The installation went very well. Very simple and easy to follow instructions on all three products I purchased from etrailer (hitch, rails and wiring harness.) I would highly recommend all three products.

My order shipped extremely fast and customer service was awesome. The rail system is high quality, was easily installed and works as it should.

Everything installed as designed. Not the easiest project but doable with the proper tools and careful measuring. Sturdy unit. I did replace the washers for the frame rail bolts with some custom made SS square plate as the supplied washers were too thin and deformed when the bolts were fully torqued to specifications.

Very fast shipping have not even opened the box yet or installed but so far so good

It's been one year since the self install of this product. I must say it is holding up no rust and no issues whatsoever. The install took a bit especially while doing it outside in the sun but very happy with product and instructions.

Ordering was effortless, salesman was knowledgeable, although I had done my due diligence prior to ordering! Anyways got the proper hitch and rail kit, installed the today and ready to tow! I bought the B & W 18K sliding hitch. Heavy duty and slides great!

The B&W Patriot has worked out great for me so far. I kind of wish I would have paid the extra money to get an auto slider, but this one suffices just fine.

Perfect kit, exactly fit, easy install. Great install videos as well.
by: Ken08/28/2023
Easy to install. Took a couple hours.
by: Matthew07/19/2019
I really love that the rails are custom fit to my truck so I don’t have to drill any holes at all! The order process was very easy and shipping was fast. I found that the installation time was also shorter than the listed time. I would 100% use etrailer again in the future!
by: Roberto11/26/2021
Watch the installation video. Read and understand all directions. Doing that install is very straight forward. Some tips in the installation video help. I installed without a lift, having access to a lift would make installation easier. All in all a good solid product. The custom install kit uses existing holes in the frame rails so no drilling on your frame rails. That is in my opinion the best thing about the custom kit. Installed on a 2014 F-250.

I needed a custom 5th wheel hitch rail installation kit quickly. When I first called for some information I was disconnected, however, I believe it was from my end that it happened. A short while later I received a call from Katerina who appologised for the disconnection and asked if there was anything that she could do to help me. I explained that I thought it was my fault and that I wanted information on a 5th wneel rail installation kit. As a result I ordered the item and she was kind enough to a) ensure that the item was shipped when expected, and b) to follow up with the shipping and delivery status, without me having to check with the shipping company. I received the item a day earlier than expected and everything was perfect. I have since installed the kit and am now able to pick up my new 5th wheel trailer on schedule. Thank you very much Katrina and eTrailerk for your excellent service.

Exact fit for our 2015 F250. We installed the brackets ourselves and installation was not to difficult with the instuctions provided. etrailer was excellent to work with and met my needs when I made a last minute decision to pick up in person instead of having the items shipped

As Advertised. Very pleased. Arrived complete with nothing missing. Instructions all were very clear. Very good price compared to buying at RV dealership.
Will be purchasing more items for my Toy Hauler, in the very near future.

- 5th Wheel Hitch Set Up For 2013 & 2014 Ford F-350Yes it does; for a 2013 or 2014 Ford F-350 the set up for a 5th wheel hitch would use the same parts: - B&W Custom Installation Kit w/ Base Rails for 5th Wheel Trailer Hitches # BWRVK2401 - Long Bed: B&W Patriot 5th Wheel Trailer Hitch # BWRVK3255 or - Short Bed: B&W Patriot 5th Wheel Trailer Hitch with Slider # BWRVK3270 - Pollak 5th Wheel / Gooseneck T-Connector with 7-Pole # PK11893-11932
view full answer... - 5th Wheel Trailer Hitch Rails and Brackets for 2015 Ford F-250 with RBW HitchWe have fifth wheel hitch brackets and rails to fit your 2015 Ford F-250 but not RBW specifically. RBW is actually out of business. If your hitch uses industry standard rails like in the picture I attached, then you can use rails from other manufacturers with your RBW hitch. The B&W custom kit, part # BWRVK2401, is great option that fits your truck. Since they're custom fit there's less drilling into the truck because the brackets mount into existing holes in the truck's frame. I've...

