GM Factory 5th Wheel Prep
I finally received my Chevrolet 3500 Dually last week after ordering it 3 1/2 months ago. GM finally came out with the factory 5th wheel puck system so I ordered it with the truck. I haven't seen any...

Nice truck. It figures though that Gm would have to do something different as far as puck spacing than Ford or Ram. Nothing like making it hard on the hitch manufacturers.
Exactly. Why do the three have different puck placement dimensions. it's not as if Ram, Ford or Chevy make their own hitches. They all use aftermarket. Stupid and makes it much more convoluted for the hitch builders and the end user RV'er.
You would think it would be a standard.
I was under my RAM 3500 looking at how the mounts are placed, they are directly over the frame rails. I don't know how Ford and GM puck mounts are secured, maybe that is why B&W offers a 24K hitch for the RAM and not the GM or Fords.
RAM B&W is 25k towing and 6,250# pin.
There must something about the Ford and GM's puck system that B&W feels is not strong enough to give them 25k also. Same exact mounting and hitch head system.
