New 2019 GMC 3500 dually with factory puck mounts. What do you recommend for a 16000 # max gross weight fifth wheel and what does the complete unit weigh? Thanks

Expert Reply:

For your 2019 GMC Sierra 3500 that has the factory pucks/rail kit the best fifth wheel hitch is the B and W Companion part # BWRVK3700. This USA made hitch is the easiest to use, is the smoothest and quietest since the jaws hold the king pin very tightly, and is the most reliable. Nearly all RVers agree that the best fifth wheel hitches are the B and W Companion hitches so this one that fits directly to your GM rail kit is the best option. It has a 20k capacity too which means it would easily have enough capacity for your 16,000 lb trailer. This weighs 162 lb.

There's a 25k capacity version too part # BWRVK3705 but this would be overkill for your setup!
