Straight forward install. I've had it in my RAM 2500 for a year now and have pulled my camper for around 7000 miles in that time and have had zero issues with the mount.
Already installed the next day!
In all, this was a painless order. The shipping was not only free, but quick. The heavy hitch was delivered by a semi tractor trailer in good order and condition.
I would say it was about 6 hours to install, including careful reading of instructions. The video was very helpful and I would watch it. To get a torque wrench on the front right bracket I had to take off the tire to swing the torque wrench.
By following the directions, the install went smoothly. And it looks nice too!
Bravo.
ISR bed rails installation has/is performing well - as advertised. I have the anderson ultimate 5th wheel hitch installed on these rails. The only negative comment i have is 'soft' lock washers provided with the hardware. They began to 'mushroom out' when I torqued bolts to specification. Otherwise would have been 5 stars
We have had our B&W The Patriot Slider now for a year, we had the dealer install for us and we can't be any happier with it. We get minimal noise from it, and coupled with the Trailair Rota Flex that already came on our new to us 5th wheel we get minimal herky jerky movements. The hitch came as promised in minimal time frame, we will definetly continue to use etrailer for major items such as this.
Great product, and excellent support; very happy. It took me a little over 4 hours to install, but if you have a good helper and a lift it could be done in half that time.
The instructions weren’t great, but the YouTube video was extremely helpful, be sure and watch it first.
An impact is highly recommended and some extensions were necessary to reach the driver side front brackets.
The team worked with me to get the missing hardware from the manufacturer. Would reccomend.
Product is good however the instructions are not only wrong but mis-leading. Thank good for Tractor supply. The hitch works great!
I purchased this kit to install new 5th wheel rails for my 5th wheel on my 2021 Ram 2500. At first it was kind of scary. the thought of drilling holes in my truck bed was nerve racking. What if I drilled the hole in the wrong spot. The directions that came with the rails made it very easy to do. It took me about 3 hours to do the job by myself. I will say if you can have a 2nd person to help it makes it easier.
Shipping was as expected, product arrived in good condition. Directions were clear and easy to follow. The installation video on etrailer.com was of great help and it was nice tool to have.
good price fast shipping heavy duty pac kaging

Love it perfect fit just like customer service said great instructions no issues
Installed this kit on my sons 2021 Ram 2500 and he uses it almost daily in his work as a contractor, pulling a goose neck trailer. He also uses it to tow his fifth wheel camper. Likes the interchanability of the tow heads as a convenient fast option. He had the fifth wheel and gooseneck heads from his previous truck.
did what it was supposed to do
PROS: Brackets and rails fit perfect and look good in the truck. Height of the rails will make it easy use the bed with the 5th Wheel Hitch removed. Used with a Husky 16KS Hitch I transferred from another truck, and it fit the rails perfectly. CONS: The hardware kit I received did not fit my 2014 Ram 2500 Tradesman, the bolts were too large for the factory frame holes, had to buy new hardware to install the brackets underneath. Also, the hardware kit did not include a nut carrier tool required to install the rear passenger side rail bolt that is placed in a very tight location on the truck. I recommend test fitting all the hardware and conducting a full inventory before starting the project to save yourself time and some frustration.

You mentioned that the hardware did not fit with the factory rail holes and I wanted to see if you could send a picture of those locations.

The issue was not the location of any holes, they all lined up like they needed to and the ones we had to drill through the bed were all fine. The issue was the bolts provided to secure the mounting brackets to the existing threaded frame holes in the truck were too large, they wouldnt even begin to thread into the frame. It is possible I received the wrong hardware pack for the truck, the box was previously opened and re-taped when it got here, I do have pictures of that I could provide. If you would be willing to send out a hardware kit for the truck so I could try the bolts in it, I would not argue, a couple of the bolts I ended up using were a little soft threaded and stripped during the torque process, I would be happy to get back under there with the right ones and tighten things up before the next camping trip. Let me know what ya think. I am very happy with the look and function, but the hardware issue cost me a couple hours on the install and excess frustration so I could not give a 5 star review to a good product

I will have our customer service team reach out to you about sending out new hardware.
Waited three weeks for my order and they shipped half of it!! Customer service was nice, however they told me the other half of order fell off the truck? Or was lost? It will take five days to find it!!! And then another two weeks to ship it! First time and last time customer! I canceled my other orders from e trailer! Not happy at all
Super HD rails brackets, the brackets bolt directly to the frame with existing factory nuts.
No cutting or grinding, just some holes to drill. I did all the work on the my Cummins
Dodge 2500 4x4 on the ground with no lift. If you have the right tools and mechanical
Ability, Takes about 5 hours to install. Great fit and extremely strong. Would highly re-
Commend this product.

Everything is still solid , I pull a 16,500 5th wheel trailer and everything still working great. No rust on painted surfaces , thank for building good stuff.
After one year, product looks like new. I recently re-torqued all hardware however none was out of spec. I'm pleased with the functionality and durability of this product.

A year after installation, product is holding up well and looks like new!
Along with the air springs I also purchased the Patriot 18000lbs 5th wheel and the installation base rails, these products also installed very easily. I'm 63 years old and I installed everything with no help or lifts of any kind.
Thank you for another great product.
was missing two lock nuts and passengers side rear rail the long bolt was in really bad spot had to grind wrench to fit to tighten

I hate to hear that rail kit was missing hardware and a bit difficult to install. I will definitely have our customer service team reach out to you.
Haven’t installed this but delivery was excellent
Order a B&W 5th wheel hitch with the rails package. All was delivered on time and notices to my email kept me up to date for the delivery date. Great job getting me my parts.
Slightly difficult installation but fits perfect and performs perfect
Easy to install.
Fast shipping and very well made
I was on the fence on which tow system to buy. Hands down the BWRVK2602, was no competition We will be setting it up on our 2018 2500 Ram. The package arrived and upon opening saw the fit and finish on all the pieces. A huge help is the video available to show exact steps to get all this mounted. I will be back to get all my brake controller parts. Thanks so much Nick C. for all the help.

Ive used my hitch six times in the last year and had zero issues. The approach plate has rusted some but that was from towing another unit without a pin cover. I mention this so others know the importance of having one to prevent metal on metal contact. I installed this unit myself and torqued everything to spec, nothing has come loose. If youre reading this to determine if you can do it yourself, just do it. Its slow and Id give the difficulty 35 but by no means impossible. Just be thorough when measuring where to put the holes in the bed and make sure the fuel lines arent touching, which is a matter of pulling the clips off and repositioning the hoses
