Install a Companion fifth-wheel hitch in your truck bed with this custom kit. Better than a traditional mounting kit, this setup doubles as a gooseneck hitch when the fifth wheel is removed, and the underbed design allows for full bed access.
Features:
Not only does this kit provide you with a sturdy, custom base for installing your Companion fifth-wheel trailer hitch in the bed of your truck, but it also doubles as one of the most recognizable gooseneck hitches on the market. This fifth wheel installation kit actually is the Turnoverball gooseneck hitch from B&W.
Gooseneck Specs:
With the B&W Turnoverball underbed gooseneck trailer hitch you get the best of both worlds. When you go to tow a gooseneck trailer, the Turnoverball creates a sturdy, dependable connection with your trailer. And when you're done towing, you can stow the ball upside down in the hitch to get full bed access and a clean appearance. When you're ready to tow your fifth wheel trailer, just install the Companion in the ball hole in place of the gooseneck ball and lock the post in place using the built-in handle. You can remove the fifth wheel when you're done towing, leaving your truck bed open once again.
Simple, Custom Installation
This kit is custom designed for your vehicle. The mounting brackets bolt to existing holes in your truck's frame. While some modification is required - you will need to cut a 4" diameter hole in your bed for the hitch ball and drill holes for the built-in safety chain loops - there is no need to weld onto or to drill into your frame.
Once you have the brackets and center section installed, set up the operating handle. This handle is designed to be accessed from the rear driver's-side wheel well. On the end of the handle is the heavy-duty steel pin that secures the mounting post of the Companion (or the base of the gooseneck hitch ball).

The best of the best. I've used them all. This is a game changer. I can't even begin to explain how much I love this hitch. I used to order all my trucks with the factory puck/gooseneck system. Not anymore. Much cleaner look with the B&W. It's worth the install effort to have a B&W system by far.
I bought a 2020 Silverado 2500, it had a curt gooseneck hitch, it was a pain to remove took like 2 hours to take out, it’s not as well made as the bw hitch glad I put it in, it is well made and easy to install, no problems to install. Thanks for the great product.
Have not installed yet but all the hardware is very heavy duty and painted with no defects looks good
I am happy with the products. I do like the new set up B&W came up with for the newer trucks. One thing I was not happy with was when I ordered the Turnover Ball Hitch along with the Companion 5th wheel hitch for my customer, I was shorted the center section for the Turnover ball hitch. Thankfully my customer was understanding, just put a huge delay in getting it installed and came down to the wire before my customer left for their trip.
Had a little hiccup on the delivery, but Tiffany at e trailer took care of everything for me. Got it squared away very very fast. so a big thank you to each trailer for taking care of me.
After having this hitch installed in our truck, we have towed our 5th wheel camper all over the US with no problems.
Easy to order and fast on delivery. Definitely heavy duty!
Very well made, and exceptionally rugged. I had this installed in my 2022 GMC Sierra 2500 HD by a local spring shop that works primarily with heavy commercial trucks, as my truck did not have a 5th Wheel/Gooseneck package. They were very impressed with construction, fit, finish and ease of installation. I also purchased the B&W Companion 5th Wheel hitch to go along with it, to tow my 14k lbs. camper. I have just completed a 1200 mile trip towing camper from Wisconsin to northern New England, and I was very pleased with the performance of both components.
Received this Underbed Installation Kit, the quality of the hardware was perfect! The reason I gave it a 4-star review vs 5-star was the documentation. We had to go to the Website to find the Step-by-Step installation instructions. It would also be VERY helpful if they would BOLD the Hand Tighten Only stuff to ensure this isn't missed. We tightened several of the bolts and found out later these needed to be loosened until final assembly.
Fit is perfect and just as advertised, instructions were complete and very detailed
I purchased this unit because I wanted to keep the bed as clean as possible when not towing. After getting a quote for installation I decided to try it myself. It went very well. Recommend 2 people for installation because it is heavy. Went in with little difficulty. Would recommend highly.
Great hitch
Wouldn’t buy any other brand easy install
It’s versatile to use gooseneck or put in 5 th wheel hitch
Product is excellent and etrailer.com is even better. I wouldn't buy anything but a B&W and every time I do buy etrailer has it here in days. This is my 3rd hitch from them and every time has been flawless. Very happy.
Great product! Great website! Installing this fifth wheel kit was not for the faint of heart but with installation videos and clear, easy to understand instructions. We got ‘er done! Shipment came 3 days earlier than expected
Straight forward install, great quality. Lots of videos for installation instructions to let you know how to do it.
Very quick shipping
Shipping was fast. Fairly easy to insta ll
The instructions are done well, and the install videos are a nice touch. Cant beat the prices.
heavy but box arrived in decent shape and product had no scratches. Installation was easy but you need two people or a lift.
Simple installation, great quality, glad to have it done.
I like the videos on installing what your purchasing.
Somenof the bolts were dented with being in the same plastic bag. And some of the paint was chipped off.
fast to fill order and ship.
