asked by: Cletus H
Expert Reply:
The B&W Patriot 5th wheel hitch you'd looked at, part # BWRVK3255 isn't compatible with any of the puck adapters that would be needed to make the hitch work with the pucks in a 2022 Chevy Silverado.
Both Demco and Curt offer adapters, but Demco has stated that their # DM6333 adapter won't work with the Patriot. Curt offers the # C88KR adapter, but since the hitch and adapter haven't been tested together, neither B&W nor Curt will confirm their compatibility.
Your best bet would be to go with a hitch that's out-of-the-box compatible with your pucks.
The top of the line option would be the B&W Companion # BWRVK3775 sliding model for short bed trucks or # BWRVK3710 for long bed models. Either hitch would drop right into the existing tow package pucks in your truck bed, after an initial adjustment.
