This setup is ready to tow big fifth-wheel trailers without flinching. The hitch is rated for 20,000 lbs gross towing weight and a 5,000 lbs vertical load limit. Heavy-duty steel parts and 1" thick dual jaws wrap completely around the king pin for 360-degree contact, giving a tight, secure grip with less rattle than slide-bar designs. It’s the kind of solid connection that makes long highway stretches and steep grades feel steady and controlled.
Short-bed trucks get more breathing room thanks to the built-in slider that provides 12" of fore and aft travel. That extra space lets the trailer move back during slow-speed turns, reducing the chance of cab contact when backing into tight sites or navigating campground corners. You can tow with confidence knowing you have the clearance you need when maneuvering at low speeds.
Every bump and dip feels smoother with the fully articulating head that pivots both front-to-back and side-to-side. The head rides on durable polyurethane bushings that help quiet metal-on-metal contact and limit chucking. That means less noise in the cab and a more comfortable ride for truck and trailer alike on long hauls.
When it’s time to reclaim your truck bed, this hitch breaks down fast into two pieces. The base with the built-in slider stays put while you lift off the head by removing a few pins—no complicated disassembly required. The rail-free Turnoverball design leaves just a single hole in the bed when removed, so you can haul gear or use your truck without obstruction until it’s time to tow again.
The cam-action latching handle makes coupling and uncoupling straightforward—even on unlevel ground. If binding happens after unlatching, a small forward pull frees the jaws automatically. The handle locks closed with a pin and clip or an optional padlock (5/16" shackle diameter recommended) so your trailer stays secure when parked or in transit.
This fifth-wheel trailer hitch is not compatible with Sidewinder or Revolution king pins. Do not use any device that changes the pivot point of your trailer's king pin with this hitch.

Hello everybody, this is Jeff at etrailer.com. Today I'm gonna take a look at this B&W turnover ball gooseneck custom installation kit for the Chevrolet and GMC trucks. Now this is a custom fit part. It is designed to fit the 2001 to 2010 Chevrolet and GMC 2500 HD short and long bed trucks, also fits the 2007 to 2010 Chevrolet and GMC 3500 trucks. And on a custom fit part like this, I do like to recommend for you to go to our website and use the fit guide, put in your year and model vehicle and it'll show if this will work for your application. Now this custom fit rail kit'll let you install your B&W turnover ball gooseneck trailer hitch into your Chevrolet or GMC truck.
Now the hitch that bolts in the middle here, that part we do sell separately. It is part number BWGNRC959. And I did wanna pop up an insert, there is what that gooseneck hitch would look like. That's what bolts into the middle right here. Now we do also sell the complete kit which will include this custom installation kit and that gooseneck trailer hitch.
That part number would be BWGNRK1067. Now this installation kit is a sturdy steel construction, has a nice powder coat finish over it to resist corrosion. It will include all of the custom fit mounting brackets and the hardware to install, comes with the brackets you need. Now for this demonstration, I have mounted the side brackets to the cross rails here, just to show you what this looks like all assembled underneath your vehicle. Does come with a nice set of instructions that'll describe how it all goes together.
What's nice about this custom kit is this will bolt to existing holes that's in your vehicle's frame, so there's no drilling or welding required. And the other nice thing is the truck bed does not need to be removed for this to install. Weight capacity on this kit is gonna be limited to that of the vehicle you're putting it on. And this part is made in the USA. But that should do it for the review on the B&W turnover ball gooseneck custom installation kit for the Chevrolet and GMC trucks..

It is still the best 5th wheel hitch that Ive owned. Very minor maintenance required. Just a little white lithium grease on the swivel points and a Teflon plate instead of grease.

Very Good, just wish I had got without slider as never use this part. When I tried to use it it would the fifth wheel would hit to of tail gate. I have no problem at cab of truck when forward. E trailer is my first choice when I make a purchase for my truck.

Every thing has been working good. Seems to take a good jolt to get it to slide with the trailer attached. Still a great product

Youll want to make sure that the slider rails are lubricated. Also keep in mind that if the truck and trailer are at different angles and theres a lot of pressure placed on the sliding mechanism, it can bind.

A year later, and it still works the same. Slider still doesnt work. but havent needed it. One thing I have learned is to make sure the lug from the attachment is lubricated before placed into the receiver. After about 8 months of being in the bed, I tried to remove it. Whoah! That was a son of a gun. Finally got it to break free, and then it lifted out. both the lug of the companion hitch, and the receiver of the B&W are nicely powder coated. that powder coating locked together. Nothing patience and a pry bar couldnt fix. But I dont want a repeat. Over all, I may look at something easier for our next travel season.
