Works great. Love the slide feature. Let's me move the clack back so I can fuel up the generator without needing to unhook. Coach just floates behind truck with this hitch. Super simple to hookup and unhook as well.

The etrailer experts are a great resource. I requested information on what hitch would be best for my truck and situation. With the advice of an expert I felt confident in making this purchase and I am confident that this hitch will serve me well.
Very easy to install takes 2 people most of the way and very time consuming . Looks great but haven't hooked up to a 5th wheel trailer yet . Will update at that time .
This product will do the job nothing fancy. Very very important you have help and multiple drill bits and various type of wrenches of the same size. Abt 3 hours to install with help and the instructions suck so get ready to call tech support which were very very helpful.

Package was a bit beat up, product is scratched up a bit but works as it should. Adam did a great job putting together everything I needed for delivery on time for my use.

When you use google chrome it does not move you to the next page to custom fit.
So it just tells you your truck shows you the product and I order 6k worth of items without putting in the custom specs that you don't know to hit. Somehow with the info I put in my two other products work but this one doesn't and I have to pay for shipping to this to fix it. Wish if you ordered 6k worth of Items they would be a little more understanding that their site does not walk you what needs to be done and help you fix the problem without charging you more. Prep and Puck systems are two different things now I know.

Exactly as ordered! Arrived a week early, and carrier even dragged it up the driveway for me. All parts present and zero damage. Install is straight forward, but man is this heavy!!!

Bought this as an open box item. I called on a Saturday to confirm a few details on the item and got my questions answered in just a few minutes! Thanks Brett! Was repacked great so arrived in great condition. etrailer has excellent service!
Very easy install. Looks great. Functions perfect. Easy hook up to fifth wheel. Perfect fit for my 2017 gmc HD Denali 3/4 ton with factory installed fifth wheel plate. Love it thanks. Just what I was looking for. Better than paying 1,000 dollars at chevy dealer for them to order.

Love the Anderson Ultimate 5th Wheel Hitch. I have recommended it to everyone who has asked about it, and where to get it! Would highly recommend Anderson products. It eliminated all but 40lbs of hitch weight in it self. Tows great.

We have the Anderson Hitch installed on our 2017 Ford SuperDuty and pull a Reflection 337RLS. We have traveled over 4,000 miles and have been extremely satisfied. The hitch allows plenty of clearance between 5th wheel, bed, and the truck cab. Hook-up and disconnect has always been easy, even with RV lots that were uneven dirt lots. I use Curt thin rubber sound dampeners (item 16900) and this provides a quiet, tight fit between the rails and hitch. Of course the light weight makes it easy to remove when not towing and less weight when you are towing. A great product for the right truck, trailer combination.
I have ran a cheap competitor hitch for several years.
A manufacturing defect (welded pivot pin) caused the hitch to fail and resulted in 18000$ damage to my truck and trailer.
I chose the Curt 25000# hitch after much research and found it to be very well made and clearly shows when it is properly coupled. It is quiet and operates with minimal klunking and chunking going down the road.
Overall I am very pleased.
It took me about an hour to install the hitch by myself. The hitch is just what I expected, it assembled well and was designed for my GMC just as expected.

