About This Product

The B&W Companion Slider for GM trucks solves the short bed clearance problem. When you turn tight, the hitch slides back to give your trailer room to swing without hitting the cab. Twelve inches of travel covers most situations. When you are driving straight, slide it forward so the weight sits over your axle properly.

This is the 20K version - 20,000 pounds towing, 5,000 pounds pin weight. Designed specifically for Chevy Silverado and GMC Sierra trucks with factory pucks and short beds. The puck spacing is GM-specific so this will not fit Ford or Ram trucks.

Same B&W Companion quality as their fixed hitches - articulating head, thick steel jaws, polyurethane bushings for quiet operation. The slider mechanism adds some complexity but B&W kept it reliable and low maintenance.

Installation takes longer than a fixed hitch because of the slide rails and mechanism. Still a DIY job for most people, just budget a full afternoon instead of a quick hour. Once installed, slide operation is simple - pull pins, slide, reset pins.

If you have a short bed GM truck and want to tow a fifth wheel, you need a slider. This is one of the best ones available. Made in USA by B&W with their standard warranty support.
