5th Wheel Trailer Hitch For 2021 GMC 2500HD With Factory Puck System
Question:
What is my best option for going from a fifth wheel Patriot Slider hitch on my 2015 GMC 2500HD to use the same hitch on a 2021 GMC 2500HD with the factory puck system? Thanks

I do have a solution for you, however, the Patriot # BWRVK3270 is not compatible with your 2021 GMC 2500HD with the factory puck system due to the slider mechanism. There is currently no adapter or way to make this hitch work with your vehicle. You will need to get a new 5th wheel hitch that is compatible with the factory puck system.
If your GMC has the 8' bed, then I recommend Demco Hijacker Premier Series Double Pivot 5th Wheel Trailer Hitch # DM6076P-16K with adapter # DM6333. This hitch and adapter will fit onto your factory puck system and has a gross towing weight of 21,000lbs with vertical load limit of 5,250lbs. If your GMC has the 6-3/4' bed, then use the Demco Hijacker Premier Series Ultra Slide 5th Wheel Trailer Hitch w/ Slider # DM6076P-UL-21K and the same adapter # DM6333. This setup also has a gross towing weight of 21,000lbs with vertical load limit of 5,250lbs.
I have attached demonstration videos for these products.
