Recommended B&W 5th Wheel Hitches for a 2023 Chevy Silverado 2500 or 3500 w/ the Factory Puck System
Question:
I have a 2023 Chevy Silverado 3500 with the puck package from the factory. What are my options for adding a B&W 5th wheel hitch to my truck?

We have a couple of different options for B&W 5th wheel hitches since your 2023 Chevy Silverado 3500 has the factory puck system. The Companion sets the standard for towing. The 1" thick dual jaws provide a more secure and comfortable ride than other hitches. This is because of the superior 360 degree contact between the Companion's jaws and your 5th wheel trailer's kingpin.
One of the main determining factors of selecting a 5th wheel hitch will be your Silverado's bed length. If you have a 6-3/4' bed you will want to use a sliding 5th wheel or a rotating pin box. Another concern will be capacity. I have listed the three options below:
Slider 20,000 lbs capacity - B&W Companion OEM 5th Wheel Hitch w/ Slider item # BWRVK3775
20,000 lbs capacity - B&W Companion OEM 5th Wheel Hitch item # BWRVK3710
25,000 lbs capacity - B&W Companion OEM 5th Wheel Hitch item # BWRVK3715
