Hey Jeff, for a 2019 Chevy Silverado 2500 without the OEM underbed rail kit I would go with the Demco Hijacker Autoslide fifth wheel hitch part # DM43SV for a hitch that will automatically slide back as your customer makes tight turns so they'd never have to get out and operate a slider when they get into an area that requires tight turns. This also comes with an underbed style rail kit which means the bed will be less obstructed when you aren't towing. We also have a version that uses the standard above bed rails to with the part # DM73QV if they prefer that. This would be more ideal if they thought they would use a different hitch in the future since these are the industry standard type rails.

If they prefer a manual slider and also above bed rails the Curt A25 kit part # C82PV would be a solid option that's built well and also has a really nice jaw design that will hold the king pin tight for minimal noise and chucking. This also is a bit more budget friendly while still also really nice.

Hey Jeff, how did things go with the fifth wheel hitch setup for your Silverado 2500? Did the Demco Autoslide end up being the right fit for your customer’s towing needs? Your update could make it easier for others working with similar trucks.
