Published 05/09/2022

Question:

I have a 2022 GMC Sierra 2500 Denali with the OEM puck system. Would I better better served going with the sliding hitch I am thinking Demco Autoslide or Pullrite or with a fixed hitch with the Reese Sidewinder hitch?

To make your life much easier and add more turning clearance than a sliding hitch can give you for your 2022 GMC Sierra 2500 Denali I recommend a fixed hitch and Sidewinder pin box.

Since you have the OEM prep package I recommend the B&W Companion OEM 5th Wheel Hitch for Chevy/GMC Towing Prep Package # BWRVK3715. B&W is well known for their spectacular American-made quality, and that's just what you'll get with this hitch.

As for the Sidewinder we'll need to know the bolt pattern of your trailer's pin box to find the correct replacement. Typically the pin box will have a tag on it somewhere that will have some serial numbers on it that we can look up to find your bolt pattern. For example the Reese Sidewinder 5th Wheel King Pin with Rotating Turret # RP34FR is designed to fit the following bolt patterns:
