Delivery was good as was their communication Really like the hitch. Install took about 3 hours. Video is helpful. Would definitely recommend.

2017 Ford F-350 Super Duty

Product arrived exactly the day I was informed it would and perfectly packaged with all parts. I installed parts on my truck in about 3.5 hours and they fit exactly how I needed them to fit. Rails worked out perfect with my Reese Pro series 20K hitch

Plastic strips used for galvanic protection could be at alot thicker

Excellent kit, still think the plastic stripโ€™s shouldโ€™ve been thicker. Other than that, everything was as stated and easy installation



by:

This shipment came sparsely/poorly secured to it's pallet. the Box holding the Installation Kit and Base Rails was incomplete and missing the two rail sections. These rails are the beginning ingredient to installing the 5th wheel hitch to your vehicle. The box was closed and from all appearances was packed without them and shipped to me incomplete. This ongoing situation is further compounded by the horrible customer service response that is on it's second week of calamity. The first week was wasted by a customer representative known to me as Noah promising me that the missing rails would be shipped out UPS on Monday with a sincere apology and that I should receive them by Wednesday of the coming week. This action proved to be dully noted on the file but not performed or followed up by Noah. No sense of urgency from these people? When the promised delivery day of Wednesday passed I called Thursday to find out it was not even shipped yet(raising the question? When were they going to let me know?) After a totally illogical conversation with a young lady (who was loosing her patients for me) repeatedly explained that "etrailer" was waiting 5 days as company policy for the freight company to find the missing parts even though the box was not damaged or tampered with? I then asked to speak to a manager who assured me that she would ship the rails UPS and provide me with a tracking number going on day two and no tracking number, email or phone call from Jennifer? I'd stay away from this company and find one of the many other resources to buy your trailer needs. From all appearances they seem to perform well unless customer service has to get involved and then you are hung out to dry like me?

FYI: I have never complained online before this... but felt compelled hope this was helpfull!

Ordering is always a breeze through etrailer. Arrived well packaged and great powder coated components. Straight forward installation instructions with only minor frustration keeping everything in place while tightening each bolt. The kit came with everything except the wiring. Great product.

Ford F-350 Super Duty

I bought a new 2022 Ford F-350 and it didn't come with the 5th wheel mounting set up. I got on etrailer.com and found this and it shipped out right away and it took about 4 hours to install it. which surprised me, I thought it would take most of the day. Everything fit perfect, I didn't have to drill any holes in the frame and my Husky 26,000 lb hitch set on perfect. I've been really happy with it and etrailers service is 2nd to none.



by:

Installation was straight forward with no issues fit was perfect. I used this to replace a base that was clean bed technology but it was about 4" above my bed and it caused my 5th wheel to ride too high in the front. This remedied the situation and now I am riding at the correct height.

2023 Ford F-350 Super Duty

Just received the packages very heavy, I'm sure UPS was thrilled. Opened up the Frame rail box was very impressed with the quality of material fit it to the frame on driver side, everything looks like it's gonna line up perfectly this will take me at least a week to do. I will do a little bit every day I am 65. So far I'm impressed with the quality,



by:
2019 Ford F-350 Super Duty

My new 2019 F350 did not have the factory fifth wheel prep so to make my Demco hitch work I ordered this custom rail kit and I am very happy with it. Install was easy and painless since the factory frame had hole right where they needed to be for these brackets. It is a robust set of rails and brackets and will meet my towing needs for sure.



by:
2021 Ford F-250 Super Duty

Installed under a B&W 18k slider. I installed through a drop in bed liner (cut out openings with reciprocating tool). The only advice I have to make install easier is to not have wheel well liners installed, horrible to put in, let alone take out and put back in. The rest of the install was pretty straight forward on a F250. This is my 2nd installation of these rails, I installed on my 2018 F250 as well as my current 2021.

I think that amy and everyone at etrailer are awesome

Took longer than expected to install but it went well!



by:

I have the frame brackets in place and one of the two rails installed. It took about 2-3 hours to get two of the 10 bolts for those two parts. I ran into an issue with the forward bolts on the outside of the rear support rail. I'm guessing I happened to get my measurements off by 1/8 of an inch. Luckily I had a grinder and was able to grind down the modified nuts that hold it in place. We will see how the second rail goes tonight. Everything else was spot on, so I'm not sure how I messed up those two holes.

I went to hitchkin to put it on. And they could not put it on because the toolbox and bedliner was in it. So I took it and bought your setup and the instructions told me exactly what. To do I left the Toolbox And cut Dad. liner as needed. It was about four hours to put it in every Thing lined up perfectly.

Rails and brackets very well made and heavy duty, Had a little trouble getting the spacers in between the bed and brackets but after we removed the spare and dropped the DEF tank it made it a lot easier (just fyi)

Easy to follow instructions for installation. Slider makes hair pin turns much easier. We haul a 15k-16k trailer on it no problems.

This is a very well made product! Exact fit for 2017 F250. No drilling except for installing the bed rails. This is not difficult if you follow the instructions. This also fits up to my Reese 16k slider hitch!

  • Recommendation of 5th Wheel Hitch for Flat Bed on 2022 Chevrolet Silverado 3500
    If, like many flat beds, you will have a gooseneck hitch installed, I suggest the B&W Companion Flatbed Gooseneck-to-5th-Wheel Trailer Hitch Adapter, # BWRVK3050. This works with the B&W Turnoverball Underbed Gooseneck Trailer Hitch for Flatbed Trucks, # BWGNRK1500. With the Companion Flatbed from B&W, you get a heavy-duty fifth-wheel trailer hitch that mounts in your flatbed truck by connecting directly to your Turnoverball gooseneck hitch with the included components. No modifications...

