Recommended Under-Bed 5th Wheel Rail Kit for 2015 Chevy Silverado 3500

Question:

Im looking for the part # for the BandW fifth wheel hitch under bed prep with the puck system. Not the fifth wheel hitch itself. The under bed part. Thanks

If you are looking for the B&W installation rails that work with the B&W Companion 5th Wheel Trailer Hitch # BWRVK3500-5W, you will just need part # BWGNRK1012-5W. This is an underbed kit that allows for full bed access and also doubles as a gooseneck hitch when the 5th-wheel hitch is removed. Once installed, this will provide a single hole in the center of the bed that will act as the mounting point for the B&W Companion.

If you are looking for more of a puck-style system, I recommend looking at the Reese M5 Series 5th Wheel Trailer Hitch # RP30921 and the Under-Bed Rail and Installation Kit # RP30868. This is an excellent hitch that has a 20,000 pound towing weight capacity and a forged, single-piece jaw that will wrap completely around the trailer king pin for a secure connection.

The compatible rail kit is an under-bed design that will install 4 puck-style mounts in the truck bed for easy installation of the trailer hitch. I have attached an image of what your truck bed will look like after installing the rail kit. I have also attached a short video demonstration that you can check out.
