The install was not too difficult. I installed with the bed liner in but cut out slots for the rails at first. I had to go back and cut out the portion under the base in order for it to set flush on the rails. Thanks for the YouTube videos.

I love them ! I use them with my B&W fifthwheel hitch . Im a RV transporter out of Indiana so ive put a lot of miles on both of these B&W products .



by:

This kit is awesome. Everything lines up wonderfully for my Chevrolet 3500HD long bed. The guide that holds the bolts in place when feeding it through the frame of the truck is genius.......BUT.....please made the guide slightly longer for the rear bolts, (see photo) because mine fell in the frame while pushing it into position, and it took me 2 hours with a magnetic to fish it out of the truck's frame. Until the manufacturer makes them slightly longer, installers drill a hole in the end of the guide and insert a wire, in case it falls into the frame when feeding it into the frame. The two nuts and bolts over the gas truck will drive you nuts (long bed) if you are not a contortionist, lol, but this has nothing to due to this manufacture of this great kit. I also like the grey powder coat that goes with the B&M Patriot 5th wheel hitch.

The B&W 5th wheel hit is working out great.



by:

Everything lined up and fit as it should. The only suggestion I have for B&W is, they should provide flange nuts for the carriage bolts in the rails instead of regular nuts and washers. The space to work in during installation is really tight and trying to get a stack of washers on the bolts plus the nuts started is a challenge to say the least. Otherwise Everything has held up great and I would recommend it to others.

It’s been a year of towing and no issues whatsoever with the hitch rails. I still recommend them to people if they ask what hitch setup I’m running.



by:

Very nice and solid 5th wheel hitch. Very quiet when towing. One important comment: I have a 2019 Chevrolet Crew Cab with 6ft 6 in bed. I am towing a 2019 Grand Design Reflection 5th wheel. Dealership installed the hitch. I seem to have clearance between the cab and 5th wheel when 90 degrees from one another. The 5th wheel hitch overhang will hit the tailgate of the truck when sliding back to locking position. I think its about a 3 inch interference, Make sure you check this by lowering your tailgate before sliding into parking position.



by:

The product is made extremely durable. Installation was not as easy as the etrailer video showed. Not because of the product, but because you definently want your truck up on a lift. Between the frame and truck bed was about 3 inches to work with. Squatting under the truck bed to bolt everything together was not an easy task for this old man. I did complete it with the help of my kids. Other than that, it bolted together as advertised. If you're going to do this yourself, do all the prep work before you start. The predrilled holes in the frame,make sure the threads are clean and clear of debris. Follow the instructions and good luck. Anybody need a slightly used truck cap?



by:

Fantastic customer service from an incredible company. The B&W Components are of uncompromising quality. Perfect fit and finish. Local installers told me 6 to 8 weeks and it was all received within 4 days. Looking forward to a lifetime of memories secure in the knowledge that this hitch will always be a dependable part of it.

Like putting Ikea furniture together?



by:

Ordering process was easy. Only real issue I had was shipping. Package was rather heavy and the carrier called asking to deliver on a tractor trailer. I advised them that the semi couldn't make it to my home without issues. I was away on vacation so had to call my daughter and her boyfriend to go pick it up in his truck. Which pickup location was about 45 minutes from my home. No other issues though. Haven't seen hitch or mounts so can't review on condition, installation, use, or how it was packaged yet.



by:

I bought these rails along with the B&W Patriot 5th wheel hitch. The entire setup is the best in the business. It is astonishing how quiet the hitch is when I'm pulling my camper. Would highly recommend any products offered from B&W! Plus, you just can't go wrong with eTrailer's customer service! They assisted in ordering the correct rails for my truck and the entire process was a breeze!



by:

Perfect fit. Installation was actually pretty easy



by:

I love my B&W hitch. Installation was average and the instructions were very clear with photos along the way. We are a full time RV family and we have pulled across the country three times now on this setup. Very happy with B&W and always happy with the service I receive from e-trailer.



by:

The rail kit appears to be well built and sturdy. The install directions were clear and easy to follow. The only recommendation I'd have on my part would be the nuts for the carriage bolts in the rails. The area above the frame is extremely tight and it makes it hard to get all the pieces on the bolt plus the nut. Instead of a flat washer and lock washer, why not use a flange nut? That would help with the process of working in a tight space. I ended up taping all the washers together and sliding them on the bolt, then putting the nut on. Overall I'm very happy with it though. I believe it will hold up well and last for plenty of years. I've already recommended it to my dad, who's looking to purchase a 5th wheel as well.

The product is exactly what I needed. In my area, I was told this item could not be located by the local dealers, here and in numerous cities within 50 miles. I found it on your website and was very happy to order. My local Chevy Dealer/garage was able to install no problem! My only reason for 4 out of 5 stars was that this product was sent in two separate boxes, (probably to ensure "free shipping") which arrived one day apart and I was not given two separate tracking numbers. A little frustration there and required an extra day at the shop, but still exactly what I ordered and paid for. Thank you.



by:

Purchased a new truck recently and needed a new hitch installed. A local trailer company was going to install it, but the rails we needed would not arrive in time to be installed before our trip. I called etrailer and talked to Ed, who said they had them and could get them to me in 4 days. I placed the order at 5:23 on Monday. They shipped at 6:38 that same day, which is pretty impressive to me. Icing on the cake was that I actually received them on Wednesday. Ed was very helpful and easy to talk to. The only negative was that I had to hold for 20 minutes to get through. Not sure if this is normal or just a spike in calls. Good buying experience for me. Thanks Ed!



by:

Paul was very helpful in getting me Item needed good price great quality it's the fourth time I buy fron etrailer highly recommended



by:

There were delivery problems as UPS had lost 1 of the 4 boxes. I contacted Customer Service and was not only given the name of the representative but also her direct extension. Lori had to file the claim and stayed on the paperwork until she advised that the replacement was in stock and assured it was shipped. They fixed the problem without any extra work on my part. Great experience and Lori deserves major kudos.

