B&W Custom Installation Kit w/ Base Rails for 5th Wheel Trailer Hitches

Ask the Experts about this B and W Fifth Wheel Installation Kit

• Is a Universal Fifth Wheel Installation Kit Worl on my 2019 Ford F-250 Super Duty
  The body on your 2019 Ford F-250 is in fact aluminum the frame however is still made from steel. With that said a universal installation kit is okay to use on it but is not something that we recommend using in any application really unless there is no other option. Since yours is already installed I wouldn't have it removed however, we always recommend using a custom rail kit for both gooseneck and fifth wheel installations. Using a custom fit kit like the B&W Custom Installation...

• Compatibility of Pullrite Fifth Wheel Hitch with B&W Industry Standard Mounting Rails
  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. You can confirm this for yourself by measuring the front to back distance, center to center of the mounting tabs. This should be right at 22 inches. The center to center side to side spacing should be 29, 20-1/2 or 10 inches, as shown in the provided photo.

• What are Standard Rail Dimensions for Fifth Wheel Hitches
  There is a line of Demco fifth wheel hitches a while back that uses similar but different mounting slot dimensions like with part # DM6014. Sounds like that's what you have as the B and W # BWRVK2402 is the industry standard rail dimensions like what you see in the attached picture. It would be time for a new slider hitch like the Reese slider # RP30075 since I believe the truck in question is a short bed.

• Recommended B&W 5th Wheel Hitch for 2019 Ford F-250 4WD with 6-3/4 Foot Bed
  Since your Ford F-250 is a 6-3/4-foot short bed and your Grand Design Reflection 29RS 5th wheel does not have a tapered nose for increased turning clearance you will need a slider hitch to be able to safely make tight turns, or you can install a Sidewinder pivoting pin box and still use a fixed (non-sliding hitch). You need to be able to make close to 90-degree turns to enable safe maneuvering at campgrounds. For a B&W option we have the 18K Patriot Slider hitch # BWRVK3270 which installs...

• Recommended B&W 5th Wheel Mounting Brackets for 2019 Ford F-250
  Are you asking about the Companion or the Patriot ? (I see you'd looked at both). For the Companion, you'd want to use the # BWGNRK1116-5W install assembly that would also allow you to tow gooseneck trailers as well as 5th wheels. If you were referring to the Patriot, the B & W Patriot bracket/rail kit for your 2019 F-250 is part # BWRVK2402, however the Patriot is industry standard bed rail compatible, which means you could use any industry standard bed rail compatible bracket/rail...

• Which B&W Above Bed Rail Kit Fits 2019 Ford F-250 for Patriot Hitch

• Base Rails for 2019 Ford F-350 Standard Bed for Mounting B&W Patriot 5th Wheel Hitch
  To mount a 5th wheel hitch like your B&W Patriot 5th Wheel Trailer Hitch with Slider # BWRVK3270 in your 2019 Ford F-350, you will need the B&W Custom Installation Kit with Base Rails for 5th Wheel Trailer Hitches # BWRVK2402. The reason is, the bolts you are referencing in the bed of your '19 F-350 are what is keeping your truck bed in place and are not actually part of the puck system, which is why the Demco 5th Wheel Rail Adapter # DM6175 won't work. The B&W Base Rails # BWRVK2402...

• Underbed 5th Wheel Hitch Recommendation for a 2019 Ford F-350 Short Bed No OEM Pucks
  All of the underbed kits for your 2019 Ford F-350 (short bed) are about the same when it comes to pricing so I recommend using the Reese Under-Bed Rail and Installation Kit # RP87FR for a few reasons; the first reason is that this is the exact same as the OEM puck system so when it comes time to change your tow vehicle you can market your pickup as such, and then the second reason is that with this underbed system you have a LOT more options when it comes to 5th wheel hitches. The other...

• Will Andersen Ultimate 5th Wheel Hitch Work on 2017 Ford F-350 Short Bed or is Sliding Hitch Needed
  I strongly recommend a sliding 5th wheel trailer hitch for your 2017 Ford F-350 short bed as opposed to the Andersen Ultimate Connection 5th Wheel Trailer Hitch System # AM3200. While technically you can use the Andersen, a sharp turn is likely to result in your Keystone Raptor crashing into the back of your cab. It is much safer to use a sliding hitch, and while it may cost a bit more now, it will be much less expensive than having to repair your F-350's cab as well as your Raptor...

• Can Truck Bed Liner Install with B and W Fifth Wheel Rail Kit
  To install the B and W Fifth Wheel Rail kit part # BWRVK2402 and the Patriot Slider hitch part # BWRVK3270 you would need to remove a portion of the bed liner so that the rails can attach directly to the truck bed. You would not be able to have a rubber mat between the rails and the truck bed either.
