Correct B&W Gooseneck Hitch for B&W Companion on a 2018 Chevy Silverado 3500
Question:
I am looking at purchasing the Companion Slider Fifth Wheel hitch with the turnball under bed. Im not clear on the difference between the BWGNRK1016-5W and the BWGNRK1016?

Both the B&W Gooseneck hitches # BWGNRK1016 and # BWGNRK1016-5W are actually the same thing for your 2018 Chevy Silverado 3500. The reason that one has the "5W" added at the end is because we had to put it in with the "5th wheel" fit guide which includes the Companion Slider # BWRVK3400-5W that you referenced.
Attached is an installation video of the gooseneck hitch being installed on a similar 2018 Silverado 3500 as well as a photo to show what the end result looks like.
If you don't already have a 7-Way installed in the bed of your pickup then I also recommend installing the Bargman # 50-97-410 to make connecting/disconnecting your trailer wiring much easier. A sample installation video has been linked for this as well.
