Congrats on the new truck James and welcome back. To add a gooseneck hitch to your new 2027 Chevy Silverado 2500, I recommend the B&W Turnoverball Gooseneck Hitch item # BWGNRK1020. This gooseneck hitch is custom fit and includes all hardware necessary to complete installation on your truck. It has a massive 30,000 lbs capacity and is compatible with both the 6-3/4' and 8' bed lengths.

The B&W Turnoverball item # BWGNRK1020 allows you to store the 2-5/16" hitch ball upside down and inside your bed when you are not using it. This gives you full access to your bed when you're not towing. The locking handle is easily accessible inside your driver's side rear wheel well.

If your Silverado has the shorter 6-3/4' bed, you'll also want to pick up the 4" Offset Ball item # BWGNXA4085. This 2-5/16" gooseneck ball is designed specifically for the B&W Turnoverball Gooseneck Hitch item # BWGNRK1020. It will push the connection point back 4" towards your tailgate to provide you with some extra turning clearance.

To make towing with a gooseneck trailer easier, I also recommend adding the Curt 5th Wheel/Gooseneck Custom Wiring Harness item # C53CR. This harness puts a 7-way connector in the bed of your Silverado and allows you to keep the one on your bumper. This makes hooking up to your gooseneck trailer easier and more convenient.

What kind of trailer are you pulling and how long is your Silverado's bed? Feel free to answer this and throw in any other questions you have, where it says Add Comment.

Thank you so much. I am super excited to pick it up next week. I did end up getting the shorter bed so I'll keep the offset hitchball in mind. One more question. Is the B&W Companion Slider Part Number: BWRVK3400 the correct one for the gooseneck hitch you recommended and my truck? I'm looking at towing a 5th wheel trailer and want to get a compatible hitch.

@James You're welcome! The B&W Companion Slider item # BWRVK3400 is indeed the correct 5th wheel hitch for the B&W Turnoverball Gooseneck Hitch item # BWGNRK1020. It'll connect directly to the square receiver.

@James In my 2023 3500 shortbed I installed the turn overball and had the B&W Companion slider, I pull our 42' 5th wheel and never once had to use the slider. Its great to have if you need it but most often you wont have to slide. Both work flawlessly.

The directions are straight forward. Had to loosen the exhaust in order to get the hardware in. It’s been a couple years and can’t remember if I had to take off the heat shield. I did notice the under bed mounting kit to sit back behind the rear axle a bit not allowing me to use the slide feature with the tail gate closed. That could be because of where the mounting holes on top of the frame are. Don’t know. Good thing is, with the kit being behind the axle I am able to make darn near a 90 degree turn.

@MikeW I'm sure that was definitely a pleasant surprise Mike. Happy to hear the mounting position of the B&W Turnoverball item # BWGNRK1020 is able to help you make pretty tight turns. Thanks for coming back and sharing that feedback with us.
