Most Popular Aftermarket Below Bed Rails for 2016 GMC Sierra 3500

Excellent buying experience, super fast shipping would definitely recommend etrailer to others!

Tell ya what I think. I think the B&W 5th wheel hitch is a masterpiece made by American Master welders. And it shows, it's a work of art. It fits into the GMC OEM pucks, like a hotdog in a bun. 5+ Stars for the quality of the hitch. BUT, there's always a but. I will give you about 1.5 Stars on the packaging. It come with box all ripped up. Corner was wide open. Looking at it, I was thinking it would be all scratched up. But NOPE. It's all good. Seriously, bottom-line It's American built, built tougher than 9 penny nails. I highly recommend this hitch and company. 1st place in my books.

It's pretty heavy at 300 pounds. I had to rig a hoist so that I could install or remove from the truck. I installed the side plates first and had to adjust one of the locking tabs per the instructions. I installed the plates in the truck and then lifted the hitch assembly into place. After bolting hitch to the side plates, two of the locks on one side are too tight to remove. I'm going to drive around a bit before removing the whole assembly and adjusting the shims on one side.

Bolted directly to GMC’s factory 5th wheel prep. Nice to have the auto slide feature. No need stop, unlock slide, move the truck forward, re-lock just to make a tighter turn.

This product gets a three based on shipping condition only. etrailer customer service and shipping time was excellent as usual. The shipment arrived 2 days after the order was placed, as promised. However, as others have noted, the product packing is poor. The boxes arrived with significant damage resulting in cosmetic damage to several parts. I haven't put the hitch to use yet but I am assuming it will work correctly. I will leave a followup after I use it.

The hitch arrived nicely packed in two boxes. Very easy to assemble and install on my existing bed rails. I took the RV out for a first run with the hitch, and it performed as advertised. It was a no fuss transaction and the hitch arrived on-time!
