After purchasing this B&W 5th wheel kit I installed it myself. The kit came with great instructions and easy to understand. The kit has all the little tricks to assist with installation. I would buy and use this again if and when needed.

This is actually my 3rd fifth wheel hitch purchase due to upgrading and purchasing newer trucks. Also an indication of how good and practical it is to use!



by:

E trailer in my opinion is the best place to buy hitches and accessories. The videos definitely helped during install. Overall this rail kit was perfect fit and install really wasn't too bad. Do yourself a favor and watch the install video and you won't really need the paper directions. Some of the bolts are very difficult to get to to tighten due to heat shield and fuel tank but that is no fault to the rail kit.



by:

This hitch is so much better than my previous PullRite hitch. Hitches every time. I spend 10 minutes less time making minor adjustments so that it isn't grabbed high. Very pleased.



by:

Wasn’t a 4 hr job! Brackets.came from outside of the frame pointing towards the center .The one was behind the gas tank making it necessary to lower the tank.Directions were spot on other than ease of installation!



by:

It's a little harder to mount than I expected. Doing it by myself and takes a little more time. Now that its done I like the look of the mounting this is only the second time I have mounted a 5th wheel hitch



by:
2021 Chevrolet Silverado 2500

Prices are great.. shipping is on time and I wouldn't hesitate to buy from here again..



by:

The ordering system was very simple to use, Alex the sales expert I had my conversation with was very knowledgeable and helpful. Payment questions were handled with ease and delivery was right on time. We have not gotten the items installed yet but so far, the process was nothing but A-1.



by:
2020 GMC Sierra 2500

Great product but I was missing one carriage bolt. One additional tool I would suggest to anyone installing would be a ratcheting box end 13 mm wrench to reboot the heat shield.



by:
2021 Chevrolet Silverado 3500

The installation is simple but a little more time consuming than expected. I am a fairly good mechanic and with the assistance of a friend who is an excellent, 30-year that's his job, mechanic we feel the two of us could do the installation in an hour and a half next time. Took us 3 hours to do the installation. I do recommend two people and to not do as seen on one of the videos and cut the heat shield, just take your time and take the two heat shields down for the room. I've installed Universal fifth wheel rails in the past and they compare nothing to the quality and cheer girth and strength and fitment of the B&W custom fit rail system.



by:

This kit is heavy duty as it should be to handle the weight of a fifth wheel trailer. All of the parts were in the kit including clear instructions on installing the rails. It is helpful to watch the installation video on the Etrailer website also. Overall a great product!



by:

A great kit. The video made it even simpler. Thank you E Trailer

Installed easily and working great. Gast and efficient service. Always available to assist. Prices are pretty reasonable.

Very satisfied with my purchase. Highly recommend this 5th wheel hitch.



by:

Well thought out kit,, haven't installed it yet but it looks straight forward,, would much prefer rails to be black but it be what it be,,, need better boxing on rails, they were falling out the box when delivered

Ive used it once but it worked great,,,I worked in a RV dealership in my earlier life and installed a few 5th wheel hitches and now days with the factory pre drilled frame it is a piece of cake



by:

All metal parts are heavy gauge. After a year of use the pieces still look like new.



by:
2022 Chevrolet Silverado 2500

The B&W Custom base rail kit that I order was an excellent purchase. Product arrived when I was told it would, and everything fit like a glove. I found the video that showed the installation process extremely helpful, and everything worked just as it was shown.

The only reason I did not give 5 stars, is that I was shorted one bolt. Trying to find a grade 8 1/2'x 2" carriage bolt in small town America these days are almost impossible, especially when you have everything torn out under the vehicle. I will count before hand next time. Other than that, a great product.

