Hi Norman!
The only way to get your B&W Patriot 5th Wheel Trailer Hitch w/ Slider - Dual Jaw - 18,000 lbs # BWRVK3270 to work with the factory pucks on your 2024 Chevy Silverado 2500 is to use the Reese 5th Wheel Rail Adapter for Chevy/GMC OEM 5th Wheel Towing Prep Package # RP49FR. It is the only adapter that can be used with the Patriot slider.
The other option would be to upgrade to the B&W Companion OEM 5th Wheel Hitch w/ Slider for Chevy/GMC Towing Prep Package - Dual Jaw - 20K # BWRVK3775. If I'm being honest, this is probably the way I would go. Yes, it will be more expensive than getting the adapter, but I prefer to not use adapters whenever possible. The Companion will go right into those pucks and I think will end up being more secure. B&W hitches are the best ones on the market, so I think you could sell your Patriot pretty quickly and easily. But that's my opinion.
What kind of 5th wheel are you towing?

Hey Norman, how did things turn out with your Silverado 2500 and the B&W Patriot slider setup? Did you end up going with the Reese adapter or switch to the Companion slider instead? Your update could make it easier for the next person choosing between those options.
