Question:
I have a FWH 24PA Hijacker double pivot 5th wheel hitch, with the Slide Rail system. Is there any way to adapt this into my new 2025 GMC 2500HD Puck system?

Hi Kory; your old Hijacker there uses the SL series rails. Unfortunately, there is no way to adapt it to the OEM prep package in any modern truck. You will need a new 5th wheel hitch that mounts using your 2025 GMC Sierra 2500 puck system. A hitch like the B&W Companion OEM 5th Wheel Hitch for Chevy/GMC Towing Prep Package # BWRVK3710 will be a nice upgrade over what you have now.
