The issue some of the GM rail kit adapters have with the B and W Patriot Slider part # BWRVK3270 is that they don't provide the side to side slot dimensions needed since they typically only have two sets of slots to use. Whereas the Curt fifth wheel rail kit adapter part # C88KR on the other hand has all three slots so the Patriot can be used.
