Question:

We recently purchased a Chevy Silverado 3500 HD standard bed that has a factory puck system installed. What would be the best fifth wheel hitch options to fit the puck system that have the auto slide feature and 20k weight grade?

Hey Michael, thanks for reaching out, and congrats on the new truck. Looks great!

For a 5th wheel hitch, I recommend the Demco Autoslide 5th Wheel Hitch w/ Slider # DM29GV. This comes with custom side plates which allow it to drop right in to the puck system on your Chevy 3500. It has the automatic slider and a 21K capacity, so it checks off both of those boxes as well.

Another great thing about the Demco hitch is the Jaw. It has a 360-degree jaw, and it also has a 3/4" thick steel locking bar which really beefs up the connection with the trailer. There is also a pivoting mechanism in the head so you get smooth turning. All made here in the USA too.

The video below goes over the autoslide hitch in more detail. Feel free to reach out if you have any other questions.

Thanks Jesse. So if we purchased the demco hitch package #DM29GV would we need to purchase the replacement side rails #DM99GV to install into the factory luck system?
