Features to know about

Swift and Seamless Installation: Custom Brackets with No Drilling Required

Installing a 5th-wheel hitch doesn't have to be a hassle. Thanks to the custom-fit brackets in the B&W Custom Installation Kit, you can mount your hitch with ease, leveraging existing holes in your truck's frame. This design minimizes or completely eliminates drilling, making the process quick and hassle-free. You'll be up and running in no time, ready to hit the road for your next adventure.

Ultimate Flexibility: Compatible with Multiple 5th-Wheel Hitches

No need to be tied down to one hitch type—this kit offers industry standard (ISR) rails compatible with a wide range of 5th-wheel hitches from B&W Patriot, Curt, Demco, Draw-Tite, Hidden Hitch, Husky, Reese, and Valley. Whether you're using an above-bed 5th-wheel hitch from any of these brands, the BWRVK2402 rail kit offers a seamless and dependable fit, ensuring that every trip in your truck is smooth and safe.

Built for Strength: Sturdy Powder Coated Steel

Worried about rust and corrosion? The base rails and brackets are crafted from robust steel and finished with a durable, powder-coated surface. This combination is designed to resist corrosion, ensuring that your hitch setup will withstand the elements and the test of time, providing reliable towing for years to come.

Time-Saving Precision: Pre-Drilled Base Rails for Exact Fit

Achieve perfect alignment without guesswork—the base rails come pre-drilled to match your truck bed's existing layout. This precise design translates to faster installation times, letting you concentrate more on your journey than on setting up. You'll appreciate this feature when the installation takes as little as a couple of hours.

Confident Towing with Every Mile: Firm and Secure Connection

Designed with integrity and stability in mind, these base rails ensure a firm mount for your 5th-wheel hitch, reducing wobble and sway during towing. Whether you're hitting rough roads or smooth highways, your trailer will stay steady and secure, giving you confidence in every mile.

Designed for American Roads: Proudly Made in the USA

Invest in quality you can trust. Made in the USA, this installation kit stands as a testament to excellent craftsmanship and engineering.

Product arrived exactly the day I was informed it would and perfectly packaged with all parts. I installed parts on my truck in about 3.5 hours and they fit exactly how I needed them to fit. Rails worked out perfect with my Reese Pro series 20K hitch

Great fit and easy installation. I was glad to have Nick’s help in getting the right part number I needed for my truck

I appreciate the friendliness of staff but when you get your long awaited parts and you are missing ONE (1) single carriage bolt and can’t install the 5th wheel. It’s VERY frustrating. Great product but when the employees on the line can’t get the simple things correct, it makes you wonder. So because it’s Friday and no bolt will get here until next week I am forced to go to (local hardware store) and buy a bolt.

I was pretty frustrated with the etrailer install video for this kit on my truck. I would give 5 stars for the kit, and 3 stars for the etrailer video. My gripe with the video? They must have been installing this kit on a gas truck. My 2019 diesel truck has a DEF tank that is is a PITA and obstructs easy installation. Had etrailer done their video on a diesel truck, there is a simple trick that includes backing the DEF tank mounting nuts off to let the tank drop down just a tiny bit. This makes the install much, much easier.

I made a youtube video of my install to help others should you care to go look for it. Search for "Ford F250 5th Wheel Rail Installation Tips". You are welcome :-)

I talked with one of your sales representative about the brackets and rails for my new truck and how the product numbers did not match what the maker of the showed on their wed site. The sales representative explained to me that the two stock numbers were indeed were the same hitch brackets and rails that would fit my truck and they did!!

2024 Ford F-250 Super Duty

This is the 8th time I have installed a rail system on my vehicles. This was the easiest one I have done. I had a hard time finding the correct kit for my 2024 F-250 and when I finally found it I did not realize that it was grey and not the normal black color. I was surprised when I was done that it did not look bad at all against my factory sprayed in bed liner that is black. I did not have to remove the heat shield as everything was easy to get at. I highly recommend this kit.

When I placed the order it was my 4th go around trying to get the type of hitch I wanted. I was assured that this would fit my truck. I received an email indicating the same thing along with my question. The voice experience was very assuring and positive. The delivery was right on schedule. The installation took only three hours and works well. All the way from ordering to installation was positive. Would order from this company again.

2019 Ford F-350 Super Duty

My new 2019 F350 did not have the factory fifth wheel prep so to make my Demco hitch work I ordered this custom rail kit and I am very happy with it. Install was easy and painless since the factory frame had hole right where they needed to be for these brackets. It is a robust set of rails and brackets and will meet my towing needs for sure.



by:

Everything was exactly as described and fit perfectly, I installed it myself with no trouble.



by:

Very happy with the hitch rails



by:
2021 Ford F-250 Super Duty

Installed under a B&W 18k slider. I installed through a drop in bed liner (cut out openings with reciprocating tool). The only advice I have to make install easier is to not have wheel well liners installed, horrible to put in, let alone take out and put back in. The rest of the install was pretty straight forward on a F250. This is my 2nd installation of these rails, I installed on my 2018 F250 as well as my current 2021.

Don't be in a hurry it takes a little while. Second person would be handy. Everything fits as it should. Just read the instructions.

