We do have a base rail and install kit for your 2023 Chevy Silverado 2500 so you can mount the B&W Patriot 5th Wheel Trailer Hitch w/ Slider # BWRVK3270. The correct part for your truck is the following:

- Curt Custom Fifth Wheel Installation Kit for Chevy/GMC Truck # C16429-204

As the name says, this is a custom kit, which means you don't have to drill into the bed rails of your Silverado, which is not only good for your truck, but also shortens the install time.

The only other thing you'll need if you don't have one is a 5th wheel wiring harness, the Mighty Cord 5th Wheel/Gooseneck Wiring Harness # A10-7007.

The Patriot Slider part #BWRVK3270 might be a bit more noisy than the Companion slider part #BWRVK3400 due to the increased number of mounting points, 4 at the corners vs. 1 in the center. Probably not that noticeable and certainly not something…
