Question:
Prior question: What models do you offer? I see some Q25 but specs state 8foot bed. My pin weight approx 2000lb and trailer GVWR of 12500. Thanks. Your answer: BWRVK3770 - bolt w/o adapter. Do you offer any other models for less money w/o adapter? Also will these 5ers fit all manufacturers pin boxes? I was planning on installing hitch then hunt for trailer.

B&W 5th wheel trailer hitch # BWRVK3770 is the only one that fits directly into the prep package on your 2017 Chevy Silverado 3500 short bed. The lowest cost option is to use Curt 16K hitch # 16516 with the adapter # C16023. That hitch uses a slide-bar jaw though so that would allow for more movement between the jaw and king pin than the dual jaw version, # C16521.
But as far as a hitch that fits directly the B&W is the only option.
The king pins on 5th wheel trailers are an industry standard size so you can get any 5th wheel hitch and it will work for the trailer that you choose.
