Need to identify fifth wheel hitch

sscheitel

BIL bought a 2015 GMC Sierra 3500 HD Denali dually and it came with rails for a fifth wheel hitch but not the companion. Looking to identify the proper hitch for the rails that are currently in the truck. See pic attached.

Also, can someone please provide an education on the "best" fifth wheel hitch available?

I know that in my case I own a travel trailer and I went with a ProPride hitch, said to be one of the safest and well designed hitch on the market. Is there a similar fifth wheel hitch? By similar I don't mean by design....I mean most innovative or safest.

The only way you are going to be able to view someone else's photos that were posted on Photobucket is if they decide to edit their post and re-post those photos using a different hosting site, or if they use the app I mentioned earlier.

On 2nd thought, you might be able to view them by clicking on "quote", copying the URL, and then pasting that URL into your browsers address bar. I do this often when a person has a problem with pictures and they don't show up. Just be sure to click the "back" button so you don't accidently quote their post when you don't want to.

Even with a short bed you may not need a slider hitch. We had one with a short bed, but DH never backed tightly and avoided situations in which he would need to.
