Expert Reply:

With the length of the truck bed in your 2007 Sierra, a standard sliding fifth wheel hitch will not provide enough clearance for you to execute turns when towing. There are two ways you can go at this.

I recommend going with the Demco Hijacker Autoslide, part # DM8550040. This hitch gives you 22-1/2 inches of additional clearance so you can make those tight turns. For above-bed rails you can use part # DM8552013-71.

If you want full use of your truck bed when you are not towing I recommend part # DM8550041, and part # DM8551008.

Another option is to install a fixed fifth wheel hitch like part # RP30047. The above-bed rails you can use are part # RP50064-58.

Installing a fixed fifth wheel hitch will require you to replace your pin box with a Sidewinder. If you let me know what the make and model of your pin box is on your trailer I will be glad to make a Sidewinder recommendation that will work for you.
