B and W recommends a 10 inch lube plate with their Companion hitches like the part # BWRVK3715 that you referenced. For that we have the Reese Lube plate part # RP83002 which would work really well.

Yes, you do. Since your 2024 Chevrolet Silverado 2500 has the shorter 6-3/4' bed you will need to use a sliding 5th wheel hitch to avoid running into your rear bumper or smashing you back window when turning. I recommend the B&W Companion OEM…

Hey Jay. It sounds like you are on the right track here because a sidewinder pin box will be your only option for pulling your 5th wheel since you have a short bed truck with the Rambox. That said, you are right that the Reese Sidewinder cannot be…
