Recommended 5th Wheel Rails for a 2013 GMC Sierra 3500

Question

Question:

Hi. Im getting a bit scared from the comments that theres none with exactly my model. And thinking the fit that I saw might be wrong and I need this by this week so need to clarify ASAP to see if I need to correct the order. I have a 2013 Sierra 3500 HD. When I the truck it just lets me 2013 Sierra so I assumed all products where standard for all models. But I dont see any comments on this installed on that truck which makes me believe it might be an issue with the fit app rather than this meeting my truck. Any way to confirm? Thank you! Alberto

Alberto, you're right the B&W Custom Installation Kit w/ Base Rails for 5th Wheel Trailer Hitches # BWRVK2503 is not going to work with your truck because they are only for the 1500s (check image).

Instead, you're going to need the B&W Custom Installation Kit w/ Base Rails for 5th Wheel Trailer Hitches # BWRVK2506 which is going to work with both the 2500 and 3500s.

Hey Alberto, how did things go with the B&W installation kit for your Sierra 3500 HD? Did the #2506 kit end up fitting the way you needed? Your update could make it easier for others with the same truck.