  • Recommended 5th Wheel Rails to Mount a Superglide 4400 to a 2017 Chevy Silverado 2500
    Hey James, welcome back! The B&W Custom Installation Kit w/ Base Rails item # BWRVK2506 is exactly what you need to add a set of 5th wheel rails to your 2017 Chevy Silverado 2500. The brackets are custom fit and will install in preexisting holes in your Silverado's frame. I linked an installation video below so you can see how to get the item # BWRVK2506 installed. As far as attaching your Superglide 4400 goes you may also need the PullRite Adapter Kit for Mounting Traditional SuperGlide...

  • Fifth Wheel Bracket Kit for 2017 GMC Sierra 2500HD for B and W Patriot Slider
    Hey John, you actually are not supposed to mix and match rails with bracket kits. So if you are sure you have a set of B and W universal rails (they should be gray) then you could use just the bracket kit part # BWRVR2506. If you know the brand of the rails I can come up with the correct bracket kit assuming its a brand we carry. Otherwise the complete rail kit from B and W part # BWRVK2506 would be what you'd want.

  • Base Rails for 2012 GMC Sierra 2500 With B&W Patriot
    Hey Lydia! I'm assuming you got the B&W Patriot # BWRVK3270 which fits industry standard rails (ISR). Is that correct? Assuming it is, you can use the B&W Custom Installation Kit w/ Base Rails for 5th Wheel Trailer Hitches # BWRVK2506. These are specifically designed for your 2012 GMC Sierra 2500 and will work with any 5th wheel hitch that fits ISR rails. As long as you have a standard pin box you don't need any special attachment to use the Patriot with your 5th wheel.

  • Can a Sliding 5th Wheel Hitch Be Used With a Short Bed 2019 GMC Sierra 3500
    I do not, Ed. But what I can tell you is that if you don't have a rotating pin box that you need a sliding 5th wheel in order to get the clearance needed for 90 degree turns. If you don't use a sliding hitch, and you don't have a rotating pin box, then your 5th wheel is almost certainly going to hit your truck's cab. If you're looking for suggestions, the B&W Patriot 5th Wheel Trailer Hitch w/ Slider # BWRVK3270 with the B&W Custom Installation Kit w/ Base Rails for 5th Wheel Trailer...

  • Will OEM Air Bags for a 2017 Chevy Silverado Work W/ B&W 5th Wheel Rails
    Eric you are correct, that is indeed an issue. To get the rail kit # BWRVK2506 to also work with your factory air bags, you would need to drill into both your truck and the rail kit, which would void any warranty you get with the rail kit.

  • Replacement Jack For A 2004 Ranger Reata VS180 Boat Trailer
    Hey Jeff, Does your Fulton jack have a swivel mount like the # FXP15L does where you can pull a lever and turn the entire jack to get it up out of the way? I've attached a picture of the # FXP15L below as well showing it with a welded on mount instead of using the clamp mount. If this is the case you can swap out just the jack and keep using the same mount welded to the frame. You'll need to remove the snap ring with some pliers and can then pull the jack off of the mount and measure...

  • Towing a 2019 Forest River Sandpiper 379FLOK 5th Wheel With Lifted 2016 Chevrolet Silverado 2500
    While lifted trucks are not the best choice for towing a 5th wheel RV, they can be used. The taller the truck is lifted, the more challenging it is. The RV will most likely need to be lifted as well so as to set level with the truck. This is workable but not best option. The Lippert Components Standard Axle Lift Kit, # LC425750 is one available option. This adds 1.88" of additional ground clearance to your leaf-spring single axle trailer. Flipping the axles is another possibility to...

  • Is there an Adapter to Mount a PullRite Hitch w/the GM Puck System to a Truck w/out the Puck System?
    Hey Alfonso, congrats on the new truck. Sorry but there's no bracket or adapter that will make a PullRite hitch like item # PUL96ZR or item # PUL83RR that's designed for the 2025 GM puck system, work with another mounting system. The bases in the PullRite hitches are built into the structure so you can't swap them out like other brands. There's no way to add a factory puck system to your 2018 that will match up with the PullRite you have either. Do you have any kind of 5th wheel rails...

Initially you said it was a 2013, but either way the # BWRVK2506 I mentioned will work for both model years.

The 5th wheel rails are custom fit and install in pre-drilled holes in your truck's frame. Depending on your bed length you may need a sliding hitch if yours is the 6-1/2' model.

Sliding hitches from B&W and Demco are the ones I most often recommend because of their build quality (both are made here in the USA). Their products cost more because they are worth more. They are beautifully made products that inspire confidence, potential sticker shock notwithstanding. Although you state your trailer will not ever be loaded up to...
