Expert Take
The 28K BD5 TrailerSaver in GM puck trim, covering both pre- and post-2020 Silverado/Sierra HD pucks and delivering the same chucking-free air-ride tow. Bulletproof build and unmatched ride, but the sheer mass and cost mean it only makes sense if you're hauling something big and want the best comfort money buys.
About This Product
The Hensley BD5-G TrailerSaver is a 28,000-pound air-ride fifth wheel hitch for GM trucks with the factory OE puck system. It uses an air spring to absorb road impacts, delivering a significantly smoother ride than rigid hitches.
The air spring works like suspension. It compresses and rebounds to absorb bumps, potholes, and rough roads before that motion transfers into your trailer. Less jarring means less wear on your RV.
The TrailerSaver drops directly into your GM bed pucks without a separate adapter. When you need an empty bed, lift the hitch out in seconds. The 28,000-pound rating handles the largest fifth wheel trailers.
Hensley makes this hitch in the USA with heavy-duty construction. The air-ride technology is what separates it from conventional hitches.
