2020 Chevy new bed length & auto slider

When I bought my 03 RAM new, it was a new body style and bed length. I remember being really worried about finding a hitch initially because no one made one. Within a few months, I could get pretty much any brand I wanted.

My advice, unless you are going on a trip soon, wait a couple months and let the companies catch up. You will have better choices then.

You don't say what year FW, but most later models have a nose designed to be towed with standard bed. I have towed with 6' 9" Ford beds for many years, not needing a slider hitch.

Do you have the pucks? Many non-sliding hitches can be adjusted ahead/back.

Start by installing or having installed the factory pucks.

The length of bed is not as important as the distance from rear axle center to back of cab. Not sure on 2020, but earlier GMs had the longest distance of the big 3 at about 43 inches. My Ford bed at 6'9"s is about 41"s, axle ctr to cab. My pin center, is at 40.5, never an issue. Locate your axle center, then measure to back of cab. With newer FW, likely round front cap corners, any measurement 40"s or more, should be good going/turning forward. In a severe backing situation, you need to be aware, just like backing a TT or boat.

Look at B&W hitches that have good adjust ability ahead/back.
