For your 2019 GMC Sierra 2500 we have the B&W Companion hitches available as a direct fit which we recommend highly. The Companion hitches are considered by most RVers to be the nicest hitches available because of how well they are made, how tight they hold the king pin, and how long they last. So if you have a short bed truck you'll need a slider hitch to allow you the needed turning clearance. For that you'd want the B&W Companion Slider part # BWRVK3770 and you'd be set. If you have a long bed you'd want the fixed hitch version part # BWRVK3700.

I am looking to buy a hitch for my 2019 GMC Hd2500. We are buying a 5th wheel 2015 Bayhill. Why is there a need for a slider hitch if your doing regular driving and regular turns. The slide hitch has to be manually released so don’t really see purpose.

A sliding hitch is used for increased turning clearances in tight areas. They are especially helpful when backing a trailer and maneuvering around gas pumps. Regular turns are normally not an issue when driving forward on roads (although you will still swing wide on right turns), but you will see a significant difference the additional 10-12 inches gives you for cab clearance you likely will need when backing your trailer at various angles. Many of the Bayhill models do have a rounded front to assist with turning clearances, but I still recommend using a sliding hitch to ensure you won't have contact between your cab and the trailer.

For your 2018 Chevy Silverado 3500HD with the factory rail kit the correct 5th wheel hitch from B&W depends on the length of your truck's bed. If you have a short bed you'd want the Companion item #BWRVK3770. This is a slider hitch which…

Since you have the OEM puck system in the bed of your 2018 Chevy Silverado 2500 and you have a 6-1/2' bed I recommend going with a sliding 5th wheel hitch like the B&W Companion OEM 5th Wheel Hitch w/ Slider for Chevy/GMC Towing Prep Package…

Hey Steve, so between the Curt #C16265 and the PullRite #PUL36ZR I'd go wit the Curt but not the Q25. I'd go with the A25 #C24FR, which is basically the same thing as the Q25 but does not require the #C88KR adapter. Only the Curt is going to…

You will have to go with a sliding hitch to allow the trailer to make tight turns. For a trailer 8 feet wide the only bed length that's going to allow 90 degree turns without a slider is a stationary hitch. That being said you have two options.…

First, you are going to need a sliding hitch for the 6-1/2 foot bed on your 2018 GMC Sierra 2500. And I would highly recommend an aftermarket hitch which is very high quality at a better price. It is a very good idea to get the factory underbed rail…

Answer 12

The Reese Elite Series 5th Wheel Trailer Hitch w/ Wiring Harness RP30871 was designed to fit Ford's puck spacing footprint so if your 2016 GMC 2500HD has a factory puck system from GM it will not fit. If you had an aftermarket puck system…
