Features to know about

Built for Confident Towing: 20,000 lbs GTW and 5,000 lbs Vertical Load Limit

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.

Tight Turns Made Easy: Built-In Slider with 12" Travel

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.

Smoother, Quieter Ride: Dual Pivot Head and Polyurethane Bushings

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.

Quick Setup, Easy Removal: Two-Piece Design with Turnoverball System

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.

Simple Hookup Every Time: Cam-Action Handle for Non-Binding Release

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.

Video Transcript for B and W Companion Sliding 5th Wheel Hitch w/ Turnoverball for Chevy/GMC Spec Review

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 surpassed my expectations with the quality of this hitch and shipping was crazy fast definitely impressed

This is a great item for those who want a clean flat bed when not towing a 5th wheel or goose neck trailer. It took about 4 hours to install the below bed and above bed parts by my son, grandson, and me(I supervised). We pretty much followed the online video except we did not loosen the exhaust flange nuts (we didn't need to). When it came to bolting the center piece to the cross members, we had one person standing in the bed with a rope holding the piece up through the hole while the other person installed the bolts in it. Everything lined up well when things were squared up. we did not have any problems with the installation.

Product has worked fine. Ive towed over 5,000 miles this year with no issues whatsoever.

by:
The best 5th wheel I have ever owned. It is very easy and quiet to slide and not a lot of noise going down the highway even if the road is a little rough. It is a little heavy but my cherry picker hoist makes it an easy job if I need to remove it. I did make a rolling stand for moving it around. Also I like no rails in the bed when it is removed.

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.

I’m still very impressed with this hitch no problems and no slop

by:
Fantastic product! Worked great. Just heavy definitely need 2 people to install it.
by:
Outstanding product! Purchased for a 2020 Dodge Ram 2500 w/6.4L Hemi. It took my wife & I about 8 hours to install & everything went together nicely. ~2 hour delay because I wasn’t paying attention & installed the base backwards & had to build a gantry to lift it out. I definitely recommend greasing the round hitch receiver in the bed floor & the square hitch in the base before installing to make removal easier. I recommend the product & looking forward to years of goose neck & 5th wheel hitch use.
by:
Extremely easy install. You will need a torque wrench that’ll go up to 110 ft/lbs. glad I did my research and went with the B&w gooseneck hitch in anticipation of getting this 5th wheel companion hitch at a later time.

Too heavy for one person to install unless you did what I had to do (alone without any help). Removed the bolt from the tailgate end of the roller tubes, pulled the tubes out and separated the upper assemble from the lower bed contact assembly. Doing that allowed me to lift each piece into the bed without tracking down a neighbor.
by:

Works great. Love the slide feature. Let's me move the clack back so I can fuel up the generator without needing to unhook. Coach just floates behind truck with this hitch. Super simple to hookup and unhook as well.
by:
Fast shipping and the box was in perfect condition. I appreciate the amazing customer service. They were friendly and had a good attitude when I called with questions. I look forward to shopping with them in the future. The shipping company called ahead of time and scheduled the delivery because it was such a large item they were friendly and was within their timeframe. Thank you etrailer.com I appreciate it.
by:
Really like this unit with the slide option. With the under the bed option it is also nice that I can remove it and have full bed access. The slide is great as maneuvering is improved significantly without worry of hitting your cab. Assembly is simple. It is heavy so be prepared when installing to have some help but can be handled pretty easily.

Best one out there by far.

Excellent experience all the way around! From customer service to sales all the way to will call. Product was easy to install and works excellent.
by:
This hitch works extremely well. The slide is nice if you get into any tight cornering situations. The hitch top and base separate making it a bit easier to mount and unmount.The lock washer used with the mounting bolt that draws up against the gooseneck pin broke on the 2nd use. I had 2 different torque wrenches set to 79 lbs that I tested the bolt with. Unsure why it broke. But overall we love this hitch and we pull a 38f 5ver without issue. Very smooth ride.

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.

by:
2013 Ford F-150
Just started 5th wheel camping and wanted a hitch that when removed left my truck box bare. I also talked to alot of people who talked about clunking and noise from their hitch while towing. I bought a 2013 32' Coachman which is pushing my 2009 F150 to its max. When pulling with this hitch it feels like the truck and trailer are one unit. No noise and no slop between the two units. I made a lifting pin that goes into the jaws and lifts it out with a comealong hooked to a rafter support in my garage. I then put it onto a wheel cart I made. No heavy lifting and one person can do it all. I've had one teflon foot fall of the hitch and the service was amazing no questions, no pictures, and no waiting. New piece was sent right away. Anyone who tows now and has looked at the hit are very impressed. I would definitly recomend this hitch to everyone.

