How to Convert a Companion Slider to Work w/ a 2023 GMC Sierra
Question:
I have a BandW companion slider that was in my 2017 GMC . I have traded that truck for a 2023 GMC . Do they make an adaptor to fit my hitch into my 2023?

Congrats on the new truck! Companions don't work with adapters but they have something better if your new 2023 GMC Sierra has the prep package. You can replace your current base with the Replacement Slider Base for B&W Companion Slider 5th Wheel Trailer Hitch item # BWRVB3775. This will allow you to change over the head on your Companion. Doing this will give you the B&W Companion OEM 5th Wheel Hitch w/ Slider item # BWRVK3775.
If your new truck doesn't have the prep package you're going to need a new 5th wheel hitch and rails or a Turnover Ball System item # BWGNRK1020 and a different base for your Companion item # BWRVB3405.
If you have any additional questions please feel free to email me back directly. There are a few options if my educated guesses on what Companion you already have turn out to be incorrect. I didn't see any order information so I just assumed your old truck had the prep package.
