Yes, you can install the B&W Turnoverball Underbed Gooseneck Trailer Hitch # BWGNRK1020 with the BedRug Custom Truck Bed Mat # BR44FR on your 2022 GMC Sierra 2500 with the 6-3/4' bed. You will need to make cutouts in the BedRug though for access to the gooseneck receiver and the safety chain loops.

If the ultimate plan is to use the B&W Companion 5th Wheel Trailer Hitch w/ Slider # BWRVK3400-5W this is still possible but you'll likely need to make cutouts for the rubber feet on the bottom of this hitch too so it sits level.

Personally I like to recommend that people go with a spray-in liner for in-bed towing but the BedRug is a viable option as long as you're okay with making the cutouts.

The t-bolt used will depend on the accessory being installed. I reached out to my contact at Retrax to find the size of the track to know what size t-bolts it will accommodate. The track measures 13/16 inches wide x 1/4 inch tall with the top opening…

Hey Robert, unfortunately that's about as good as it gets with the BAKflip #BAK52FR. The only thing you could do to improve your view of your trailer is to fold it up against the cab - which you've already done. Apart from getting rid of it,…

Answer 7

The best tonneau cover option to use when towing is a retractable cover because it retracts into a canister so it doesn't block any of the view while towing. If you get a fold up cover it will block the cab window. If you get a roll up cover it…

I have a solution for you and can give you a general idea, but this isn't something that is tested for because of the differences between tonneaus, trucks and 5th wheel hitch placements. Generally speaking, most tri-fold covers are going to fold…

You will have to go with a sliding hitch to allow the trailer to make tight turns. For a trailer 8 feet wide the only bed length that's going to allow 90 degree turns without a slider is a stationary hitch. That being said you have two options.…

Hey Bryan, that's a good question. The pricing can definitely be misleading, but I wouldn't use it to judge the quality of the tire. A lot of that comes down to promotions, inventory, and whether you're looking at a tire by itself or…
