Expert Reply:

HI Darryl; the Premier Series was a name used for a while on the Autoslide and other models when Demco switched to use industry standard bed rails. If you look further down on the # DM8550034 product page you will actually see premier series on an older overhead picture of the Autoslide. At this point the only thing it might indicate is that the hitch is older if it has that label on it.

If you're wanting to use the Autoslide with your 2021 Silverado 3500 with a 6-3/4' bed and the OEM prep package the correct part is the # DM79GV for the 18k or # DM29GV for the 21k model.

Thank you for that information Now what about the Ultra . Is that the newer or an older model as well ? Thank you

@Darryl I believe Ultra is newer but you don't see it listed on anything currently. They have had different series over time and I don't have the full history of them but they're all going to work the same way. Some of our parts and theirs still carry Premier and Ultra in the title like some of the rails and then some adapter plates.
