This fitment was great on my 05 dodge 2500. Easy install and great customer service. Installation description was perfect couple tight spots with rear brackets touches exhaust on passenger side and driver side little hard with top shock mount nut is in the way but nothing to hard. Recommend this product super heavy duty and sturdy. Ready to pull my 5th wheel this weekend. Also i used my reese pro series head unit with it.

Nice kit. Everything lined up as it sho uld.

etrailer is shockingly fast at getting these out the door. I have placed several orders over the years and they usually have it out the same day.

Called e-tailer spoke to Adam E and he was very helpful, and my Hitch installation problem is solved I can tow my trailer now.
He has lots of knowledge and he was very professional.

Prompt service and a knowledgeable, courteous sales staff.

Solid, top quality product with clear and accurate installation instructions.

A pleasure to do business with!



by:

Excellent delivery time, well packed, and great price. Custom kit definitely cuts down on instalation time.



by:

Delivery was fast and packaging good for being this heavy, the box was not broken. Installation went off with no problems. Fit and instructions were great. Solid platform for my 16K hitch. Have pulled my camper on 5 trips with no problems.

Solid item. Bolt placement on a 2003 ram 3500 could be better thought out. Left with restricted access to rail mounting bolts due to shocks, and brackets for lead springs.



by:

Excellent product. Very simple to use. I camp most times without my husband, so it is important that the hitch is easy to use for me and my camping partner (sister).



by:

Installed very well and easy with the included instructions!

2003 Dodge Ram Pickup

Haven't installed it yet, but e trailer is a great outfit to work with. Quality parts and good service. They know their stuff. I'll definitely continue to order from them as I've done in the past.



by:

Excellent hitch. It releases easily every time even if there is a pin load forward of back.



by:

It has done very well. If ever I need another, I would get the same the Hitch is easy to operate and the rails hold tight. Great Product I think



by:

I love this unit on my megacab ram 2500 because it gives you the extra room in the back to hook up and turn sharp on top of an easy install.



by:
2012 Dodge Ram Pickup

Haven't put the kit in yet but parts look great and are rugged



by:

Awesome product from a reliable company. Thanks!

See what our Experts say about this B and W Fifth Wheel Installation Kit

  • Adding a Fifth Wheel Slider to a Ram with an Existing B&W Turnoverball
    The B&W Above Bed Rails # BWRVK2600 will not fit if there is a B&W Turnoverball, like the # BWGNRK1313-5W, already installed. That being said, if you already have that installed, B&W has a better solution. The B&W Companion Slider # BWRVK3400-5W will actually install in the Turnoverball and completely negate the need for above bed rails. I included a review video of this hitch for you to take a look at as well. If you wanted to install the B&W above bed rails # BWRVK2600 and use the Patriot...

  • Can Reese 5th Wheel Mounting Rails Be Used With B&W Frame Brackets
    It's perfectly acceptable to mix and match the hitch from one manufacturer with the install bracket/rail kit from another manufacturer but you DO NOT want to mix frame brackets and bed rails from different manufacturers. The bracket and rails are tested together for weight capacity but if you mix brackets from one manufacturer and rails from another, you can end up with an unknown capacity because the parts weren't tested together. You'd be better off using the rails included with the...

  • Compatible B&W Base Rail Kit For A 2004 Dodge Ram 3500 Long Bed With Overload Springs
    No, for a 2004 Dodge Ram 3500 with overload springs you'll need the B&W Semi-Custom 5th Wheel Installation Kit for Dodge Ram # BWRVR3202-00 instead. This will come with different brackets to work around your overload springs. These rails don't include the pins and clips needed to lock your B&W Patriot 5th Wheel Trailer Hitch w/ Slider # BWRVK3270 to the rails so you'll want to also pick up part # 6014 if you don't currently have the ones that came with the hitch.

  • Will the Demco Hijacker Premier Series Ultra Slide Work With B&W Rail Kit On a Dodge Ram 3500
    Yes, the Demco Hijacker Premier Series Ultra Slide 5th Wheel Trailer Hitch like part # DM6076P-UL-16K will work with the B&W Custom Installation Kit with Base Rails part # BWRVK2600. These systems both use industry standard mounts so you will be just fine. The install kit is also a custom fit so no drilling into the frame will be required. To complete the setup, I also recommend the Curt 5th Wheel/Gooseneck Custom Wiring Harness part # C56070 for easy hook-ups.

  • Will B&W 5th Wheel Bracket Kit Fit on a 2005 Dodge Ram 3500 with OEM Gooseneck Hitch
    We do have a solution for you to tow a gooseneck or 5th wheel trailer intermittently, but if you have a factory gooseneck hitch on your 2005 Dodge Ram 3500 then you would need to remove it to install the B&W 5th Wheel Rail Kit # BWRVK2600, or any 5th wheel rail kit for that matter. To accomplish your goal, and retain a clear bed, you will need the B&W Gooseneck Hitch # BWGNRK1313-5W, which is then compatible with the Companion # BWRVK3500-5W. This whole system is rated for up to 20K and...