2017 Chevrolet Silverado

Sold our 2017 2500 Silverado that had B&W Custom Installation Kit w/ Base Rails for 5th Wheel Trailer Hitches installed. Purchased a 2022 3500 Silverado HD and needed the base rails. Ordered and they work great with the 5th wheel we purchased earlier. Husband a 42 year truck driver very satisfied.



by:

Shiny and new! The gray color matches the gray of my new truck. Very solid looking, good welds and finish. I chose these over several others due to the fact each bracket has four individual securing points, two in the frame and two through the bed to the cross bars. Impressed with these so far, installation looks to be straight forward, photos to come.



by:

Was blown away by the great customer service (thanks James) and how quickly I received my order. Will definitely be ordering all my future truck parts from etrailer.



by: 06/03/2022

Easy install the only difficult part was tighting the bolts above the fuel tank.



by:

It looks great, I have an install it yet, but it looks very high-quality

I had the BEST experience ever with etrailer! Bought a fifth wheel and hitch. Needed rails and mounting brackets for the truck bed. Shopped online,found what I thought would fit and called them for confirmation. Talked with Donna and she helped me to the finish line! The rails and hardware arrived in about 3 days! THREE DAYS! from Missouri to California! Couldn't believe it. Definitely a repeat customer. If you need any help clarifying the compatibility of the item you're looking for, they are a quick phone call away. Not a long hold time on the phone and Donna was as friendly as she was thorough. Thank you Donna!

See what our Experts say about this B and W 5th Wheel Hitch Rails

  • What Is An OEM Prep Package And How Do I Know If I Have It
    The OEM prep package consists of 4 "pucks" in the bed of the truck that will allow you to drop in puck style hitches for easy installation and removal, that gives you a completely clear bed when not in use. The B&W Companion OEM 5th Wheel Hitch w/ Slider for Chevy/GMC Towing Prep Package # BWRVK3775 you were looking at has four puck style feet that drop into the pucks and a lever on each leg that simply turns to lock or unlock the leg in the puck. The prep package will typically also...

  • Determining Fifth Wheel Turning Clearance
    I can certainly help shed some light on the situation. I also am not aware of any app that calculates turning clearance. If only it were so easy right? If you have the option to purchase a long bed truck, that would be preferred. That way you will never have to worry about clearance. Also, GMC offers an OEM 5th wheel prep package, which would make your life a lot easier. Otherwise you will need to install a rail kit like the # BWRVK2505. The official answer is- "it depends".

    The Reese hitch you have will be compatible with ISR rails like the B&W # BWRVK2505. These custom-fit brackets are designed to work with factory holes in your Sierra's frame to make the installation easier and much faster. If you plan on installing this yourself then watch the video below and Brad will walk you through the installation process. Once you have the base rails installed you can then drop the hitch into the rails and lock the legs in place with some pin and clips # C16902...

  • Will Air Lift Air Bags Work with B&W 5th Wheel Hitch Frame Brackets on a 2020 Chevy Silverado 2500
    The B&W Custom Installation Kit w/ Base Rails for 5th Wheel Trailer Hitches part # BWRVK2505 will work great with the Air Lift LoadLifter 7500 XL Air Helper Springs part # AL57541 which are a fit for a 2020 Chevrolet Silverado 2500. Please note, they did change the design of the u-bolts for the air bag kit so they can work better with certain fifth wheel hitches. They use a two bolt design now, not a a single u-bolt so it may work with your existing if you have not yet tried this.

  • Recommended 5th Wheel Base Rails for a 2024 GMC Sierra 3500
    To add a set of 5th wheel rails to your 2024 GMC Sierra 3500, I recommend the B&W Custom Installation Kit w/ Base Rails item # BWRVK2505.

    With this truck bed configuration (6-3/4) on your 2024 Silverado 2500, you'll need a slider hitch so that you can make turns properly without the trailer making contact with your truck. I recommend the B&W Patriot # BWRVK3270 due to it's well-known durability and excellent quality, and it's made in USA.