Even though I got a message saying my order was delivered, only part of my order was delivered. I had made arrangements for the installation of the order parts but had to cancel that appointment because I still have not received all of my order.

Took longer than expected to install but it went well!

Ordering is always a breeze through etrailer. Arrived well packaged and great powder coated components. Straight forward installation instructions with only minor frustration keeping everything in place while tightening each bolt. The kit came with everything except the wiring. Great product.

I bought a new 2022 Ford F-350 and it didn't come with the 5th wheel mounting set up. I got on etrailer.com and found this and it shipped out right away and it took about 4 hours to install it. which surprised me, I thought it would take most of the day. Everything fit perfect, I didn't have to drill any holes in the frame and my Husky 26,000 lb hitch set on perfect. I've been really happy with it and etrailers service is 2nd to none.

  • Base Rail Kit for 5th Wheel Hitch on 2018 Ford F-250 with Aluminum Bed
    The B&W Universal Base Rails and Installation Kit for 5th Wheel Trailer Hitches - 10 Bolt # BWRVR3200 will fit your 2018 Ford F-250 with aluminum bed but B&W doesn't recommend it. You will want to use some sort of spacers/isolators that help prevent galvanic corrosion due to the dissimilar metals. My recommendation is to use the B&W Custom 5th Wheel Installation Kit for Ford # BWRVK2402 which will give you brackets that require no drilling into your frame and also comes with the galvanic...

  • Insulation to Use with B and W Rail Kit in Aluminum Bed of 2024 Ford F-350
    Hey Daniel, so while we don't have any isolators we can sell with the B and W rail kit part # BWRVK2402 I can still help. When we install kits like this on aluminum bed trucks we use landscaping plastic between the bed and the rails to provide that isolation for an easy way that is cheap and works well.

  • Recommended Fifth Wheel Hitches for 2018 and 2019 Ford F-250 and F-350 Trucks
    Hello, When you say doing a fleet of vehicles with the fifth wheel prep package are you referring to simply adding fifth wheel hitches to these trucks that have the prep package? If so I would only need to know the bed size (in order to know if you need sliding hitches or not) and what capacity (16K, 20K, 24K) you are looking for.

    Hey Kevin, great question! The Curt Universal Fifth Wheel Base Rails with Installation Kit # C16100 will both fit on your 2017 Ford F-350 and pair with your Reese/Pro Series hitch, but I actually recommend using the B&W Custom Installation Kit w/ Base Rails # BWRVK2402 instead because the mounting brackets will match up with existing holes in your truck frame so you don't have to drill into the frame at all. Since the Curt kit is universal you'll have to drill holes into your frame for...

    Hey Steve, The B&W Patriot # BWRVK3255 you have would require base rails or a gooseneck hitch and an adapter in order to mount to the bed of the F-250. If you want to go with base rails then I recommend the B&W Custom Installation Kit w/ Base Rails # BWRVK2402. This comes with custom brackets to match up to the factory holes in your frame to make the installation drastically easier. The Patriot # BWRVK3255 will slot right into the rails and be ready to tow.

  • Sliding Fifth Wheel Hitch and Installation Kit for 2017 Ford F-250 Super Duty
    For your 2017 Ford F-250 the fifth wheel hitch I recommend checking out is the Curt A20 # C16541, which has a 20,000 lb capacity. Removing the vast majority of fifth wheel hitches for bed access will be difficult because even though the head and base units can be separated, most head units are quite heavy; the A20's is 108 lbs, for example. To install this hitch in your F-250 you need the B&W Custom 5th Wheel Installation Kit # BWRVK2402. If your F-250 was an 8 foot bed and you did not...

  • Adapter For Using Reese Sliding 5th Wheel Hitch In 2024 Ford F-250 With OEM Prep Package
    Hey Bryan, thanks for reaching out. I do have a solution for you, but the # BWRVK2402 kit you mentioned is for trucks without the OEM 5th wheel prep package. Since your truck is pre-prepped there would be no way to install the frame brackets and rails. What you will need instead is the Reese Elite Series Underbed Rail Adapter # RP30156. This installs directly into the puck system on your 2024 F-250, and it gives you the mounting slots for your Reese slider. Take a look at the picture...

    If your Pullrite is the ISR (Industry Standard Rail) model, it would indeed be compatible with the # BWRVK2402 B&W fifth wheel rail/bracket kit.

    The actual position of the bed rails can vary according to which manufacturer's frame bracket you're using. Since most folks tend to order the brackets from the same manufacturer as the hitch, I'll assume unless told differently that you're using the Curt # C16428 frame brackets with your Curt bed rails (you always want to ensure that the frame brackets and bed rails are from the same manufacturer so the capacity of the installation isn't compromised).

Starting with my recommendation for the factory puck setup, I really like the Curt A25 5th Wheel Hitch # C16036.

    Great question! Although a 5th wheel hitch rated for 20K can tow up to 20K we highly recommend using a 5th wheel hitch that is rated about 1K - 2K over the GVWR of your 5th wheel trailer. This gives you a safety margin and will help keep your hitch from prematurely wearing down from normal use. The only time you would be able to safely use the 20K hitch is if you didn't load your trailer up to the 20K capacity. If your toy hauler is 20K then I recommend going with either the B&W Companion...
