Expert Reply:

The B&W Patriot Sliding 5th Wheel Hitch, part # BWRVK3270 is NOT compatible with the Reese # RP30156 puck adapter, you'll want to use the Demco # DM6175, which is compatible.

If you don't have a 7-way in your truck bed, you can install one using part # 50-97-410-010.

I have a new 2024 Chevy 3500 with the OEM puck System. I also have a 18k Patriot fifth wheel slider. I'm looking for an adaptor rail that will be compatible so that I can use my existing hitch. Any advice on this?

@Shawn Unfortunately, we don't offer a puck adapter that would work with a sliding B&W Patriot 5th wheel hitch. If you had the Companion or a fixed Patriot hitch, we have an adapter that would work, but it's not compatible with the sliding base the Patriot uses. I wish we had a solution that would work for you.

Answer 1

No, sorry you can't. The head of the B&W Patriot Slider item #BWRVK3270 is different then the Companion and not compatible. Also none of the puck system adapters that provide an industry standard base are compatible with the Patriot because…

Hey Tom, The Demco 5th Wheel Rail Adapter for Chevy/GMC OEM 5th Wheel Towing Prep Package #DM6194 would fit your 2019 GMC Sierra 2500's puck system, but the design of the B&W Patriot Slider #BWRVK3270 will prevent it from being able to be…

Hello Jeff, I looked up Ford's SKU LC3Z19F503A, I see that it is the Gooseneck ball kit for your OEM Prep Package (Puck System). I do have a B&W Hitch that is going to sit in the Pucks (not on the Gooseball, please refer to image I attached)…

Answer 4

If by standard bed you mean 6-3/4' then it is recommended to use a sliding hitch. There's no shortage of people who will tell you you don't need one. However, if you want to safely make tight turns and not have to worry about bashing the…

Answer 5

Yes, you do. Since your 2024 Chevrolet Silverado 2500 has the shorter 6-3/4' bed you will need to use a sliding 5th wheel hitch to avoid running into your rear bumper or smashing you back window when turning. I recommend the B&W Companion OEM…

Answer 6

Yes, the gooseneck hitch balls for the factory prep packages are the same for Ram and Ford. If you need a new hitch ball for either of these systems than you can use the Curt Pop-In Ball part #C60601 or the Reese Pop-In Ball part #RP19311.

I do have a way you can use your B&W Patriot 5th Wheel Trailer Hitch #BWRVK3255 on your 2023 GMC Sierra 3500HD with the factory puck/prep in bed hitch system. The Patriot Head #BWRVC3200 is only compatible with the Patriot line and not the…

Answer 8

Hi Bob; is your Patriot the slider #BWRVK3270 you looked at or the fixed #BWRVK3255? I know you said fixed mount hitch but since you looked at the slider I want to be sure. If it is the fixed hitch you can use the Adapter Rails for Curt 5th Wheel…

B&W offers a replacement slider unit for the Patriot 5th wheel hitch, part #BWRVB3270. You'd simply remove the hitch head from the current stationary model and install it on the slider. This being said, the problem comes in when you try to…

Answer 11

You can use a fixed hitch like the B&W Companion OEM 5th Wheel Hitch for Chevy/GMC Towing Prep Package #BWRVK3710 with your standard bed GMC Sierra, but you'd need to use a rotating pin box along with it like #RP34FR due to the limited…

Answer 12

Since you're talking about an offset ball and don't want a slider it sounds like you have the 2024 Sierra 3500 short bed. Even with the offset you aren't going to be able to make a full 90 degree turn. I'm also not sure what your…