    As far as a fifth wheel rail kit for your 2024 Chevy Silverado 2500 Long Bed, I recommend the B&W Custom Installation Kit w/ Base Rails # BWRVK2505. I really like the B&W kits because they are a no-drill install, they are made in the USA, and the price is typically pretty competitive compared to other brands.

  • 5th Wheel Base Rails & Custom Brackets For 2024 Chevy Silverado 2500HD
    Hi there Brad; good questions and let's start with the 5th wheel base rails, as you will need new ones to go with a custom, no-drill install kit for your 2024 Chevy Silverado 2500. The reason is you can't mix and match base rails and brackets, and I believe by "Pro" you are referring to old Pro Series rails, which there aren't brackets for. So for new rails and brackets the best option is the following: - B&W Custom Installation Kit w/ Base Rails # BWRVK2505 I like the B&W # BWRVK2505...

  • Drill Bit Sizes Needed to Install the 2023 Chevy Silverado 2500 B&W 5th Wheel Base Rail Kit
    Thanks for reaching out, Jake! You will need 1/8" and 9/16" drill bits to install the B&W Custom Installation Kit w/ Base Rails # BWRVK2505 on your 2023 Chevy Silverado 2500. The 1/8" bit will be used to make pilot holes in your truck bed for mounting the rails to the brackets, and then the 9/16" bit will be used to enlarge those holes before installing the hardware. The installation instructions and a video have been linked to this page for your reference.

  • 5th Wheel Hitch Recommendation For 2021 Chevy Silverado 2500 With 6-1/2 Foot Standard Bed
    We can get your 2021 Chevy Silverado 2500 with a 6-1/2 foot standard bed set up with a 5th wheel hitch, and for that size bed what you will need is a sliding hitch. The reason for that is this will allow the clearance needed to make tighter turns without the trailer hitting your Chevy's cab.

  • Are Curt Q24 and Air RIde 5th Wheel Pin Box Compatible With 2024 GMC 3500 Short Bed
    It sounds like you might already have a Q24 from your old setup and would like to use it with your 2024 GMC 3500. The fixed Q24 # C16245 (for above bed rails) or # C37FR (for OEM prep package) will fit if you have the short bed. However, you are going to run into clearance issues. A short bed typically requires a sliding 5th wheel hitch or rotating pin box.

  • How do I Install the B&W Patriot to My 2021 Chevy Silverado 2500?
    If you have the B&W Patriot # BWRVK3255 (8-foot bed without OEM prep) or the # BWRVK3270 (6-3/4 foot bed without OEM prep), you will first need to purchase the Universal Base Rails # BWRVR3200 (for an 8-foot bed) or # BWRVK2505 (for the 6-3/4 foot bed). For installing the base rails, you will need to remove any heat shield or under-bed spare tire (if you have one). Also, if you have any bed liner or mat, it will have to be removed or cut in order to allow the mounting rails to connect...

I do recommend installing the Hopkins Endurance 5th Wheel/Gooseneck 90-Degree Wiring Harness # HM54FR when you install the rails so you can connect your wiring inside the truck bed.

Using a non-sliding hitch could result in your camper making contact with the cab of your truck when making turns. Since you want a B&W hitch and have the OEM puck system I recommend the B&W Companion OEM 5th Wheel Hitch w/ Slider for Chevy/GMC Towing Prep Package - Dual Jaw - 20K # BWRVK3775. It will drop right into your pucks for easy setup. If you do not have the OEM prep package then I...

  • Does 2020 Chevy Silverado 2500 Short Bed Need Sliding 5th Wheel Hitch and Hitch Options
    You are right about the 2020 Chevy Silverado 2500 short bed being slightly longer than the 2016 models; according to Chevy, the 2020 short bed is 82.25 inches while the 2016 short bed is 78.9 inches. That isn't enough of a difference to negate needing a sliding hitch. Even if your use of the slider is limited, it only takes one instance of taking a turn slightly too sharp for your trailer to crash into the cab of your Chevy, causing potentially significant damage to both the truck and trailer....