I recently purchased a Reese M5 20K hitch for my new Silverado 3500HD, Crew Cab, 8’ bed. As usual, Etrailer pricing was very good and with free shipping to boot. The hitch arrived via UPS in just a few days after placing the order.
Following the detailed instructions provided by Reese, the install into the factory “puck” system, was fairly straight forward. However, a word of caution concerning the install. There are 4 15/16” bolts that need to be torqued to 220-foot pounds and are somewhat difficult to get to. Fortunately, I was able to borrow a torque wrench that would accommodate the recommended foot pounds of torque.
Also, you may have an issue if you need to place the hitch at its highest position. The release handle might protrude above the bed rails of your truck in this position. This will be a problem if you have a bed cover. Reese is/was well aware of this issue and sells an after-market handle that will correct this issue. Etrailer lists this handle on their Web page.
Installed in a 2018 GMC 3500 LB SRW
Overall it was really easy to put together. Its light enough move in and out and very sturdy. I did not have a clearance issue with the Backflip cover regarding the stock handle. See pics.
Just a heads up, I had an issue with the threading in the legs, etrailer was very understanding and sent me out replacements supper fast. I contacted Reese regarding paint guncked up in the threading and they were aware of the issue, they recommended running a wire brush or a tap to clean it out.
Today on our 2015 GMC Sierra 2500, we're going to be taking a look at the inaudible 00:00:04 hijacker auto slide fifth wheel trailer hitch. Part number DM850034.This hitch is going to provide you with 18,000 pounds gross weight rating, it's going to give you 14 inches of travel to the very back, it's going to have a single jaw system which makes for a tighter fit around your king pin.To activate the jaw system, when hooking up to your trailer, you simply pull the safety pin and clip, slide your handle out, and you'll see how the draw spreads apart. Once you lock the handle open, when you back your king pin in, or back up to your trailer, it's going to spread this apart just a little bit. What it's going to do, it's going to put pressure on this side, which is going to release the handle lock and allow the jaw to close.You're going to have guide rails here and that's what sets this apart from others. These guide rails can be adjusted depending on the size of your pin box. All you would do is once you have your pin box, or you're attached to your fifth wheel, you're going to take these rails, going to loosen them up, slide them in, up against your pin box and then tighten them back into place.
The Reese 16K 5th wheel hitch # RP30051 will fit into any industry-standard 5th wheel base rails, including rails from Curt, Draw-Tite, Hidden-Hitch, Husky, Pro Series, Reese and Valley. These are the same type of rails that accept the Curt Q 20 hitch # C16130. Since you have long bed you won't need to use a sliding hitch and could instead use the fixed model # RP30047
If you happen to need a replacement 5th wheel wire harness for the bed of the truck you can use part # C56000,... view full answer...
We do have an Autoslide fifth wheel hitch that may work for you. It is the Demco Hijacker, part # DM8550034.
I called my contact at Demco and asked about disconnecting and the angle it can be detached. They told me that there is a 10 degree angle that the trailer can be disconnected to with the Autoslide. Since the opening that the king pin slides into has a limited amount of movement, trying to detach the trailer at a sharper angle would not work. With the Autoslide you have... view full answer...
The Reese Titan has been discontinued but there is a similar 20,000 lb capacity hitch from Reese, the M5 # RP30928.
If you do not have base rails in your 2015 GMC Sierra 2500, I recommend the Reese Quick-Install Custom Installation Kit # RP50066-58 which are specific to your truck and will minimize drilling and the installation time. The kit includes both the brackets and base rails needed to mount the Select Plus.

The Reese Elite/Signature Series 18K-rated 5th wheel hitch # RP30144 was made to directly fit into an under-bed rail kit. The under-bed rail kit for your 2015 GMC Sierra 2500 short-bed is part # RP30868.
Review and installation videos for this kit are linked for your reference.
If you need an in-bed wiring harness for the 5th wheel you can use kit # 50-97-410. view full answer...
I recommend using a sliding fifth wheel hitch for your application on your 2015 GMC Sierra 2500. Part # C16541 is the sliding hitch that suits your application. Part # C16411-204 is the rail kit to get your hitch installed into your truck. I have attached an install video to help assist you in getting everything installed on your truck.

Yes, since you have a set of above bed rails that a Reese hitch has fit in the Demco Hijacker Autoslide hitch part # DM8550034 will fit and work well.

