Recommended Sliding Hitch For 2013 Silverado 2500 Short Bed With B&W Turnoverball Gooseneck
Question:
We have a 2013 Silverado 2500 hd with bw turnoverball gooseneck. We need a manual slide fifth wheel. Wed been referred to the bandw fifth wheel conversion hitch for this, but had also seen a blue ox slider made for goose neck adapter. Just wondered if either had an advantage in capacity, ease of use, warranty, quality, ride, etc. Thanks in advance!

The best option in your 2013 Silverado 2500 HD Short Bed with B&W Gooseneck # BWGNRK1012-5W is the B&W Companion 5th Wheel Trailer Hitch w/ Slider - Dual Jaw - 20,000 lbs # BWRVK3400-5W hands down. This is one of the best systems on the market and by far the best for a gooseneck adapter.
This is the best underbed gooseneck system with the best adapter from gooseneck to 5th wheel. The quality, capacity, and easy of use are unmatched, which gives it a slightly higher pricepoint.
If you don't already have an in-bed 7-way, you may consider the Curt 5th Wheel/Gooseneck Wiring Harness 7-Pole item # C56000 to give you an easy access connection for gooseneck or 5th wheel towing.
