Features to know about
Full Bed Use Without Losing Towing Strength: Underbed Mount Design
This custom underbed installation kit keeps the entire bed open when you’re not towing. The setup installs beneath the bed and only requires a single 4" diameter opening for the hitch ball, so you still have a clean, usable bed surface. When you’re ready to haul, the included 2-5/16" Turnoverball pops into place, giving you a secure connection rated for 30,000 lbs gross towing weight and 7,500 lbs vertical load. When the ball is turned over and stowed, you’ve got full bed access again without bulky rails in the way.
Two Hitches in One: Quickly Switch Between Gooseneck and Fifth Wheel
The built-in Turnoverball gooseneck hitch doubles as the base for a B&W Companion fifth-wheel hitch, letting you switch between gooseneck and fifth-wheel towing without extra drilling or new hardware. The same center ball hole serves as the mounting point for either setup—just drop in the Companion’s post or the gooseneck ball and lock it with the handle. It’s an easy way to tow gooseneck trailers one weekend and a fifth-wheel the next using the same strong, dependable foundation.
No Welding or Frame Drilling: Custom Brackets Use Existing Frame Holes
The custom mounting brackets bolt to existing holes in the frame, so there’s no need for welding or frame drilling. You only drill for the 4" bed opening and safety chain loops. The handle is positioned near the driver-side wheel well so you can easily release or lock the hitch pin from outside the truck. All components are made from powder-coated steel for corrosion resistance and long-term durability, giving you a solid and lasting underbed towing setup.

All in all everything went together pretty well and I did the install single handed. Couple whacks with a mallet and a few choice %$#@ and a ^%$@!, and it went together exactly as described. Another pair of hands would certainly have helped with the center section but only a bit. Missing one flat and one lock washer- 2 washers away from 5 stars. Can't really complain too much about that so I'm a satisfied customer!
Thank you etrailer

Thanks for all the information on such a big and important purchase. Great photos and even better videos!
At first I looked for a shop to install my hitch, but after watching your videos I decided to go for it myself. If you read the directions carefully and have average wrenching skills the B & W underbed install for gooseneck was pretty straightforward.
It took perhaps 4 hours for me to install. Now I KNOW it was installed correctly and understand the hitch system to a t. Great product. Hooked up to my 15,000 lb fifth wheel and towed with ease using the Companion 5th wheel set up that is designed to be used with the underbed gooseneck.
Everything was delivered on time and in great condition and the quality of the B&W is outstanding. Thank you!

This is my 2nd B&W underbed 5th wheel/gooseneck kit. Both have installed with reasonable ease, especially considering how many parts under the bed can interfere. No cutting or modifying to fit required. All hardware is provided and everything is heavy duty. This went on a 2015 F250 gas. If I get another truck I will get another B&W kit.

As always the product came quickly. I bought a B and W gooseneck hitch. My son and I installed it in my 2015 F-250 in about 2 hrs. It was a cake walk. Everything fit together great and extremely easy. Looking forward to using it to pull our horse trailer to go camping. Looks like I'll be buying from etrailer some more.

This item was delivered On time and in great condition...the installation instructions were easy to follow and went in as stated. I was hesitant to saw a 4 in h hole in the bed of the truck thinking it might be off but...it fit exactly where the hole was. Sweet! I just can't say more a out how happy we are with this. This is my second item delivered from etrailer. I got the fifth wheel for the Dodge truck also. Thank you.

I spoke with Jamie to make sure I ordered the correct 5th wheel hitch for my truck and she went above and beyond. Ordered 11-July (Monday morning) and was delivered 14-July (Wednesday afternoon). I couldn't have asked for a better experience. Haven't installed the hitch yet so only time will tell on that.

The video sent via email with the purchase was 100% exact to my truck and made it really easy to install. I never had to look at the directions because the video showed everything step-by-step. A local truck supply shop was going to charge $700 and said it would take all day. I did it in 4.5 hours with the video and it was the first time installing one of these. Highly impressed overall.

