Thanks - it's the 8' bed / LWB. I thought I did not need a slider with the LWB.

You can't go wrong with B&W. And you can take that to the bank.

Mark, I also have a 310GK. TV is a 2022 GMC 3500 standard bed that measures 6’10” with a pullrite auto slider. I would like to replace the pullrite with the 20K B&W Companion hitch for the puck system. We pretty much have the same setup. Have you been in a backing up situation where you wished you had the slider or does the fixed hitch do everything you want it to. Thanks

The fixed hitch does everything I want, no issues, but I'm pretty careful in tight spots.

Gordon,
I have that same hitch you are referring to, my truck is a 2020 chevy 3500 with the same size bed. I can almost turn 90 degrees without any worries.Dan, Marcia, Emilee, Tanner, Zac

Mark and Dan. Thanks for the reply. That’s what I wanted to hear. I have not made a 90 degree turn yet.

You can order the under bed rails from etrailer for a Reese Elite series hitch, and have the puck system in your Chevy (I did it on my 2013 anyway). It will be the Ford puck spacing tho. I then bought a Hensley BD5 fiver hitch. It does move quite a lot when towing, isolating the truck from the trailer. I’ve never towed with a fixed hitch, so I can’t say if it was worth it, but I can say that I don’t feel any shock from the trailer when it hits bumps. If not for feeling the truck hit a bump, I would never know the trailer did. I have the MorRyde pin box, so that probably helps some as well.

We have had the Air-Safe hitch for 7 years now and have been happy with it. Tey do make them in slider versions. They have 4 big air bags and 2 shocks. These allow the head to move in all directions to take out up to 95% of the chucking and bucking. You might want to look at the comfort ride hitch. It uses air cells that work very well and no air lines to deal with.Marcy & Gary

I have the super glide hitch and loved it when I had my short bed, my new set up it’s a non issue. That said, keep in mind if you purchase a different 5r someday there might be the chance you have to purchase a new capture plate.