The Demco Hijacker Autoslide 5th Wheel Trailer Hitch w/ Slider # DM8550022 and the Pullrite 2700 are very similar hitches. Both hitches will automatically slide back, up to 14", as you turn to give you the capability to make 90 degree turns with your 2015 GMC Sierra 2500 6.5' bed. They both feature similar designs and require capture plates to lock the king pin in place in the hitch.
As for the differences, the Demco has an adjustable height of 15-1/2 - 18-1/4" tall while... view full answer...
I looked up the towing capacity of your 2015 GMC 2500HD with a gas engine and it looks to have a 13,000 lb towing capacity. If you stay under that you'd be totally safe. You might still verify your towing capacity with your owners manual.
The Reese hitch part # RP30928 that you referenced has more capacity than you'd need but it's a really great hitch due to it's overall build quality and jaw design that holds the king pin tightly which translates into a smoother ride quality.... view full answer...
The decision to use a standard or sliding 5th wheel hitch comes down to how comfortable you are in making certain turns with your rig. With short bed vehicles, the clearance between the cab of the truck and your 5th wheel trailer can be an issue if you are trying to make 90-degree plus turns. Most people find using the slider hitch reinsures them that they can make these turns without having any contact between the cab of your vehicle and the trailer.
With this in mind, I researched... view full answer...
The easiest 5th wheel base rail kit to install is the custom type that requires less drilling (it uses existing holes in the frame) and less overall installation time compared to less-costly universal kits like # RP30035. The Reese kit # RP50066-58 that you referenced is such a custom-fit type and is a great choice for your Sierra with 8-foot bed. The linked installation video shows this kit being installed in a 2012 Sierra.

The Firestone Ride Rite system part # F2709 that you installed on your 2015 GMC Sierra 2500 is compatible with fifth wheel rail kits so it would allow you to install a fifth wheel hitch like the Demco Part # DM8550037 that you referenced.
The correct rail kit you would need to install this hitch is the part # DM8551010 which has been confirmed as a fit for your truck.

Since you have a short bed truck you are going to need to get a slider fifth wheel hitch to allow you to make tight turns. Since getting out and operating the slider every time you get to a parking lot can be a bit of a hassle I would recommend the Demco Hijacker AutoSlide part # DM8550022.
This hitch will automatically slide back when making tight turns. If you are looking for the best setup this would be it.

One of the nicest fifth wheel hitches and the one I recommend for your 2015 GMC 2500 is the Demco Autoslide # DM8550034. When this system is installed you get 14 inches of additional clearance so your trailer does not hit the cab of your truck. The great thing about this hitch is that it automatically slides toward the tailgate when making turns and returns when you straighten out.
The installation kit # DM8552011-71 is what you need to install the Demco in your truck. view full answer...
I looked up the towing capacity of your 2015 GMC Sierra 2500HD with a Duramax diesel and it looks to have a 13,000 lb towing capacity like you mentioned. If the trailers you are considering will weigh less than that when loaded and ready to tow you'd be fine, but you can't exceed this number safely. The length of the trailer is not quite as important as it's really the weight that's the issue.

You can install a 5th wheel hitch in your truck BUT Curt Q20 5th Wheel Trailer Hitch # C16671 was designed for Chevy/GMC trucks that came with the factory 5th wheel prep package. This package was not available on the 2015 model year GMC Sierra 2500. It wasn't available as an option until the 2016 model year.
For an underbed system that is like the factory prep package you can use one of the following set ups:

Pin boxes that pivot like the Trailair Turning Point or the Reese Sidewinder should not be used with the B and W Companion hitches that install to a gooseneck hitch. You will need a hitch setup that attaches at four corners of the hitch and not just a center post. We can help with that.
For a hitch the Reese # RP30047 would work well and then to install it you'd need a custom install rail kit like the Reese # RP50066-58 which will minimize drilling and install time when compared... view full answer...
Yes, the Reese Titan Hitch part # RP30867 would work great with your Sidewinder 61411.
The wedge you would want is the part # RP30865 as it is the custom fit one for the hitch. view full answer...
Most likely yes, but you are going to need to check the owners manual of your truck to be certain. Without knowing whether you have a 2500 or a 3500 it's hard to be more specific.
For fifth wheel rails you would want to go with a custom install kit like the part # RP56001-53 that has been confirmed as a fit for your vehicle.
Since you have a 6-1/2 foot bed you would need a slider hitch to make tight turns. For that you would want the # RP30083 as it has a very nice jaw design... view full answer...
Thankfully basically all sliding fifth wheel hitches out there fit the Reese above bed rails you have in your 2015 GMC Sierra 2500. For a standard slider I really like the Curt A20 slider part # C16541 due to it's tight jaw design and round tube slider that allows it to be quieter and smoother than other options.
