I checked with my contact at B&W for the weights of the individual component parts in their under-bed 5th wheel hitch kit consisting of parts # BWRVK3400-5W and # BWGNRK1067-5W. The weight of the head unit is 75-lbs; the base weighs 207-lbs and the under-bed assembly weighs 112-lbs.

For reference I have linked both the written instructions and an installation video showing this hitch being installed in a Silverado.

The OEM prep package consists of 4 "pucks" in the bed of the truck that will allow you to drop in puck style hitches for easy installation and removal, that gives you a completely clear bed when not in use. The B&W Companion OEM 5th…

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 Jerry, GM moved the placement of their puck systems starting with 2020 models so you are correct that the pucks would have the hitch not sit directly over the axle. GM did the math and made sure that this placement wouldn't adversely affect…

No, they will not Mark. The Replacement Legs item #RP63FR only work with the Reese M5 hitches like the item #RP30928 for example. The only way to mount the Reese 5th Wheel Trailer Hitch item #RP30047 in the puck system of a 2025 Silverado is to use…

Yes, the puck system used on the 2016-2019 Chevy/GMC trucks is different than the pucks used on the 2020 and newer trucks. So you would need a 5th wheel like the B&W Companion #BWRVK3710 for your 2020 GMC Sierra 3500 with an 8' Bed. If you…

Answer 11

You do not have to use a sliding 5th wheel hitch in a short bed truck. In many cases, truck beds shorter than 8 ft do not have enough clearance between the trailer and truck to execute sharp turns. This is why sliding hitches were invented. Due to…

The correct height setting is going to vary by trailer but you can get there taking some measurements. First make sure your trailer is on level ground and then measure from the ground up to the bottom of the king pin. Then on your truck take a…
