The 28K BD5 air-ride TrailerSaver in the post-2020 GM puck config, for Silverado/Sierra HD owners hauling heavy fivers. The air-bag suspension is the smoothest tow you can buy, but the weight makes it a two-person job to install and the price is in a league of its own.
About This Product
The Hensley BD5-G20 TrailerSaver is a 28,000-pound air-ride fifth wheel hitch for GM trucks with the 2020+ factory OE puck system. It uses an air spring to absorb road impacts, delivering a smoother ride than rigid hitches.
The air spring compresses and rebounds to absorb bumps and rough roads before that motion transfers into your trailer. Less jarring means less wear on your RV and more comfort for everyone inside.
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 system is what sets TrailerSaver apart from conventional hitches.
