Question:
I have a BW Patriot rail style hitch. I just bought a new GMC 3500HD. Will my Patriot head fit on this Companion puck style base? Do you have a Patriot puck system base? Thanks

Helpful Expert Reply:
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 Companion. The Adapter Rails # C88KR will mount to the 4 outer mounting points in your bed and provide you with the mounts for your Patriot 5th wheel hitch. Do note this will raise the hitch 2-1/2" so you may need to lower your hitch head height to maintain the ride height on your trailer.
If you do not want the adapter and prefer a new hitch we do have the B&W Companion for your factory mounts in a 20K # BWRVK3710 or 25K # BWRVK3715.

I also have a 2022 Chevy that has a patriot sliding hitch and thinking of buying a new truck and would like to use my patriot hitch but the item you mentioned says not compatible with a patriot is that true.
