B&W Trailer Hitches is an American manufacturer known for durable, innovative towing products, including gooseneck hitches, fifth-wheel hitches, receiver hitches, and ball mounts. Built in Kansas by employee-owners, B&W products are engineered for dependable performance, easy installation, and long-lasting quality.
B&W Trailer Hitches is an American manufacturer known for building innovative, dependable towing products designed to make hitching easier and towing more comfortable. The company began in 1987 in Humboldt, Kansas, when founders Roger Baker and Joe Works combined their fabrication experience to build custom truck beds and solve common problems faced by truck owners.
B&W changed the gooseneck hitch industry with the introduction of the Turnoverball Gooseneck Hitch. Its under-bed mounting system and reversible hitch ball allowed truck owners to quickly store the ball beneath the bed, leaving a clean and unobstructed surface when the hitch was not in use. B&W later applied the same practical approach to the Companion Fifth Wheel Hitch, creating a removable fifth-wheel hitch engineered for a quiet, smooth, and secure towing experience.
Today, B&W manufactures gooseneck hitches, fifth-wheel hitches, receiver hitches, ball mounts, and towing accessories at its nearly 600,000-square-foot facility. The company is owned by approximately 500 employee-owners who remain committed to American manufacturing, trusted materials, skilled craftsmanship, and long-lasting product quality.
Whether you are towing a work trailer, livestock trailer, camper, or fifth wheel, B&W Trailer Hitches offers thoughtfully engineered towing equipment built to perform mile after mile.

Always verify your specific year, make, and model before ordering.
The B&W Trailer Hitches Custom Installation Brackets For Universal Mounting Rails For Some GM Trucks Fifth Wheel Trailer Hitch Bracket BQVLRVR2506 (Part #BQVLRVR2506) Refer to the included instructions for installation details. Basic hand tools are typically all you need.
Yes, the RVK2506 is designed for 2011–2019 Chevrolet and GMC 2500 and 3500 trucks. However, the installation procedure differs by model year: 2011–2015 trucks use 5/8" bolts with bolt guides, while 2016 and newer trucks have factory-threaded mounting holes and use M16 (16mm) bolts. Verify your truck's year before purchasing to ensure you have the correct hardware.
If you have a removable bed liner or mat, it must be removed before installation so the mounting rails can connect directly with the bed. A spray-in bed liner is acceptable and does not need to be removed. If you have a removable liner, you must choose to either remove it or cut it to allow the mounting rails to connect directly with the truck bed.
The kit includes: 2 Patriot Rail Box mounting rails (RVR3210), 1 Bracket Set Box (RVR2506) containing 2 side plates (1 passenger, 1 driver), 2 rear bolt guides, 2 front bolt guides, 10 × 1/2" × 2" carriage bolts, 10 × 1/2" flat washers, 10 × 1/2" split lockwashers, 10 × 1/2" finish nuts, 4 × M16 × 40mm cap screws, 4 × 5/8" × 2" hex cap screws, 4 × 5/8" flat washers, 4 × 5/8" split lockwashers, 4 × 5/8" finish nuts, 10 × 5/16" U-shaped spacers, and 10 offset rectangle washers. Verify all parts are present before installation.
Required tools include: impact wrench or ratchet with 15/16" and 3/4" sockets (2011–2015 trucks) or 24mm and 3/4" sockets (2016+ trucks); 15/16" and 3/4" box end wrenches (2011–2015) or 24mm and 3/4" box end wrenches (2016+); drill with 1/8" and 9/16" drill bits; tape measure; torque wrench; center punch tool; hammer; flashlight; and eye and ear protection.
Yes, a Patriot 5th wheel or Slider Base is required for installation. The base is needed during the forward mounting rail positioning step to correctly space the mounting rails and ensure the base rests flat against the top of the rails.
Yes, drilling is required. You must drill five holes for the rear mounting rail and five holes for the forward mounting rail. First, mark locations with a center punch tool and drill pilot holes with a 1/8" bit. Then enlarge each hole to 9/16" using a 9/16" drill bit. The manual provides specific hole locations in Figure A2. Always examine the area under the truck before drilling to ensure the fuel tank or other equipment will not be damaged.
The rear mounting rail should be positioned 29–3/8" from the rear edge of the bed on an 8-foot long bed, or 24–5/8" from the rear edge on a 6-foot 6-inch short bed. Measure from the rear edge of the bed (not the tailgate) and center the rail by measuring equal distances from the rail edge to each side of the bed. The rail must be positioned precisely as described; improper placement may result in installation difficulty or property damage.
2011–2015 trucks use 5/8" bolts with bolt guides that pass through the frame and out through holes in the side plates. 2016 and newer trucks have factory-threaded mounting holes and use M16 (16mm) cap screws. The side plate brackets accommodate both scenarios with different hole configurations. Each truck type uses different hardware and installation steps, so follow the instructions specific to your model year.
