Fifth wheel hitch adapters

I have a new Chevy ordered to replace my current 2012 . I ordered it with the 5th wheel prep package. My current hitch is a Husky. I canโ€™t seem to find a way to move this hitch to the new truck. I cantโ€™t seem to find rails that go with the GM puck system.
Has anyone On here already done this?
I see Curt and B&W have hitches that drop right in the 2020 trucks. I suspect Reese may also offer one. Huskies website seems to be undergoing a make over and canโ€™t seem to be able to navigate the site very well.

While your Husky may be a good hitch, I'd not make due by adapting to the puck system. Sell the Husky, buy the B&W for GM OEM puck system. The B&W for your app/non-slider, is not heavy at all. Two pieces 75-80 lbs each, easy in/easy out. You will be glad you spent the difference, first time you drop it in the pucks.

I think Demco make an adapter plate for puck system so if your current hitch is rail mounted, can use this plate as a go-between thus still keep/use current hitch.

We bought a new B&W Patriot when we got new coach in '17. Rail mounted. Then bought a new truck in '18 w/o puck system (off lot purchase). Tho still have old Reese, you can either sell the Husky or IMO get a B&W puck hitch. Yes the B&W's are a heavy hitch, but IMO it's worth it



I watched a video on the B&W and it is 160 lbs if memory serves me....but my husky is also 160 lbs. so the weight would be a wash. I liked the jaw system on the B&W. Seemed like it might wrap tighter around the pin.

Ok tried Husky โ€˜s website again and I think I found what I need to move the hitch to the new truck. About $320 for 4 adapters that lick to the Chevy under bed pucks.
Now I just need to decide if I want to reuse the old hitch or move to new brand that drops in with a cleaner installation and fewer connection points.
