Question:

2024 Chevy 2500 long bed did not come with the factory pucks in the bed. I need a rail kit to use with my patriot 5th wheel hitch. I see a ton of kits on the site which one do you recommend? Also can I get the hardware by itself? I may re-use my old rails if I can get them cleaned up. Thanks.

As far as a fifth wheel rail kit for your 2024 Chevy Silverado 2500 Long Bed, I recommend the B&W Custom Installation Kit w/ Base Rails # BWRVK2505. I really like the B&W kits because they are a no-drill install, they are made in the USA, and the price is typically pretty competitive compared to other brands. This will work with any fifth wheel hitch made for the industry standard rails, including your Patriot hitch.

It is possible to get the hardware kit by itself with part # BWRVR2505. I will add that, for the price, it is usually worth it to get new rails. The powder coating is going to last a good long while, and they are going to look good in the bed of your new truck, as you can see in the picture below.
