The Replacement Slider Base for B&W Companion Slider 5th Wheel Trailer Hitch - 20,000 lbs # BWRVB3405 you have is not compatible with Ford's Gooseneck system or 5th Wheel system.

Answer 6

Hey Vernon, so the puck systems of the Ram and Chevy trucks are different so you wouldn't be able to use your current B and W Companion slider as-is in the bed of your 2024 Chevy Silverado 3500. So if you wanted to reuse the head from your…
