Question:
I have a 2023 GMC Sierra 2500 with a standard bed. Do I need a slider hitch or will a fixed hitch work for me? I have the OEM prep package.

Yes, you will want to use a sliding fifth wheel hitch for your 2023 GMC Sierra 2500 that has a standard sized bed. Using a sliding hitch will prevent the nose of your 5th wheel trailer from coming in contact with the cab or your bed when making turns. If your 5th wheel trailer has a rotating pin box you will be able to use a fixed hitch.
Out of the 5th wheel hitches that we offer I recommend the B&W Companion OEM 5th Wheel Hitch w/ Slider # BWRVK3775. I like the Companion hitch over the others because it is constructed to ensure that you will have the best possible ride. It also has a thick jaw system along with cushioned bushings and a pivoting head, all of which will combine to give you the most comfortable and quiet towing experience possible.
If you have a rotating pin box the B&W Companion OEM 5th Wheel Hitch # BWRVK3710 will be a good option for you. If you have any further questions please feel free to reach back out to me anytime and I will be more than happy to further assist you in your towing endeavors.
