Question:
I just purchased a new 2023 GMC Sierra 2500 Short Bed with the OEM puck system. I would like to install a 5th wheel trailer hitch. Which one would you recommend?

Expert Reply:
Because you have a short bed truck I recommend The B&W Companion OEM 5th Wheel Hitch # BWRVK3775 for your 2023 GMC Sierra 2500. This 5th wheel hitch has a direct bolt-on fit and requires no adapters and also has a sliding feature so you can gain clearance from the cab so you will no problems making turns.
I like The B&W hitch over the others that we sell because it is by far the best hitch on the market because it has a thick dual jaw design which allows it to grip the kingpin tightly making it provide a smooth ride. Another cool feature is that it has a cam-action handle that allows for uncoupling on uneven terrain. The B&W hitch can be quite heavy so I also recommend The B&W 5th Wheel Lifting Device # BWRVXA3130 which help you lift the companion out of your truck.
I attached a review video link below describing the 5th wheel hitch a little more. If you have any other questions please reach back out to me and I will be more than happy to further assist you in your towing endeavors.
