Can B&W Patriot Be Used on 2023 Chevy Silverado 2500 Short Bed with OEM Puck System
Question:
I bought a Chevrolet 2500 HD with 6 foot bed and OEM 5th wheel prep package. Are there rail adapters that fit the 18K Patriot hitch which I used in my previous Chevy without OEM prep and compatible with the OEM prep?

Expert Reply:
There are adapters that fit the OEM put system on your 2023 Chevy Silverado 2500 but they, unfortunately, aren't compatible with the 18K Patriot Slider # BWRVK3270 so we need to look into a new hitch system for you.
The Patriot is a great hitch and since you're wanting to still used that style I recommend replacing it with the 20K Companion # BWRVK3775 which mounts directly to the puck system on your truck. The operation will essentially be the same as your Patriot, but there are some differences in how the Patriot and Companion connect the head which is why you have to get a whole new hitch.
