Fifth Wheel Hitch Recommendation for 2022 Chevy Silverado 2500 Short Bed with Prep Package

Published 11/02/2022

Question:

hi guys wife wants a 5th wheel , she let me upgrade the tw from a 2019 ram 2500 with the hemi to a 2022 chevrolet 2500 SB with the diesel and pucks in the bed. since i havent ever towed a 5th wheel im now trying to figure out the best hitch setup. my friend has a Demco Recon, one of my customers says a BandW companion ,and ive heard about a gooseneck set up . just looking for information and this seemed like a good place to ask

The B and W Companion hitches are widely considered to be the best hitches out there due to how quiet they are, how well they are made/hold up over time, and how easy they are to use. So for your 2022 Chevy Silverado short bed that has the OEM prep package the Companion part # BWRVK3775 would be your best option. This is a slider hitch which can slide back to give you additional turning clearance like what short bed trucks require when towing a fifth wheel. Unlike other options this fits directly to your prep package and does not require any adapters.
