Question:
Good morning. My truck is a 2021 Tundra SR5, 5.7L with a short bed. What 5th wheel trailer hitch adapter do you recommend if I already have the Turnoverball model 1257R installed? I have these two options: BWRV3500 and BMRV3400... Which of these two options is better for my truck, or do you suggest another option? Many Thanks,

Hey Cesar! Since your 2021 Toyota Tundra has the short bed and the B&W Turnoverball System item # bwgnrk1257 installed, you're going to have to use a sliding hitch.
There's only one sliding hitch that works with the square receiver on the B&W gooseneck hitches. It's the B&W Companion 5th Wheel Trailer Hitch w/ Slider item # BWRVK3400-5W. The Companion Slider has a 20,000 lbs capacity and will give you 12" of travel for making tight turns and backing.
To make towing with a 5th wheel easier, I recommend adding the Curt 5th Wheel/Gooseneck Custom Wiring Harness item # C56070. This harness puts a 7-way connector in the bed of your truck and allows you to keep the one on your bumper. This makes hooking up to your 5th wheel trailer easier and more convenient.
What kind of 5th wheel trailer do you have?
