• Recommended 5th Wheel Hitch for a 2025 Chevy Silverado 2500 w/ a Factory Puck System
  Hey Caitlin congrats on the new truck! The Curt A20 5th Wheel Hitch item # C84FR is definitely a solid hitch that does mount directly to your Silverado's factory puck system. It has a 20,000 lbs capacity so it'll definitely have enough strength for your Keystone Cougar. The reason I like the Curt A20 item # C84FR is because of the dual-jaw system. They interlock when the jaws are closed, which ensures total security and grip around your king pin. This system is what is going to provide...

• Can the Non-Slider B&W Companion Hitch Be Used on a 2020 Chevy Silverado 2500 Short Bed
  For a 2020 Chevrolet Silverado 2500, I recommend the B&W Companion OEM 5th Wheel Hitch part # BWRVK3710 or part # BWRVK3775 over the Curt A20 5th Wheel Trailer Hitch part # C84FR. The reason for this is because the cam-action handle on the B&W Companion makes a world of difference when it comes to uncoupling the trailer on un-level ground. In order to determine if a sliding fifth wheel hitch is needed, you will have to do some measuring as clearances change for each truck/trailer. In short,...

• Is Reese M5 Available for 2020 Chevy Silverado 2500
  There are a few reasons why you are having problems finding the Reese M5 hitch as a fit for your 2020 Chevy Silverado 2500. The first is that it looks like you input that you have a 6-3/4' bed with the OEM Prep Package. While that is an excellent option, Reese hasn't released a sliding M5 hitch as of yet (March 2020). We do have the 20K M5 # RP30928 that fits standard base rails but you'll need the adapter # DM6333 to make it compatible and we only really recommend stationary hitches...

• Recommended Fifth Wheel Hitch For 2020 GMC Sierra 2500 Short Bed With OEM Prep Package
  The Curt brand does manufacture quality fifth wheel hitches with thick dual jaws. However, there is not a Curt slider hitch option for the 2020 GMC Sierra 2500 with OEM prep package. You will need a sliding hitch for the short bed to insure cab clearance with the overhang of the fifth wheel. This will allow you to make sharper turns without knocking out your back window. I recommend to use the B&W Companion OEM 5th Wheel Hitch w/ Slider for Chevy/GMC Towing Prep Package part # BWRVK3775...

• Where to Start When Determining Why Fifth Wheel Hitch Would Create Banging Noise When Pulling Away
  Can you see where the movement is that is creating the noise? If you have someone in the backseat watch the hitch and trailer pin box as you pull away from the stop see if you can see where the movement is when you hear the bang. This hitch is not known to be super loud so I wouldn't suspect the usual problem being a loose fit between the king pin and the hitch jaws.

• What Is The Difference Between The Curt A20 And Q20 5th Wheel Hitches For A 2022 GMC Sierra 3500?
  Though both the Curt A20 # C84FR and Q20 # C57FR that are designed to fit your 2022 GMC Sierra 3500 long bed with the factory pucks are rated for the same weight capacities (20k towing and 5k vertical load), there are a few key differences between them that I have listed below.

• Differences Between Curt A20 and Q20 5th Wheel Hitch
  Both the Curt # C57FR Q20 and # C84FR A20 are compatible with the pucks in the bed of your 2021 GMC Sierra 2500 long bed. There are a few important differences. The A20 uses an interlocking jaw that holds the king pin tightly all around its 360º circumference. The Q20 uses a 2 piece jaw that doesn't interlock, so it doesn't hold the king pin quite as tightly as the A20 does. This means that the king pin won't move around in the jaws which provides a smoother ride. The A20 uses a torsion...

• How to Change Height of Curt C84FR A20 5th Wheel Hitch
  On each side of the Curt A20 # C84FR hitch head/center section assembly, there are a series of mounting holes for attaching the hitch legs which allow you to raise or lower the hitch height from a minimum of 13 inches to a maximum of 17 inches, as I've shown in the provided photo.

• Comparing Curt A20 and Curt Q20 5th Wheel Hitch for 2020 GMC Sierra 3500
  The difference between the Q20 # C16130 and the A20 # C16140 is the design of the head. The A20 is the newer design that has the more standard dual pivoting head allowing front to back and side to side movement. The Q20 has a spherical axial bearing that allows 360 degree movement for a quieter ride. Customers have also at times had issues with easily connecting to their trailer because the head can move in all directions. My recommendation for you is the A20 and if you have the factory...
