Will the B&W Turnoverball Gooseneck From a 2011 Chevy Silverado 2500 Fit a 2016

Question

Question:

I have gleaned that BWGNRM1016 will work to make the BandW gooseneck hitch head work from a 2011 Chevy 2500 to a 2016 Chevy 2500. My question is can I simply use my 2011 Chevy 2500 mounting brackets with the gooseneck hitch head and either fabricate drill holes or permanently weld the plates to the frame? Or are frame widths different? I dont mind some fabrication, but I am hoping for a straight yes or no answer. yes it can be made to work, no it will not because....looking to take a hitch off a 2011 chevy 2500 and put on a 2016 Chevy 2500. Thanks! Im on my 9th BandW hitch, and thanks to quality manufacturing, pricing, and fantastic customer service, there is only one hitch that I buy for my fleet, and that is BandW!

Correct, the B&W Turnoverball Gooseneck Custom Installation Kit part # BWGNRM1016 will allow you to transfer the B&W Turnoverball Underbed Gooseneck Trailer Hitch part # BWGNRK1012 from a 2011 Chevrolet Silverado 2500 to a 2016 Chevrolet Silverado 2500 which will then give you the B&W Turnoverball Underbed Gooseneck Trailer Hitch part # BWGNRK1016.

The reason that the B&W Turnoverball Gooseneck Custom Installation Kit is needed is because there was a generation change from 2014-2015 so the truck's are completely different and you would not be able to easily modify the hitch to fit one made for the other. That said, I don't have a list of x, y, and z reasons it will not work but I suppose anything is possible with a welder it just depends on how much work you are willing to undertake. Please note, any warranty that B&W offers would be null and void if you were to modify the hitch so keep that in mind as well.

I will be happy to help sort all this out. The maximum gross trailer weight for a 1993 Chevy 3500 series truck with the 7.4 liter (454) motor is 10,000 pounds. Everything else is lower. It depends on a few other factors such as if it is a 2x4 or 4x4,…

Yes, the Curt fifth wheel rail kit part #C16443-204 that you referenced will work with your Husky 16k fifth wheel hitch. The rails of this kit are industry standard rails which is what your Husky hitch is designed to work with.

Answer 6

The correct part number for the B and W Gooseneck hitch for your 2015 Chevy Silverado 1500 short bed is the part #BWGNRK1057 which means for just the rails and not the hitch center section you'd want the part #BWGNRM1057.

Answer 8

My B&W representative tells me that the 2007 Silverado (New Body or Classic Model) use a different Turnover Ball Hitch than the 2008 Silverado 2500. But, the good news is that instead of getting a whole new hitch, you can retain the center hitch…

Answer 9

Because the one truck is a 2500 and the other is a 1500 the two would not share the same gooseneck fits. For the 2009 Silverado 1500 you would need the part #BWGNRK1057. I attached an install video for more info for you to check out as well.
