Can I Use A Fixed Fifth Wheel Hitch With My 2022 Chevrolet Silverado With The Short Truck Bed
Published 01/05/2022
Question:
Will a fixed fifth wheel hitch work in my 2022 Chevrolet Silverado 2500 with the factory OEM package?

Expert Reply:
You can definitely use a fifth wheel hitch on your 2022 Chevrolet Silverado 2500, but it will have to be a sliding fifth wheel hitch. Without the sliding action, your fifth wheel trailer can hit the rear of your trucks cab on sharp turns. The slider creates more room between your fifth wheel trailer and the cabin of your truck during towing, eliminating this potential problem.
My fifth wheel hitch receiver recommendation is the B&W Companion OEM 5th Wheel Hitch w/ Slider for Chevy/GMC Towing Prep Package - Dual Jaw - 20K, part # BWRVK3775. This B&W fifth wheel hitch has three height settings, which makes it easier to keep your fifth wheel level during towing. It will give you an additional 12" when it slides back in the fifth wheel hitch. It has a gross towing weight of 20,000 lbs and it installs in the factory towing prep package.
