Helpful Expert Reply:
In order to use the B&W Companion Gooseneck-to-5th-Wheel Trailer Hitch Adapter part # BWRVK3500 or part # BWRVK3400 on a 2020 Chevrolet Silverado 3500 you have a few options depending on if the truck has the factory prep package. The factory prep package is composed of a singular center hole for the gooseneck hitch ball and then four pucks on the outer perimeter. If this is what you have then what you need is the Replacement Base for B&W Companion OEM 5th Wheel Trailer Hitch part # BWRVB3710 or part # BWRVB3775 which attaches to the pucks on the outer perimeter. There isn't a version that attaches to the singular center hole for the gooseneck hitch ball.
If you don't have the factory prep package (i.e. you don't have the four pucks on the outer perimeter) then you will need to install the B&W Turnoverball Underbed Gooseneck Trailer Hitch part # BWGNRK1020 to use the B&W Companion Gooseneck-to-5th-Wheel Trailer Hitch Adapter.
