The best option to tow a 5th wheel trailer with your 2021 Chevy Silverado 2500 is with a 5th wheel hitch that mounts directly to the gooseneck ball, which is called the Recon and is from Demco:
- Demco Recon Gooseneck-to-5th Wheel Trailer Hitch Adapter # DM8550045
While technically an adapter, the Recon # DM8550045 is really a 5th wheel hitch that attaches directly to the gooseneck ball, allowing you to easily and safely tow your fifth wheel trailer. The Recon is simple to install, and is convenient because it comes in two lightweight pieces. This means you can easily install and remove the hitch for a clean, open truck bed or to use your gooseneck ball.
The Recon also has a superb single-piece jaw that wraps totally around the king pin, and is reinforced via a 3/4" solid steel bar that locks into place once the jaw is closed. This reinforced jaw system ensures you will have a comfortable ride while using the hitch.
