Help with hitch decision
I just ordered a new Grand Design Reflection 318RST 5th wheel (GVWR 13,995) and plan to buy a 2016 GMC 3500 Duramax truck next. The truck has a 6.5' bed. I've spent a week reading up on hitches on...

GM is really behind the competition on the 5th wheel prep package. Ram and Ford have had this for what, 2 years now ? Not that one can't get the underbed mount installed aftermarket, but when you are spending $50,000 + seems a little stupid to have to go out and spend another $1000 or so for what the competition is offering for $400 with a factory warranty to boot.
Maybe GM is trying to figure out a solution that will work on the assembly line with their Infamous Bed Bump on some of their trucks keeping the bed from being flat.
The factory prep is nice but I have known more than a few Super Duty owners opt not to get the factory package and go with a B&W turnover ball. One friend of mine has a Turnover Ball goose neck underbed hitch and Reese Fifth Wheel above the bed rails... I kind of scratch my head on that one...
Thanks!
