I Need A Fifth Wheel Hitch And Rail Kit For 2024 Chevy Silverado 2500HD with 6-3/4 Bed
Question:
I need a fifth wheel hitch for my 2024 Chevy Silverado 2500HD. My RV is a 2011 Keystone Cougar 291RLS My truck does not have the puck system or gooseneck ball. My truck has a 6 10 bed. I will also need the rail system designed for my truck. Thank you

With this truck bed configuration (6-3/4) on your 2024 Silverado 2500, you'll need a slider hitch so that you can make turns properly without the trailer making contact with your truck. I recommend the B&W Patriot # BWRVK3270 due to it's well-known durability and excellent quality, and it's made in USA.
For the rail kit, I would go with B&W Custom Installation Kit w/ Base Rails # BWRVK2505 because they are great quality and USA made, but also because they are Custom made for your vehicle, meaning no drilling required and an easier install.

Thanks Andrew. The B & W seems like a great product. What are the advantages of the Patriot compared with the Companion hitch?