    I recommend installing the B&W Custom Installation Kit w/ Base Rails # BWRVK2600 on your 2008 Dodge Ram 3500 Dually. These rails include the custom fit mounting brackets so you will not have to drill into your trucks frame. These are one of the few rail kits made in the USA featuring a lifetime warranty. The rails have the industry standard mounting holes to accept 5th wheel hitches from most manufacturers. The Hopkins Endurance 5th Wheel/Gooseneck 90-Degree Wiring Harness # HM42137 will...

  • Custom 5th Wheel Base Rail Kit for 2006 Dodge Ram 3500 with 6-1/2 Foot Bed and Mega Cab
    I have a solution for you, but the B&W Custom Installation Kit w/ Base Rails for 5th Wheel Trailer Hitches # BWRVK2600 will not fit on the Mega Cab versions of the 2006 Dodge Ram 3500 with overload springs. Instead, you'll want to use the Curt Custom 5th Wheel Installation Rails # C16420-204 which are confirmed to fit on the 2006 Dodge Ram 3500 with both the Mega Cab and overload springs. This kit will provide you with base rails for your truck bed that will allow you to install a 5th wheel...

  • 5th Wheel Hitch Recommendation for 2012 Ram 2500 Short Bed 4WD
    You will need a sliding type 5th wheel hitch for your 2012 Ram 2500 short bed pickup to give you enough clearance for tight turns with your Palomino 5th wheel. Although your trailer's gross weight is 14K I do suggest a hitch rated for at least 18K to give you a good safety margin. Using a higher-rated hitch also means things will tend to last longer and be more reliable. For an above-bed base rail set-up I really like the B&W Patriot # BWRVK3270 along with its custom-fit rail kit # BWRVK2600...

  • Will the B&W Patriot Offer Pin Box Clearance When Used On a 2009 Dodge Ram 3500
    The B&W Patriot 5th Wheel Trailer Hitch part # BWRVK3270 is going to be an excellent option to tow a fifth wheel trailer when used with the B&W Custom Installation Kit with Base Rails part # BWRVK2600 which is a fit for a 2009 Dodge Ram 3500. In regards to clearance, the hitch head height is adjustable from 17" - 19" which should be plenty to give you the recommended 4" - 6" from the bed side to the loft. If you have the recommended clearance then you won't have issues with hitting the...

  • Rail Kit To Use With Lil Rocker 5th Wheel Hitch In A 2007 Ram 2500 Long Bed
    I have just the thing! For your 2007 Ram 2500 long bed I recommend the B&W custom install kit # BWRVK2600. This kit includes custom no drill brackets, all the necessary hardware and a set of ISR (industry standard rails). Your lil rocker 5th wheel hitch is made to fit the ISR so all of this will fit together nicely. We can also get you a new set of pins part # 6014, if you are in need.

  • Universal and Custom 5th Wheel Base Rail Kits for 2011 Ram 2500 6-1/2-Foot Bed
    Curt Universal Fifth Wheel Base Rail Kit # C16100 will fit your 2011 Ram 2500 short bed and if it has overload springs you will also need bracket kit # C16301. If you want to save a lot of time and do less drilling for the install I recommend one of the custom install kits we have for your 2500. These custom kits cost a bit more but they don't require you to drill into the frame and they take a lot less time overall for installation. I recommend you use one of the following CUSTOM kits...

  • Recommended Components for Installing the B&W Patriot 5th Wheel Hitch in a 2004 Dodge Ram 2500
    For your 2004 Dodge Ram 2500, the B&W Patriot 5th Wheel Trailer Hitch, # BWRVK3200, and B&W Custom Base Rails and Installation Kit, # BWRVK2600, work well with an 8 foot bed. The installation kit brackets will install under the bed and mount to existing holes already in your Ram's frame. If you have a 6 foot or less bed on your truck, then it is recommended that a slider 5th wheel hitch be used to gain the correct amount of clearance between the cab of your truck and the front of your...

  • Can I Reuse Old Base Rail Mounting Holes With A New Base Rail Kit
    Yes, if you don't follow the instructions for the B&W Custom Installation Kit w/ Base Rails for 5th Wheel Trailer Hitches # BWRVK2600 then you aren't going to have the brackets line up correctly with the base rails and won't be able to complete the installation. You will have to drill new hole at the specified locations listed in the instructions.

