We do have the correct B&W Patriot 5th wheel hitch for your 2023 Chevy Silverado 2500 without the OEM puck system, so the hitch will sit directly on base rails. I'll go ahead and list the part numbers for the Patriot hitch, with the right one depending on if you have an 8 foot long bed or a 6-3/4 foot standard/short bed:

- Long Bed (8 ft): B&W Patriot 5th Wheel Trailer Hitch # BWRVK3255

- Standard/Short Bed (6-3/4 ft): B&W Patriot 5th Wheel Trailer Hitch w/ Slider # BWRVK3270

The sliding hitch is needed to ensure you can make tight turns with a short bed and not have your trailer crash into your cab. Then if you don't have bed rails to mount the hitch, the correct fit for your '23 Silverado 2500 is the Custom Fifth Wheel Installation Kit # C16429-204.

That kit does not require any drilling into your Chevy's frame in order to install, which is not only great for your truck but saves a lot of time during the install process. And finally, for a 5th wheel wiring harness, what you'll need for your Chevy is the 5th Wheel/Gooseneck Custom Wiring Harness # C53CR.
