Best Value for 5th Wheel Hitch for 2021 Chevy Silverado 2500 Long Bed With Factory Puck System

Updated 12/04/2020 | Published 12/02/2020

Question:

So this may be a big ask but I have a 2021 Chevy Silverado 2500 with the factory 5th wheel prep package with the pucks. It is a long bed so I am looking for a fixed hitch but would really like something high quality with a high tow rating (20k or so) that is not going to completely break the bank. I don't mind paying for quality items but these 5th wheel hitches aren't cheap so cost is definitely a consideration. What hitch for this truck would you say is the best value?

There is definitely one 5th wheel hitch that fits your 2021 Chevy Silverado 2500 long bed with the factory puck system that stands out among the rest in regards to being the best value, and that is the Demco Hijacker UMS Double Pivot 5th Wheel Hitch # DM37VR.

This hitch has a unique combination of being relatively cost-effective compared to other 5th wheel hitches but is still a very high-quality hitch. There are a number of reasons for that, starting with the jaw system. As you can see in the accompanying photo, the Hijacker UMS has a single-piece jaw that envelops the king pin, and that connection is reinforced via a 3/4" solid steel bar.

This reinforced jaw system, combined with the Hijacker's cushioned dampeners, will give you a quieter, more comfortable ride than other hitches for a more peaceful towing experience. The hitch also has the capacity you are looking for, as it is capable of pulling 21,000 lbs.

So from top to bottom, there just isn't a better value for a 5th wheel hitch for your 2021 Chevy Silverado 2500 than the Demco Hijacker UMS Double Pivot 5th Wheel Hitch # DM37VR.
