Question:
Good Evening, I am purchasing a 2020 GMC 3500HD Denali 8ft bed. The truck has the gooseneck/5th wheel prep already done from factory. Is there an bed hitch option that allows me to use both a 5th wheel and a gooseneck? Or do I need to get a setup for both?

Hey Jon, thanks for reaching out!
You'll need a gooseneck hitch ball along with a 5th wheel hitch. The only way to get around that would be to either replace the pin box with one that has a gooseneck coupler, or to use an adapter like part # CAB-C5G which ultimately changes your standard pin box to a gooseneck connection.
For individual parts I recommend going with the PullRite OEX Super # PUL36ZR because of how easy it is to use, and then the B&W Gooseneck Ball Kit # BWGNXA2061 because of how reliable it is.

Hey Jon, how did things work out with the PullRite OEX Super hitch and the B&W gooseneck ball kit on your Denali? Your update could make it easier for others setting up both towing options on the same truck.
