The Adapter Rails for Curt 5th Wheel Hitch # C88KR are a confirmed fit for the puck system in your 2022 Chevy Silverado 2500 and will offer a compatible mounting point for your B&W Patriot 5th Wheel Trailer Hitch w/ Slider # BWRVK3270.

The adapter rails will drop right into your pucks and lock down. The Patriot will drop into the slots on the rails as secure using the pins and clips like it would on any other base rail.