- Andersen Ultimate Hitch Compatibility With B&W 5TH Wheel Rail Kit On a 2016 Ford F-250 Super DutyYes, you will be able to use the Andersen Ultimate Connection 5th Wheel Trailer Hitch System with Adapter # AM3200 with the B&W Custom Installation Kit w/ Base Rails # BWRVK2401 on your 2016 Ford F-250 Super Duty. Both these items use the industry standard measurements for the mounting points. It is best to place the Andersen hitch in the rails before you tighten everything in place. This will ensure that it fits properly as there is some play in the bolt holes that is likely the reason...

- What Rail Kit Do I Need to Install a B&W Patriot 5th Wheel on My 2015 Ford F-250The part needed to install a B&W Patriot 5th Wheel Trailer Hitch w/ Slider, # BWRVK3270, is the B&W Custom Rails and Installation Kit is # BWRVK2401. This kit will include all rails, brackets and all the hardware needed to install into your 2015 Ford F-250 Super Duty. I also recommend getting # 41157 a 5th Wheel/Gooseneck 90-Degree Wiring Harness with 7-Pole Plug. This plug can be installed in the bed of the truck to simplify the hook up between your 5th wheel trailer and your tow vehicle.

I recommend the Air Lift WirelessAIR Compressor System # AL58WQ to control the air pressure in the air springs. You can control the air pressure in each bag from your smartphone using the Air Lift app. The smart manifold will monitor the air pressure in each spring while you drive and make adjustments if the air pressure changes...

view full answer... - Recommended Base Rail Kit For A 2012 Ford F-350 Super Duty Hey Gary, Pre-drilled could mean a lot of things so I wouldn't bank on having a puck system, especially with a 2012 as Ford didn't start installing them until 2011 so they weren't as popular at the time. If you don't have a puck system then you'll need the B&W Custom Installation Kit w/ Base Rails for 5th Wheel Trailer Hitches # BWRVK2401. This kit is a custom fit as well and won't require drilling to install. if you end up having a puck system you can get an adapter like part # C88KR...

It uses the industry-standard above-bed rails (ISR). Please note the attached image showing full measurements of ISR above bed rails. If your current Pullrite Super Glide also uses ISR, then you can confirm there is no issue. If you discover that your current rails are not ISR, then I suggest you replace them with the B&W Custom Installation Kit w/ Base...

- Does B and W Patriot Hitch Require a Capture PlateThe B and W Patriot Hitch part # BWRVK3270 does not require a capture or locking plate to connect to fifth wheel trailer. The only hitches that do that are the ones that are auto-sliders where the head of the hitch locks to the pin box and turns with the trailer. The Patriot is a standard style hitch that pivots between the pin box and the hitch head. No capture plate needed. And also there is not angle of approach requirement that the auto-sliders have. We still recommend trying to back...

And to replace your MORryde SPB72-1621LD pin box you will need the Reese Sidewinder 5th Wheel King Pin # RP34FR.

view full answer... - B and W Hitch Recommendation for 2014 Ford F-250 that Can be Used with SidewinderThe bad news is that you can't use a Sidewinder pin box with a trailer that a Companion hitch installed in the bed if it's the style designed for Turnoverball gooseneck hitches. Reason being that the Sidewinder needs a hitch that attaches in 4 locations due to the twisting torque they put on the hitch. The Companion only attaches with a center post and the leverage of the Sidewinder is too much for that style. You can use the Fixed B and W Patriot Hitch though part # BWRVK3255 which is...

- B and W Fifth Wheel Rail Kit Recommendation for 2015 Ford F-350 for Patriot HitchB and W does not offer just the bracket kits of their fifth wheel rail kits so you'd need to go with the B and W Custom Rail Kit part # BWRVK2401 for your 2015 Ford F-350 short bed.
