You can replace the Lippert Rhino pin box on your Brinkley 5th wheel. The right one though is going to depend on the pin weight of your trailer. Here are the options that will work to replace the Lippert Rhino: - Pin Weight of 1,500 lbs - 3,500 lbs:…

Hey Mark, since we know your Brinkley Z3100 has the Rhino style pin box, the correct Gen-Y fifth wheel to gooseneck adapter is the part #GY98GR which comes with the auto latch you mentioned wanting as well!

While it is recommended to use a sliding 5th wheel for a short bed truck so that you have plenty of clearance for sharp turns, it is not necessarily required as it depends on your truck and trailer configuration. If you are using the same trailer…

Hey Edward, so B and W has a Companion hitch that fits directly to the OEM pucks of your 2023 GMC Sierra 3500 with the part #BWRVK3710 so what that means is you have two options. You could go with the #BWRVK3710 and sell your old hitch second hand to…

To add a 5th wheel hitch to your long bed 2024 GMC Sierra 2500, I recommend the B&W Companion OEM 5th Wheel Hitch item #BWRVK3710 for a 20,000 lbs capacity or item #BWRVK3715 for a 25,000 lbs capacity. These 5th wheel hitches will mount directly…

The head alone for the B&W Companion hitch #BWRVK3500 weighs about 70 pounds. Everything else weighs about 130 pounds. So the total weight of the hitch is approximately 200 pounds.

We tend to stick with the safe side of things and just recommend using a sliding 5th wheel hitch if you don't have an 8' bed, but we have heard and seen people 5th wheel tow just fine using a non-sliding hitch on a 6-3/4' bed. We've…

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.…
