Hey Brad.

You'll be wanting the Curt Adapter # C88KR. This will fit into the OEM pucks of your '25 Chevy 2500HD and will allow you to reuse your B&W Patriot Sliding Hitch.

It works great and gives a little more height adjustment

Brad, I purchased this for my 2021 GMC 3500. I pull a 2019 Grand Design. Worked like a charm. It raised the hitch about 2 inches which I liked as well. You do have to put it together and torque the bolts, not bad. One bolt would not tighten, and customer service helped me out by sending me a new one. I like the fact I can remove it completely and not have rails left in the bed. Works great and even fit my older reese hitch

The adapter works great. I had a rail system before. I bought a new truck with the pick system and was able to transfer my hitch to the adapter with no problem.

This adapter does not work for the Patriot Sliding hitch. Is there a different option?

@NicoleK you're right, it does not have enough clearance for a B&W Patriot Slider. Check out the Demco 5th Wheel Rail Adapter for Ford OEM 5th Wheel Towing Prep Package # DM6175. There's multiple photos of B&W Patriots installed on this rail adapter system.

You will have to go with a sliding hitch to allow the trailer to make tight turns. For a trailer 8 feet wide the only bed length that's going to allow 90 degree turns without a slider is a stationary hitch. That being said you have two options.…

That's a very good question, we tend to be extra cautious and say to use 10 gauge wire because that would be more than enough. When you get into longer trailers that will end up using a lot of wire the heavier gauge wire becomes more necessary.…
