Ordered this kit at 10:30 on a Tuesday night and had it delivered to my door by noon on Friday! That’s pretty fast shipping for free. Great product, fit perfect and good instructions, I have bought from Etrailer for years and will continue to be a satisfied customer.



by:

The installation went very well. Very simple and easy to follow instructions on all three products I purchased from etrailer (hitch, rails and wiring harness.) I would highly recommend all three products.



by:
Chevrolet SS

Everything installed as designed. Not the easiest project but doable with the proper tools and careful measuring. Sturdy unit. I did replace the washers for the frame rail bolts with some custom made SS square plate as the supplied washers were too thin and deformed when the bolts were fully torqued to specifications.



by:

Finished install on hitch we purchased a while back.



by:
2016 Ford F-250 Super Duty

My order shipped extremely fast and customer service was awesome. The rail system is high quality, was easily installed and works as it should.



by:
Jeep Patriot

The B&W Patriot has worked out great for me so far. I kind of wish I would have paid the extra money to get an auto slider, but this one suffices just fine.



by:

Ordering was effortless, salesman was knowledgeable, although I had done my due diligence prior to ordering! Anyways got the proper hitch and rail kit, installed the today and ready to tow! I bought the B & W 18K sliding hitch. Heavy duty and slides great!



by:

Very fast shipping have not even opened the box yet or installed but so far so good



by:

It's been one year since the self install of this product. I must say it is holding up no rust and no issues whatsoever. The install took a bit especially while doing it outside in the sun but very happy with product and instructions.



by:

Watch the installation video. Read and understand all directions. Doing that install is very straight forward. Some tips in the installation video help. I installed without a lift, having access to a lift would make installation easier. All in all a good solid product. The custom install kit uses existing holes in the frame rails so no drilling on your frame rails. That is in my opinion the best thing about the custom kit. Installed on a 2014 F-250.



by:

I really love that the rails are custom fit to my truck so I don’t have to drill any holes at all! The order process was very easy and shipping was fast. I found that the installation time was also shorter than the listed time. I would 100% use etrailer again in the future!

Best 5th wheel hitch I’ve used or seen, would buy again in a heartbeat



by:

I needed a custom 5th wheel hitch rail installation kit quickly. When I first called for some information I was disconnected, however, I believe it was from my end that it happened. A short while later I received a call from Katerina who appologised for the disconnection and asked if there was anything that she could do to help me. I explained that I thought it was my fault and that I wanted information on a 5th wneel rail installation kit. As a result I ordered the item and she was kind enough to a) ensure that the item was shipped when expected, and b) to follow up with the shipping and delivery status, without me having to check with the shipping company. I received the item a day earlier than expected and everything was perfect. I have since installed the kit and am now able to pick up my new 5th wheel trailer on schedule. Thank you very much Katrina and eTrailerk for your excellent service.

2015 Ford F-250 Super Duty

Exact fit for our 2015 F250. We installed the brackets ourselves and installation was not to difficult with the instuctions provided. etrailer was excellent to work with and met my needs when I made a last minute decision to pick up in person instead of having the items shipped



by:

Perfect kit, exactly fit, easy install. Great install videos as well.



by:

Easy to install. Took a couple hours.



by:
1995 Chevrolet C/K Series Pickup

As Advertised. Very pleased. Arrived complete with nothing missing. Instructions all were very clear. Very good price compared to buying at RV dealership.

Will be purchasing more items for my Toy Hauler, in the very near future.

Thank You

  • Can PullRite SuperGlide Mount to B&W 5th Wheel Base Rails
    Hi H.L. There isn't actually a specific weight capacity for any 5th wheel base rail kit, including the B&W Custom Installation Kit w/ Base Rails # BWRVK2401 that fits your 2016 Ford F-250. Base rails are designed to meet the tow capacity of the vehicle and hitch, so those are always the limiting factor. As for the hitch, so long as your PullRite SuperGlide 2300 is an ISR series - which stands for "Industry Standard Rails", it will work with the # BWRVK2401.

  • Base Rail Mounting Location For B&W Base Rails on 2012 Ford F-250 For Patriot Slider
    We do have an overhead view from the instructions for your 2012 Ford F-250 of the base rails so you can mount your B&W Patriot 5th Wheel Trailer Hitch with Slider # BWRVK3270. The correct B&W base rail and install kit for your Ford F-250 is the B&W Custom Installation Kit with Base Rails for 5th Wheel Trailer Hitches # BWRVK2401. For this kit, if you take a look at the cut out I added from the instructions, you can see the overhead view that is available; you will need to measure 32-5/8...