Under bed installation went very well in my 2016 F350. My bed appeared to already come with a dimple mark for the 4 inch hole, but I checked measurements anyway. Good thing I did because the factory mark was 5/8 inch off toward bumper. Other than that, install was a snap. Took my brother and I 100 minutes start to finish.
I love the clean in-bed look!

- Best 5th Wheel Hitch Setup For Full Bed Access On A 2011 Ford F350Hello Jonathan, thanks for reaching out. The best way to keep full bed access on your 2011 F350 will be to go with a B&W Tunoverball/Companion hitch setup. For your truck you can use # BWGNRK1111-5W for the installation kit and the # BWRVK3400-5W Companion 5th Wheel Hitch. There are a few big advantages to going with this setup. First, the installation kit is actually a B&W gooseneck hitch. So, with the hitch removed from the bed, you will still have the full bed at your disposal with...
view full answer... - Identifying Underbed Puck System on 2012 Ford F-250Hi Eric; the dimensions you have don't match any OEM puck system. Ford would have been 30" across and 13" front to back for the spacing. If it looks commercially manufactured it is possible it is some kind of proprietary underbed mount but it doesn't match anything I'm aware of. If that is the case, it is likely an outdated system that is no longer around. It could also be for something that isn't a 5th wheel hitch. One way or another I would say it needs to be removed and replaced if...
view full answer... - Availability of Adapter to Allow B&W Companion Hitch to Fit Round Gooseneck Ball ReceptacleAll of the gooseneck balls for your factory hitch have a round shank. There is no adapter product to convert that round gooseneck ball receptacle to a square one that can accept the B&W Companion 5th wheel # BWRVK3500 or the flatbed version # BWRVK3050. If you truck did NOT have the factory rail kit you could install the B&W Fifth Wheel Installation Kit # BWGNRK1111-5W which would then allow you to use the Companion 5th wheel hitch.
view full answer... - Too Much Chucking on Andersen Ultimate Connection 5th Wheel Trailer Hitch SystemThe Andersen Ultimate Connection 5th Wheel Trailer Hitch System with Adapter, # AM3200 is a great hitch for specific purposes, primarily for lighter weight rigs and utility/work trailers. While yes it can be used to haul larger toy haulers such as yours, you are doing so now, it will not provide the smoother ride quality of other hitches that have features built into them to address the annoying chucking that comes from hauling 5th wheel units.

view full answer... - Compatibility of Curt Gooseneck Hitch with B&W Companion 5th Wheel HitchTo install a fifth wheel hitch that would be compatible with your existing Curt gooseneck hitch, I'd recommend using Curt X-5 adapter, part # C16210. This adapter will lock into a Curt Double-Lock, Flip and Store gooseneck hitches (C-60 and C-600 series). The adapter provides bed rails for a fifth wheel hitch that uses industry standard bed rails like Reese, Curt, Draw-Tite, Valley or Husky. The Curt Q20, part # C16130 would be a good choice. The hitch has a 20,000 lb capacity and a dual...

If you have that puck system you will need the B&W Companion OEM 5th Wheel Hitch for Ford Super Duty Prep Package # BWRVK3305, which is the fixed version, or # BWRVK3370 for the sliding version if you have a short bed (6-1/2 foot bed).

Either would work well for you in terms of quality, but for what you are specifically looking for the B and W route would be better since there is an offset adapter available for the gooseneck hitch ball, part # BWGNXA4085.

For dual rear wheel drive trucks, it's between 23,500 and 26,500 depending on the axle ratio. If you're in the market for a 5th wheel hitch, I recommend the B&W Companion # BWRVK3400-5W for a short bed, or # BWRVK3500-5W if you have a long bed, along with the custom installation kit # BWGNRK1111-5W....

- Are Safety Chains Required for 5th Wheel Trailers5th wheel trailers do not require safety chains the way ball hitches like goosenecks do. Chains are only needed on ball-type couplers like standard receiver hitches and goosenecks. Since a 5th wheel connects at a king pin rather than a ball no chains are needed. Gooseneck hitches like # BWGNRK1111-5W include safety chain loops but 5th wheel hitches do not.

The installation of these will not require a bracket with a bolt that runs through the frame rail and interfere with the installation of the # RP30126.