  • Can You Tow with the B&W Patriot Slider Slide Back On a 2007 Dodge Ram 2500
    The B&W Patriot 5th Wheel Trailer Hitch part # BWRVK3270 should only be slid back for making tight turns, not while traveling. The normal towing position would be with the center section closest to the cab whereas the extended position for making tight turns would be with the center section slid back furthest away from the cab and should only be used while maneuver in tight spaces. The center section would not need to be slid back while traveling as you would rarely be making turns sharp...

  • Recommended Fifth Wheel Hitch and Install Kit for 2008 Dodge Ram 2500 Towing 17.5K 5th Wheel
    I recommend the B&W Patriot for your 2008 Dodge Ram 2500. It has an 18,000 pound capacity so is enough for your trailer. It features 3/4 inch dual jaws with gives you great contact between them and the king pin. This helps improve your ride by reducing chucking and jarring between the trailer and your Ram. The Patriot installs into industry standard rails, like part # BWRVK2600. If you don't already have a 7-way trailer connector installed in the bed of your truck, you can install...

  • Industry Standard Rail Kits for a 2006 Dodge Ram 3500
    I would be happy to help you find an installation kit to use your Reese 5th Wheel hitch on your 2006 Dodge Ram 3500. I have a couple of options depending on whether or not your truck is a diesel. If you have the diesel engine then I recommend the Reese Quick-Install Custom Outboard Installation Kit w/ Base Rails item # RP56011-53. This kit will provide you with a set of industry standard rails. The custom brackets mount to existing holes in your frame, minimizing drilling and measuring....

  • B&W Slide Hitch or 5th-Wheel-to-Gooseneck Coupler Adapter For 2011 Ram 2500
    What I think I understand is that you have a 2011 Ram 2500 with, presumably, a short bed and want to know if using a slide type 5th wheel hitch, such as the B&W is better than converting to a gooseneck hitch using one of the Convert-a-Ball options. If the trailer you will be hauling has a typical king pin, fixed pin box, then I suggest the B&W Patriot 5th Wheel Trailer Hitch w/ Slider, # BWRVK3270 installed in to your 2011 Ram using the B&W Custom Installation Kit w/ Base Rails, # BWRVK2600....

  • Rail Kit for B&W 5th Wheel Hitch and the 2005 Dodge Ram 3500
    The B&W Patriot 5th Wheel Trailer Hitch w/ Dual Jaws at 18,000 lbs. # BWRVK3255, is a great choice. Assuming that your current hitch is mounted to industry-standard, above-bed base rails, this will attach right to your existing rails without issue. Otherwise you will need either the B&W Semi-Custom 5th Wheel Installation Kit for Dodge Ram, # BWRVR3202-00 or B&W Custom Installation Kit w/ Base Rails, # BWRVK2600. I recommend going with the Custom option # BWRVK2600 since it will be a...

  • Will B&W 5th Wheel Rail Kit Fit a Pullrite Superglide 2700 and 2012 Ram 2500 Mega Cab
    Since your Pullrite Superglide 2700 is one of the ISR models it will fit on the B&W installation kit # BWRVK2600 which does feature industry standard rails. And the rail kit is a fit for your 2012 Ram 2500 Mega Cab. So you will be good to go! I also recommend installing a 7-Way trailer connector in the bed of the truck using # 41157. It will tee into the factory 7-Way at the back of the truck. Having a 7-Way in the truck bed makes it easier to connect a 5th wheel or gooseneck trailer....

  • Custom Installation Kit w/ Base Rails for Valley 7054 5th Wheel Hitch 2006 Dodge Ram Pickup
    For your Valley 7054 5th Wheel Hitch you will simply need to install a set of ISR base rails. I recommend using a custom fit base rail kit on your 2006 Ram 2500 such as the B&W Custom Installation Kit w/ Base Rails for 5th Wheel Trailer Hitches, # BWRVK2600. The advantage of using a custom-fit bracket kit is that it mounts to existing holes in your vehicle's frame. This minimizes drilling and measuring which reduces installation time and most importantly it avoids known obstacles along...

  • Recommended Rails And 5th Wheel Hitch For A 2005 Dodge Ram 3500 With An 8' Bed
    It sounds to me like you have one of the older Demco rails which have been discontinued. You'll have to replace the rails to be able to have a hitch fit on them. I recommend the B&W Patriot 5th Wheel Trailer Hitch # BWRVK3200 with the B&W Custom Installation Kit w/ Base Rails for 5th Wheel Trailer Hitches # BWRVK2600. B&W is known for quality and that's exactly what you'll get with the B&W Patriot. It has a rounded 2-piece jaw on which inhibits rattle and movement by securely wrapping...

You will need to use a fixed position hitch, such as the B&W Patriot 5th Wheel Trailer Hitch, # BWRVK3200 or # BWRVK3255, using the B&W Custom Installation Kit w/ Base Rails for 5th Wheel Trailer Hitches, # BWRVK2600 to mount in truck bed Then have a rotating turret type pin box on your 5th wheel, such as...
