Will the B&W Patriot Slider 5th Wheel Hitch Work On a 2020 GMC Sierra 2500 with Pucks
Question:
Can the Patriot BWRVK3270 5th wheel hitch be adapted to use with a 2020 GMC Sierra 2500 puck system? Thanks

Expert Reply:
The B&W Patriot Slider 5th Wheel Hitch cannot be adapted to be used with the puck system on a 2020 GMC Sierra 2500. The best option would be to simply use the correct B&W 5th Wheel Hitch which is the Companion part # BWRVK3775 for sliding or part # BWRVK3715 for fixed. If you already have a Patriot then I recommend selling to recoup some of your cash.
There is an issue with the slider base that makes contact with the adapters.