  • Rail Spacing Needed When Installing The B&W Custom Installation Kit w/ Base Rails # BWRVK2401
    The distance between the rails should be center to center 22" (pictured below). This rail spacing is considered industry standard. I've attached the installation video for the custom fit B&W rails # BWRVK2401 to help you with the installation so that you can have them ready to go for when your B&W Patriot 5th Wheel Trailer Hitch w/ Slider - Dual Jaw - 18,000lbs # BWRVK3270 arrives.

  • Replacement Reese Sidewinder for MORryde SPB72-1621LD Pin Box
    There is only one option to replace your MORryde SPB72-1621LD that I know will ensure your trailer won't hit your 2016 Ford F-250's bed rails, which is with a rotating pin box that moves the pivot point back 22 inches to the turret as opposed to the hitch. And to replace your MORryde SPB72-1621LD pin box you will need the Reese Sidewinder 5th Wheel King Pin # RP34FR. There is a catch though, in that the B&W Companion, when attached to the gooseneck, is not compatible with a rotating pin...

  • Pin and Clip Needed to Install B&W Patriot in 2015 Ford F-250 Super Duty
    If you are installing the B&W Patriot # BWRVK3200 in your 2015 Ford F-250 Super Duty using industry-standard rails such as # BWRVK2401 then you would only need standard, 3-1/4" long, 1/2" diameter pins such as # 6014. I've added a link to a video review of this product for you to take a look at.

  • Does B and W Patriot Hitch Require a Capture Plate
    The B and W Patriot Hitch part # BWRVK3270 does not require a capture or locking plate to connect to fifth wheel trailer. The only hitches that do that are the ones that are auto-sliders where the head of the hitch locks to the pin box and turns with the trailer. The Patriot is a standard style hitch that pivots between the pin box and the hitch head. No capture plate needed. And also there is not angle of approach requirement that the auto-sliders have. We still recommend trying to back...

  • Firestone Ride-Rite Air Bag Helper Springs With B&W 5TH Wheel Rails On a 2016 Ford F-250
    Yes, the Firestone Ride-Rite Air Helper Springs # F2597 are compatible with the B&W Custom Installation Kit w/ Base Rails # BWRVK2401 for your 2016 Ford F-250. I recommend the Air Lift WirelessAIR Compressor System # AL58WQ to control the air pressure in the air springs.

  • B and W Hitch Recommendation for 2014 Ford F-250 that Can be Used with Sidewinder
    The bad news is that you can't use a Sidewinder pin box with a trailer that a Companion hitch installed in the bed if it's the style designed for Turnoverball gooseneck hitches. Reason being that the Sidewinder needs a hitch that attaches in 4 locations due to the twisting torque they put on the hitch. The Companion only attaches with a center post and the leverage of the Sidewinder is too much for that style. You can use the Fixed B and W Patriot Hitch though part # BWRVK3255 which is...

  • 5th Wheel Trailer Hitch for 2015 Ford F-350 Super Duty 6-3/4 Bed Without OEM Prep Pkg
    The Reese M5 5th Wheel Trailer Hitch, # RP30928 that you mention is not for a short bed trucks, it is not a slider type hitch. This can be used in short bed trucks such as your 2015 F350 with 6-1/2' bed if you also have a rotating king pin box such as the Reese Sidewinder, # RP34FR and the required Sidewinder Wedge Kit, # RP44FR.

  • Can The B&W 5TH Wheel Rails Be Mounted In a 2011 Ford F-250 That Had Reese Elite UnderBed Removed?
    You will be able to install the B&W Custom Installation Kit w/ Base Rails # BWRVK2401 on your 2011 Ford F-250 without an issue. The holes for the Reese Elite Under-Bed Rail and Installation Kit # RP30126 are narrower than where the holes are drilled for the B&W rails. A Pollak 5th Wheel / Gooseneck T-Connector with 7-Pole # PK11893-11932 will allow you to add a 7-way connector inside your bed in the event the previous owner didn't install one or took his out with the hitch.

  • Is Sliding 5th Wheel Hitch Required for 2013 Ford F-350 6-3/4' Bed Towing 2018 Chaparral w/ Turn-Tec
    For trailers that have a boxed front a sliding 5th wheel hitch would be required for any truck bed that is between 6' - 8' long. Since your 2018 Chaparral 298RLS MID has the Turn-Tec tapered front end you very well could use a stationary 5th wheel hitch and still have enough clearance for a 90 degree turn. We cannot necessarily guarantee that it will work because we haven't tested it out, but I did get on Coachmen's site and they make the same claim that your dealer made. Because of this,...