  • Is a Sliding 5th Wheel Hitch Needed for a 2017 Ford F-250 6-3/4 Foot Bed with TurnTec Trailer
    The tapered nose on your 2015 Coachmen Chapparal 336TSIK which is referred to as "TurnTec" should not require the use of a sliding 5th wheel hitch on your 2017 Ford F-250 with the 6-3/4' bed. The 6-3/4' bed is also on the longer side of what is classified as a short bed therefore you should have no issue with turning clearance between your truck and trailer. The correct 5th wheel hitch for you will depend on if you have the factory rail kit or the pucks installed in your truck bed from...

  • 5th Wheel Hitch and Rail Kit Compatible with Curt Gooseneck Adapter Plate
    For a 2019 Ford F-350 I recommend the Reese Quick-Install Custom Installation Kit w/ Base Rails for 5th Wheel Trailer Hitches # RP50074-58 or just the bracket kit # RP50074. The custom brackets will allow you to mount the 5th wheel rails easily and these rails will accommodate the 5th wheel hitches and the gooseneck adapter you have pictured. The rails are industry standard so you will have no issues with compatibility of your Curt gooseneck adapter # 16055or 5th wheel hitch between...

    All of the underbed kits for your 2019 Ford F-350 (short bed) are about the same when it comes to pricing so I recommend using the Reese Under-Bed Rail and Installation Kit # RP87FR for a few reasons; the first reason is that this is the exact same as the OEM puck system so when it comes time to change your tow vehicle you can market your pickup as such, and then the second reason is that with this underbed system you have a LOT more options when it comes to 5th wheel hitches.

  • Removable 5th Wheel Hitch for 2017 Ford F-250 Short Bed without Factory Rail Kit
    For your 2017 Ford F-250 short bed without the factory rail kit, I recommend taking a look at the Curt A20 5th Wheel Trailer Hitch # C16541 along with the Custom Installation and Base Rail Kit # BWRVK2402. This is an excellent sliding hitch that features an interlocking 2-jaw system for a secure connection to the trailer and a fully articulating head for easy hookup and a stable, quiet ride. It has a 20,000 pound towing capacity and 12 inches of slider travel for cab clearance during sharp...

  • 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 B&W Custom 5th Wheel Installation Kit for Ford # BWRVK2402 which will give you brackets that require no drilling into your frame and also comes with the galvanic...

    I would be happy to help you find a fifth wheel hitch for your 2022 Ford F-250 Super Duty. I recommend the Curt Q24 5th Wheel Trailer Hitch item # C16245. This 24,000 lbs hitch has a dual jaw and color-coded lock indicator for safety and security. The dual jaw locking system provides 360-degree jaw-to-king-pin contact this allows for a secure coupling that is far superior to to slide bar models. This feature also helps to reduce rattle and vibration. You will also want the B&W Custom 5th...

  • What are Standard Rail Dimensions for Fifth Wheel Hitches
    There is a line of Demco fifth wheel hitches a while back that uses similar but different mounting slot dimensions like with part # DM6014. Sounds like that's what you have as the B and W # BWRVK2402 is the industry standard rail dimensions like what you see in the attached picture. It would be time for a new slider hitch like the Reese slider # RP30075 since I believe the truck in question is a short bed.

    If you believe there's a possibility that in the future you might wish to upgrade to a larger 5th wheel and a vehicle with a greater towing capacity, then going with a higher rated 5th wheel hitch would be a good idea. The Curt A-Series 5th wheel hitches are one of my most often recommended 5th wheel hitches because they offer some nice features for the price.

    Are you asking about the Companion or the Patriot ? (I see you'd looked at both). For the Companion, you'd want to use the # BWGNRK1116-5W install assembly that would also allow you to tow gooseneck trailers as well as 5th wheels. If you were referring to the Patriot, the B & W Patriot bracket/rail kit for your 2019 F-250 is part # BWRVK2402, however the Patriot is industry standard bed rail compatible, which means you could use any industry standard bed rail compatible bracket/rail...

If you have the F-250, F-350 or F-450 with the OEM Prep Package you can use the Adapter Rails # C88KR which will fit into the receivers of the towing prep package and provide you with industry standard mounting rails.

    The Andersen # AM3200 Ultimate 5th Wheel Connection isn't compatible with the Lippert Turning Point (I'm assuming you're speaking of the Turning Point), so the two would not be compatible. For a rotating pin box-equipped fifth wheel, your best bet would be to install a traditional 5th wheel hitch in your truck. If your truck has the OEM puck system, I'd recommend the Curt A20, part # C16034 or # C16245 along with the # BWRVK2402 rail/bracket kit if the truck doesn't have the puck mounting...

    Congratulations on the all-new rig. Sounds exciting. I will work from the assumption that when you say long bed, that you mean 8-foot bed. For a 5th wheel hitch the B&W # BWRVK3300 that you referred to is designed for the factory prep package. The best choice would be the B&W # BWRVK3255 5th Wheel Hitch with the # BWRVK2402 mounting rails kit for the 2021 F-350.

You need to be able to make close to 90-degree turns to enable safe maneuvering at campgrounds. For a B&W option we have the 18K Patriot Slider hitch # BWRVK3270 which installs...

I really like the A16 hitch since they jaws on the head interlock to provide much better jaw to kingpin contact than other hitches.

    The mounting rails that sit in the truck bed aren't vehicle specific, but the brackets that bolt up the truck frame that secure the mounting rails are. Let's begin with your 5th wheel hitch. It's perfectly acceptable to use the Reese 16K sliding fifth wheel hitch you already have in your new truck.

While your RBW Lil Rocker 5th wheel hitch is compatible with any brand of industry-standard 5th wheel rails, like the B&W, it's important to point out that this is a fixed hitch.
