Question:
I have 44 inches from the very front of the axel on 2018 GMC 4 wheel drive 4 door pickup with a 61/2 foot bed. I am considering a sliding 5th wheel hitch. how many inches in front of the axel should the king pin be? also your opinion of this hitch and are there better alternatives?

Expert Reply:
It sounds like you might just be looking for a fifth wheel hitch for your 2018 GMC Sierra 1500 with 6-1/2' bed and if that's the case then we do have some great options but you will need a sliding hitch for cab clearance. The B&W Patriot 5th Wheel Trailer Hitch part # BWRVK3270 is what I recommend which will require the B&W Custom Installation Kit part # BWRVK2503. In general, the install kit will place the king pin over the rear axle as much as possible but some move it slightly forward or rearward.
