Fifth Wheel hitch

[BobWanderer]

I am nearing the process of selling Our T H and moving up to a Fiver.
My question relates to who makes a decent hitch for my T V ?
08 GMC 2500 HD D Max 4X4 long bed.

All the rigs were interested in weigh 14K or less and at least 2 are under 12.5K.

Don't need a slider since its a long bed.

Don't want something they have to "carve up" the truck to make it fit.
Being a mechanic all my life, I want it done right and preferably minimal cutting/drilling.

Dealer can do it, but I would prefer having a choice and hearing the "good/bad/ugly" of any particular models.

Thanks

I have a "Pullright Super 5th" with the "Super rail" mounting kit in my GMC3500. I actually ask for the high end Reese hitch but the RV dealer talked me into Pullright and after they demonstrated why I'm happy with it. The hitch and mounting kit can all be removed easily and I have a totally empty bed. though there are 4 holes where mounting pins go down into frame.

X2. I've had a hitch with rails in the bed and now the companion and much prefer the B&W configuration. You can't beat the quality, ease of operation, and simplicity of hooking/unhooking. Easily removable too.

If I ever pull with a pick-up truck again, a Trailer Saver will be in the bed. Trailer Saver

THANKS for the reply's
Got some ideas on what to check out, I would like to have things done before I buy the rig.

B&W. 1 hole in the bed and it bolts to the frame using existing holes.
100% usage of bed when hitch is removed.

Any of the common name brand hitches are good; Reese, B&W, Pullrite, Curt, etc.
If you want a flat bed (i.e. no rails in the bed) when you remove the hitch then look at the Reese Elite or the B&W Companion. Remove the hitch and the bed is left flat. Both are very good.
Leaving the rails in is not a particular problem as they are not very intrusive.

Although you don't hear a lot about them, my Hyjacker has been great for the last 8 years.
