Question:
Just upgraded to a 2022 Chevy Silverado 3500 with the Duramax 6.6L turbo-diesel V8 with the long bed and bed pucks and am looking for the heaviest duty 5th wheel hitch I can get my hands on. According to the dealer this is rated up to 35,500 pounds when towing a 5th wheel or gooseneck. Granted, I wont ever tow that much, but I want the option if I can. My current camper weighs just under 22,000 pounds loaded, but it is getting older and may upgrade that as well in the next couple years. What do you guys have available for me?

If you are looking for the most heavy duty 5th wheel hitch option for your new 2022 Chevy Silverado 3500 with the long bed and factory puck system, you will want the Curt PowerRide # C36WR. Though not rated up to the max capacity of your truck, it is still rated up to 30,000 pounds and will be the newest and heaviest option we have available currently. This will also lock right into your factory pucks making the install nice and easy.
