Question:
I have 2016 Gmc 2500HD 8 foot bed with a B&W hide a hitch already installed. What rail kit do I need to get to install for 5th wheel attachments

Expert Reply:
The only gooseneck trailer hitch from B&W that fits your 2016 GMC Sierra 2500 is the B&W Turnoverball Underbed Gooseneck Trailer Hitch # BWGNRK1016, which is what I assume you meant by Hide-A-Hitch. The good news is, no rails are needed at all with this gooseneck installed because it acts as rails for the best 5th wheel hitch in the industry, the B&W Companion 5th Wheel Trailer Hitch # BWRVK3500-5W.
How it works is the Companion mounts directly in the gooseneck hole of the Turnoverball to give you an unparalleled combination of hitches for a gooseneck and 5th wheel trailer. I have added a link to a video review of the Companion as well as the installation instructions for you to take a look at.
