Can The Andersen Ultimate 5th Wheel Hitch Fit In The Bed Of A 2023 GMC Sierra 2500
Question:
I have a 2023 GMC 2500HD DENALI. ITS THE 69 BED, NOT THE LONG BED. CAN OR DOES THE Anderson 5th wheel hitch fit?

Expert Reply:
The Andersen Ultimate Connection 5th Wheel Trailer Hitch System with Adapter # AM3200 would technically fit in the bed of your 2023 GMC Sierra 2500 if it had base rails, but with the bed not being a full 8' you might run into some turning clearance issues.
You would want to use a hitch with a slider base like the Curt A20 5th Wheel Trailer Hitch w/ S20 Slider # C55DR. This hitch can slide back 12" in the maneuvering position to allow for more clearance during tight turns so that you don't end up having the nose of the trailer make contact with the cab of the truck.
For either hitch you'll need base rails like the Curt Custom Fifth Wheel Installation Kit for Chevy/GMC Truck # C16429-204 to mount to.
If you have pucks in the bed of your truck then you would also need an adapter, like part # C88KR to go from the pucks to the rail-style attachment points on the hitches.
