Hello Cadam.

It sounds like you have an after market puck system in the bed of the 2015 Chevy 2500HD Duramax. Chevy did not have an OEM puck system for that year. Your puck system actually matches up with the 2011-2025 Ford puck system.

For a 2015 Chevy 2500HD Duramax 8 foot bed with the aftermarket puck system with hole spacing 13"X30" you want the B&W Companion OEM 5th-Wheel Hitch for Ford Super Duty Prep Package - Dual Jaw - 20,000 lbs # BWRVK3300.

@Cynthia Great question. For your 6 1/2 foot bed it is recommended that you have a slider hitch so you can get around those sharp turns without damaging the cab of your truck. For the 6 1/2 foot bed you want B&W Companion OEM 5th Wheel Trailer Hitch w Slider for Ford Towing Prep Package - Dual Jaw - 20K # BWRVK3370

You will have to go with a sliding hitch to allow the trailer to make tight turns. For a trailer 8 feet wide the only bed length that's going to allow 90 degree turns without a slider is a stationary hitch. That being said you have two options.…
