Recommended B&W 5th Wheel Hitch for 2018 Chevy Silverado 3500 8 Foot Bed without OEM Prep Pkg
Question:
Hello, I have a 2018 Chevy Crew Cab Dually. It has an 8ft. bed but, does not have Pucks or a Gooseneck. What brackets for the frame, rails and fifth wheel would you recommend? Empty weight of the 38 RV trailer is about 12,000lbs, I was wanting a B and W brand with a 18K or 20K towing capacity, Any help would be great. Thanks

I recommend the B&W Companion 5th Wheel Trailer Hitch part # BWRVK3500 for a 2018 Chevrolet Silverado 3500 8 Foot Bed without OEM Prep Pkg. It will also require the Custom Underbed Installation Kit for B&W Companion 5th Wheel Trailer Hitches part # BWGNRK1016 for installation. The underbed kit is dual purpose in that it allows for a gooseneck connection and fifth wheel trailer hitch. Therefore, you can swap back and forth easily and you don't have a set of rails in the truck bed taking up space. The fifth wheel has a 20,000 lb weight capacity and the gooseneck a 30,000 lb weight capacity.
