Recommended Rail Kit for Installing a Hijacker FWH-24PA in a 2021 Chev Silverado 1500
Updated 02/14/2023 | Published 02/13/2023
Question:
Hi there. I am looking for mounting brackets and hardware to mount a FWH-24PA 5th wheel rails and hitch into a 2021 GMC 1500. Is there still such a thing available? I know it is an old unit but I would like to continue to use it in my new truck.

Expert Reply:
There were a couple of bases available for the Demco FWH-24P 5th wheel hitch. If you have the one that attaches to industry standard rails, the UL base, you will want the Demco Above-Bed Base Rails and Custom Installation Kit item # DM8552034-71.
If yours has the SL base, which required vertical rails, then there isn't a way to reuse this hitch on your 2021 GMC Sierra 1500. You'll need to upgrade to a newer hitch capable of being mounted to industry standard rails. The Demco Premier Series Ultra Slide 5th Wheel Trailer Hitch w/ Slider item # DM6076P-UL-16K is a comparable option.