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

by:
I've had this for about a year. Only have about 2,000 miles of use with a 13,000 lbs 5th wheel travel trailer.
It is still like new. Jaws are tight, no rattles with or without the trailer attached.
I use a nylon guide plate, to keep things clean.

The only issue is the slider will not unlatch from the locked position with the trailer attached.
Unlatch and slides fine when not loaded.
Just haven't made the time to talk to B&W about this.
The base is a heavy bugger, and fits snug in the receptical. I've lifted it in and out myself, but not a smart idea.

Overall I would buy again. For our use, where we need the whole bed the majority of time it is an easy solution.

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.

This this is heavy and strong. The only thing that did not meet my expectation is the draw down bolt prevents the hitch from being removed by simply opening the gooseneck locking pin. But the drawdown bolt keeps this hitch quite in the bed and tight, no rattling when unloaded! Great product and customer support!

Excellent hitch. If your truck doesn't come with factory 5th wheel hitch prep, the combination of the turnover ball and this hitch works like a charm. Easy to connect to truck and disconnect. Towed for hundreds of miles. Highly recommend.

  • Will B&W Companion Work With Blue Ox Gooseneck on 2007 GMC Sierra 2500?
    The B&W Companion Gooseneck-to-5th-Wheel Trailer Hitch Adapter # BWRVK3500 would not work with a Blue Ox gooseneck on your 2007 GMC Sierra 2500. In order to use the Companion you would need to install the Custom Underbed Installation Kit for B&W Companion 5th Wheel Trailer Hitches # BWGNRK1067-5W. This install kit also serves as a gooseneck hitch and is a confirmed fit for your '07 Sierra New Body Style. I've added links to video reviews and installs of both parts for you to check out.

    The new Rhino Box from Lippert currently has no replacements so you won't be able to swap out this pin box with a Sidewinder to add more turning clearance.

  • 5th Wheel Hitch for Gooseneck Ball in 2005 Ram 2500 Short Bed
    Hi Mike; I noticed you were looking at a B&W 5th wheel hitch. Is your gooseneck hitch the B&W Turnoverball? The hole for the ball would be square if it is. If so, you can use the B&W Companion # BWRVK3400-5W. However, this is a heavy sucker so not exactly the most manageable for one person. The Andersen Aluminum Ultimate 5th Wheel Connection 2 Gooseneck # 3220 will also work (works with any brand gooseneck hitch). This hitch is incredibly light with the base at 35 lbs so that sounds more...

The next step is to choose which of the 3 height settings on your 5th wheel hitch, 17", 18" or 19", gives you the most level ride. Simply measure from the ground to the head unit...

    Hello Melissa; the OEM prep package is not something we offer. If you really want the underbed puck system with the gooseneck hitch you will need to get it from the Mopar parts site or through a local dealer. Since you're planning on using a B&W Companion, I recommend the B&W Turnoverball Underbed Gooseneck Trailer Hitch # BWGNRK1320 instead. The B&W Turnoverball is a gooseneck hitch but also acts as the mounting point for the Companion. This will also mean less holes in the bed of the...

Instead of having bed rails in the bed of your truck you just have the gooseneck hitch ball receiver and safety chain loops as you can see in the attached photo.

  • Recommendation for a 2014 Ram 2500 Short Bed To Navigate Tight Campground Turns
    I can help you navigate those tight turns in your 2014 Ram 2500. Since the Convert-A-Ball Cushioned 5th-Wheel-to-Gooseneck Adapter # CAB-C5GX1216 that you referenced does not move the pivot point further back you really do not gain much clearance for tight turns with a short bed truck. Also, if you use an offset adapter like this you can not use an additional offset adapter like the B and W extender you referenced. This would cause too much leverage on the trailer.

  • How to Determine Clearance for Gooseneck Hitch on 2016 Dodge Ram 2500
    You need to use the following calculation to find if you have enough clearance: (A + B) - C = Clearance A = Distance from the gooseneck ball to the truck cab B = Offset used C = Width of the nose of the trailer divided by 2. So your A is 35" and C is 48" which means right now Clearance = -13". You really want A to be 4" more than C so in this case you need a 17" offset. Even if you combine an offset ball with an offset adapter you aren't going to be able to get to 17" or even 13". The...
