Question:

Which Curt hitch would work to pull a 2004 Teton Sunrise Experience 33-foot model with a 2020 GMC Sierra Denali 3500 Duramax with 20-inch wheels? Im about to order the 3500 and am concerned about the clearance of the trailer over the truck bed rails and if the connected trailer will be level. The box rail height is 21-inches above the bed floor but I cant find the bed floor height above ground on-line and my local dealer doesnt have a 3500 on the lot. I currently pull the Teton with a 2004 GMC Sierra SLT with 16-inch wheels. The trailer GVWR is 14,950 lbs. Thanks for your help.

Are you ordering the truck with the OEM rail kit? What bed length? We don't have the height of the new trucks but I can most likely get better answer with info I asked.

A 16k slider Curt A16 hitch # C16521 would work well but you would need the rail kit part # C88KR which would have a height range of 19-1/2 inch to 23-1/2 inch.
