Question:
I have a BandW Patriot in my 2016 F250 on in-bed rails. I’m buying a 2024 GMC with factory puck system. What is the adaptor base I need to accommodate the slider? Thanks in advance!

Expert Reply:
The B&W Patriot # BWRVK3270 unfortunately doesn't have a puck compatible base available and the adapters available for your new truck's puck system aren't compatible with the slider base of the hitch. If your Sierra has a long bed and you no longer need the sliding base then you could switch to the fixed base # BWRVB3255 and use the Curt Adapter Rails # C88KR.
If your Sierra has a short bed then you'd need to switch out the hitch completely to the Companion # BWRVK3775. This comes with a sliding base and puck feet designed to mount to the spacing of your Sierra's puck system.
