Will B&W Companion Fit 2006 GMC Sierra 2500 Short Bed
Published 12/08/2024
Question:
I have a 2006 GMC 2500 short bed with BW gooseneck flip over ball installed. Was looking at getting a BW companion slider and read somewhere that it will not work because my model truck was built with a slight crown in the bed making bed not level from front to back. Is this true?

Hi Eric; I'm not sure where you saw that but we have had other customers successfully install the # BWRVK3400-5W without any issues. If the design of the bed on your 2006 GMC Sierra 2500 would not allow the installation of the Companion we wouldn't list it as an option and B&W would have notes saying the Companion is not compatible. You can definitely use this 5th wheel hitch with your truck.

Hello Robin. I actually just put 4’ level on my bed and sure enough from front to back it is not perfectly level. Has a crown in the center. Will this affect anything about the hitch?
