Question:
Hello can you tell me if I need the slider on the 5th wheel for a 2025 Chevy Silverado 2500 with the 6 foot 9 inch bed or would I need one without the slider? Also what company do you ship this with? I live in an apartment and delivery might be tricky. Thank you

Hi Micah,
Since your 2025 Chevy Silverado 2500 with the puck system has a bed less than 8 feet, you will need the B&W Companion OEM 5th Wheel Hitch w/ Slider for Chevy/GMC Towing Prep Package # BWRVK3775.
Having the slider is the only way to help ensure your trailer doesn't smash into the cab of your very nice truck if you take a turn too tight. I know there are people who have used the fixed # BWRVK3710 in shorter beds, but I can't recommend doing that.
As for shipping, we use UPS, though during checkout you can enter a shipping address different than your billing address if you'd like.
