Question:
I have a 2020 Chevy Silverado trailboss with a 5 1/2 bed I was wondering if I need to order anything else for the installation for this auto slider hitch?

Expert Reply:
The Demco Autoslide 5th Wheel Trailer Hitch w/ Slider # DM8550040 is going to need some rails to mount to in the bed of your 2020 Chevy Silverado. For this I recommend the Demco Premier Series Above-Bed Base Rails and Custom Installation Kit for 5th Wheel Hitches # DM8552034-71.
I also recommend installing an in-bed 7-way connection point, like part # 50-97-410 so that you can plug in the 7-way from your trailer.
