• ISR Bed Rails For 2700 Series Superglide On 2017 Short Bed Chevrolet Silverado 1500

If you do not have an ISR series Pullrite has an adapter to industry standard rails that you can get. I do suggest however that you go with the B&W Custom Installation Kit w/ Base Rails for 5th Wheel Trailer Hitches, # BWRVK2503, instead. This...

• Does B and W Fifth Wheel Rail Kit BWRVR3200 Have Weight Capacity
  Fifth wheel rail kits like the B and W part # BWRVR3200 don't have independent weight capacities but B and W (and other manufacturers) state that the rail kits have the same weight capacity as the hitch that's installed in the kit. So if you had a 22k hitch installed in the rails like the Reese part # RP30033 you'd have the 22k capacity you mentioned.

• Base Rail Kit for 5th Wheel Hitch on 2018 Ford F-250 with Aluminum Bed
  The B&W Universal Base Rails and Installation Kit for 5th Wheel Trailer Hitches - 10 Bolt # BWRVR3200 will fit your 2018 Ford F-250 with aluminum bed but B&W doesn't recommend it. You will want to use some sort of spacers/isolators that help prevent galvanic corrosion due to the dissimilar metals. My recommendation is to use the Curt Custom 5th Wheel Installation Kit for Ford # C16428-204 which will give you brackets that require no drilling into your frame and also comes with the...

• Can a 5th Wheel Hitch be Installed on a Flat Bed Truck
  There are specific 5th wheel hitches for flat bed trucks and no installation kits because of how the hitches must install. As an example take a look at flat bed hitch # RP30054. To install the hitch a 1/2 inch thick steel plate has to be professionally welded to the truck frame below the flat bed. Then the hitch can be bolted to that plate. A hitch or rails cannot mount to just the bed because the bed is not strong enough in most cases for 5th wheel towing.

• 5th Wheel Base Rails Needed for a 1989 Chevy K3500
  Since you have an older pickup you will need to use universal bed rails. The B&W Universal Base Rails and Installation Kit # BWRVR3200 that you referenced will fit and work great on your 1989 Chevy K3500 with an 8' bed.

  We can easily help you install the B and W Patriot Fifth Wheel hitch # BWRVK3200 in the bed of your 2017 Ford F-250 long bed but we do not have the rail kit part number you mentioned.

• B&W Base Rail Kit for Using 18K Patriot 5th Wheel Hitch on a 2019 Chevy Silverado
  The B&W base rail kit that you would have installed on your 2012 Ford F-250 is either the Custom # BWRVK2401 or the Universal # BWRVR3200. The base rails for your older Ford are different than what they need for the new 2019 Chevy Silverado but they will still be able to utilize a Patriot 18K part # BWRVK3255 or part # BWRVK3270 using one of the following base rail kits (depending on what model Silverado they have): Silverado 1500 LD - # BWRVK2503 Silverado 1500 - # BWRVK2504 Silverado...

• Can B and W Patriot Fifth Wheel Hitch be Used in Bed of 1998 Dodge Ram 2500 Long Bed
  The part # BWRVB3270 is just the slider base of the slider Patriot hitch part # BWRVK3270 which could fit in the bed of your 1998 Dodge Ram 2500 long bed as long as you had a standard set of fifth wheel rails installed. Which for that you'd just need the part # BWRVR3200 and you'd be set. Since you have a long bed truck you really wouldn't need a slider hitch since the slider hitches are designed to give better turning clearance. A better option would be the fixed Patriot part # BWRVK3255...

Meaning, that although several manufacturers produce rails to mount 5th wheel hitches, they have developed an agreed upon pattern of holes that accommodate hitches with tabbed/spade feet that are pinned into place.
