Recommended Base Rail kit for a 2014 GMC Sierra 3500  

Alberto, you're right the B&W Custom Installation Kit w/ Base Rails for 5th Wheel Trailer Hitches #BWRVK2503 is not going to work with your truck because they are only for the 1500s (check image). Instead, you're going to need the B&W…

The B&W Custom Mounting Brackets for Patriot 5th Wheel Above Bed Base Rails, #BWRVR2506, will not work on your 2013 Chevrolet Silverado 1500 truck. This custom bracket kit is confirmed to fit only the 2500 and 3500 models. The Reese Quick-Install…

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.…

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…

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…

Most fifth wheel rails are made to the same industry standard dimensions. They aren't all though. If you measure 22 inches on center between the two rails and they look like the rails of the #RP30035 that you referenced they would be the industry…

Hey Chris, if the B and W Patriot is the fixed hitch version you could use the rail kit adapter part #C29BR but if it's the slider there isn't a rail kit adapter available and you'd have to go with a new hitch designed to fit the pucks…

Great questions! Reese actually makes the OEM puck system for Ford so if the 2022 F-250 is cheaper by a lot then I recommend going that route and installing the Under-Bed Rail and Installation Kit #RP87FR. The only thing you'll really be missing…

With this truck bed configuration (6-3/4) on your 2024 Silverado 2500, you'll need a slider hitch so that you can make turns properly without the trailer making contact with your truck. I recommend the B&W Patriot #BWRVK3270 due to it's…

Hey Heath, thanks for reaching out! The Curt A20 #C55DR and the B&W Companion #BWRVK3670 you're looking at are both excellent 5th wheel hitches, but I have to go with the Companion in this case simple because it is more robust and has a…

It sounds like you could have a set of standard fifth wheel rails that most manufacturers use for their fifth wheel hitches to install into. The different manufacturers all make their own brand of rail kit, but they all have basically the same…

Beds shorter than 8 foot do commonly need a slider hitch David, but a lot of modern fifth wheel trailers are now made with tapered noses to help and in a lot of cases a slider isn't required. So if the trailer you plan to tow has a tapered nose…
