Question:
How much weight will the Demco Autoslide add to my truck?
asked by: Arnold
Expert Reply:
The Demco Autoslide 5th Wheel Trailer Hitch # DM8550034 itself is going to weigh 273lbs. The Rail Kit # DM39FR is going to weight 70lbs so you are looking at a total of 343lbs added to your 2024 Chevrolet Silverado 2500.
I also recommend installing the Hopkins Endurance 5th Wheel/Gooseneck 90-Degree Wiring Harness # HM54FR which will add 3lbs. This will allow you to connect your trailer connector inside your bed rather than risking damage to the bumper connector stretching the wiring.
