Recommended 5th Wheel Hitch for a 2023 Chevy Silverado 2500 Short Bed w/ the Factory Puck System
Published 09/28/2022
Question:
I am getting a brand new 2023 Chevy Silverado 2500 short bed with the factory puck system. I plan on installing a 5th wheel hitch. Which one would be the best option? I will need a slider.

Expert Reply:
The best option for a sliding 5th wheel hitch on your 2023 Chevy Silverado 2500 is the B&W Companion item # BWRVK3775. The Companion slider will easily mount in the pucks inside the bed of your Silverado.
The Companion hitch will give you 12" of travel for making tight turns and backing into spaces. The 1" thick dual jaw design gives you a 360-degree jaw to kingpin contact. Not only does this provide a more secure connection it also limits chucking and jarring. The deal jaw feature delivers a safer, more comfortable, and quiet towing experience.
I have linked a review video below along with the instructions.
