if 2019 Chevy Silverado 2500 has OEM Rail Kit
    The OEM rail kit/package that your 2019 Chevy Silverado 2500 could have came with would look like 5 pucks in the bed of the truck that a hitch would fit into. If you look into the bed of your truck and you don't see any mounting hole you wouldn't have it. Most likely you'd know if you did though since they are pretty noticeable. I attached a picture that shows what it looks like for you to check out as well. If you don't have the OEM rail kit the Curt kit part # C16411-204 is the correct...

  • Does Demco 5th Wheel Rail Adapter for Chevy/GMC Fit in All Four Pucks
    The Demco 5th Wheel Rail Adapter for Chevy/GMC OEM 5th Wheel Towing Prep Package will definitely sit in all four pucks and locks into place inside those pucks. It is possible you may have ordered the wrong adapter, which is why it isn't fitting. The Demco 5th Wheel Rail Adapter # DM6194, which is what you have, only fits if your 2017 Chevy Silverado 3500 has a 6-1/2 foot bed. If your '17 Silverado 3500 has an 8 foot bed you will instead need the Demco 5th Wheel Rail Adapter # DM6206. The...

  • 5th Wheel Hitch Compatibility with GMC OEM Puck System for 5th Wheel Prep
    There is not an adapter for the 15K Hitchhiker 5th wheel hitch you have with rails running front to back. The only adapter currently available is the Demco 5th Wheel Rail Adapter for 8 foot bed # DM6206 of the 6-1/2 foot bed adapter # DM6194. Both of these are rated for up to 21,000 lbs and will give you the industry standard rail locations for the hitches compatible with the horizontal bed rails. My recommendation is to use the Curt A16 # C16520-16025 for a long bed truck or short bed...

  • Will a Andersen Ultimate 5th Wheel Trailer Hitch Fit into the 2018 GM Factory Puck System?
    I assume you are referring to the Anderson Ultimate Connection item # AM3200 you were looking at. This will fit your 2018 Chevy Silverado short bed but you will need to use the Demco 5th Wheel Rail Adapter for Chevy/GMC OEM 5th Wheel Towing Prep Package item # DM6206.

    You can install the Reese 20k fifth wheel hitch part # RP30081 in a 2019 Chevy Silverado 2500 with the factory fifth wheel rail kit/pucks but you'd also need the rail kit adapter part # DM6206. This fits the rail kit of the truck and provides a rail that fits the Reese hitch.

This adapter drops into the factory prep setup for Chevy/GMC OEM 5th wheels and provides the equivalent of standard base rails that will accept any ISR (industry standard rail) type hitch up to a 21K rating. Since your hitch is a slider and you have a long bed truck you will not need to release the slide mechanism for making...

  • Rail Adapters Confirmed to Fit a 2019 GMC Sierra 2500 With Factory Prep/Puck System
    For your 2019 GMC Sierra 2500 the correct rails will depend on your bed length as the Adapter Rails # C88KR will only fit the 2020 and newer Chevrolet and GMC Heavy Duty trucks with the Prep/Puck system. For an 8' long bed you will need the Demco 5th Wheel Rail Adapter # DM6206. For the 6-1/2' short bed either the Curt Adapter Rails # C16023 or Demco 5th Wheel Rail Adapter # DM6194 will be the one you need.

  • Rail Kit Adapter Recommendation to Fit Reese Fifth Wheel Hitch in 2017 Chevy Factory Rail Kit
    We have exactly what you are looking for. The Demco rail adapter part # DM6194 fits the factory rail kit of your 2017 Chevy Silverado if your truck has a short bed. If instead you have a long bed the correct adapter is part # DM6206. Both of these adapters will provide a set of industry standard fifth wheel rails to fit the Reese hitches you have. GM made the factory rail kits different dimensions though depending on the length of the bed.

    The GMC integrated brake controller on your 2018 GMC Sierra 3500 may or may not work with your EOH system. Previous model years have required an adapter like the HydraStar # HBA-CAM to function well together. The Pull-Rite Auto slide hitch will work in a standard bed of the GMC truck. You don't need a sliding hitch with an 8 foot bed, but you would with the 6-1/2 foot bed. For either bed size, I recommend the custom bed rails # RP50066-58 for industry standard above bed rails.

This adapter will mount directly to the factory pucks in your truck bed to provide industry-standard base rails that the Husky hitch will attach to.

Curt is one of the hitches that uses legs compatible with the different pucks, so I will give you both options. For a Ram, you will use Reese adapter # RP30154 or Demco # DM6099. You can alternatively use the Curt legs # C16021 which will mount directly to your pucks. For a Chevy or GMC, you will use the Curt OEM 5th Wheel...

  • 5th Wheel Rail Kit Adapter for Fitting Reese Hitch to 2018 Chevy Silverado 3500 w Factory Rail Kit
    We have the rail adapter you need, but it depends on the length of your truck bed since the rail kits are different dimensions for different bed lengths. For the long bed GM trucks with the rail kits the correct adapter is the part # DM6206. Then for the short bed trucks you'd want the part # DM6194. Both kits provide the same type of rails that your Reese hitch would fit.