The side plates look very similar. The longer side plate feature (indicated in the manual) will be towards the rear of the truck when installed properly. Use this feature to distinguish the driver side plate from the passenger side plate during installation.
U-shaped spacers are space fillers provided in the kit to accommodate the corrugation in the truck bed. They must be placed in the gap either above the bed (between the mounting rail and bed) or below the bed (between the bed and side mounting brackets). Always use U-shaped spacers; failure to do so will result in property damage when hardware is tightened. Placement differs between the rear and forward mounting rails.
All 1/2" nuts on the mounting rails must be torqued to 80 ft-lbs using a torque wrench.
All 5/8" nuts and all M16 (16mm) cap screws on the side plates must be torqued to 100 ft-lbs using a torque wrench.
Thread a 5/8" × 2" carriage bolt onto each bolt guide so that the shoulder of the bolt head is flush with the surface of the guide. This is a tight fit and may require a wrench. The notches of the bolt guide must engage the corners of the bolt head to prevent the bolt from backing off. If the notches are smashed down, pry them up to ensure proper engagement.
Insert the front bolt guides (shorter ones) into the frame and guide the threaded end of the bolts out through the holes. Insert the rear bolt guides through the large holes on the inside of the frame rails and guide the threaded end of the bolts out of the holes in the frame. Figures B3 to B8 show the detailed steps for each installation.
Do not tighten the side plate mounting hardware when you first install the side plates. Leave them hand-tight until after you have positioned and installed the mounting rails and forward rail. Tighten all hardware only at the final step using a torque wrench.
Place the forward mounting rail in front of the rear mounting rail. Place the Patriot base over the rail attachment points and carefully lower it until the pin tabs pass through the attachment points on the rear mounting rail. Attach the forward mounting rail to the forward mounting points on the base. The base should rest flat against the top of the rails. Before drilling forward mounting holes, pull the RV base towards the rear of the truck and push the forward rail towards the cab to correctly space the mounting rails.
Yes, the hole locations are slightly different. The rear mounting rail has five drill locations at 29–3/8" (8-foot bed) or 24–5/8" (6-foot 6-inch bed) from the rear edge of the bed. The forward mounting rail has five different drill locations. Figure A2 shows both sets of locations. Use the same drilling method (mark, drill 1/8" pilot, enlarge to 9/16") for both rails.
Each of the five drilled holes receives a 1/2" × 2" carriage bolt inserted through the mounting rail from above. Under the bed, install an offset square washer, 1/2" flat washer, 1/2" split lockwasher, and 1/2" finish nut on each carriage bolt. Place a U-shaped spacer in the gap either above or below the bed. Hand-tighten each nut initially, then torque to 80 ft-lbs.
Each side plate is attached using 5/8" × 2" carriage bolts held in place by bolt guides. The bolts pass through the frame and out through holes in the side plate. Secure each bolt with a 5/8" flat washer, 5/8" split lockwasher, and 5/8" finish nut. Do not tighten initially; torque to 100 ft-lbs at the final step.
Each side plate is attached using two M16 × 40mm cap screws, a 5/8" flat washer, and a 5/8" split lockwasher per side. The 2016+ trucks have factory-threaded mounting holes. Do not tighten initially; torque to 100 ft-lbs at the final step.
Before tightening, check that the frame brackets are snug against the frame. Ensure the forward rail is centered in the truck bed. Verify that all 1/8" pilot holes are centered within the slots in the side plate flanges; if not, re-drill the 1/8" holes until the side plates and drilled holes are aligned.
Regularly check that all bolted connections are at the correct torque specification. A visual inspection should be performed before each time you tow. Ensure all 1/2" nuts are at 80 ft-lbs and all 5/8" nuts or M16 cap screws are at 100 ft-lbs.
Do not exceed the tow or tongue rating of the coupler, hitch, truck, or trailer. Consult your vehicle and trailer manufacturer information for ratings. Do not modify the product; doing so could alter its integrity and lead to loss of attachment. When towing a wedge car trailer, keep the center of gravity as low as possible by loading heavy cars over the axles. Never tow with a single car on the front of the trailer. Never exceed speeds that are reasonable for roadway conditions. For comprehensive towing safety information, see "The Trailer Handbook" from the National Association of Trailer Manufacturers (www.NATM.com) and your trailer manufacturer's owner's manual.
The fuel tank of the truck may be directly below the area of the bed that needs to be drilled. Always carefully examine the area under the truck where drilling will occur before drilling. Make certain that the tank or other equipment is not damaged during drilling. Damage to the tank may result in property damage, serious injury, or death.
The RVK2506 fits 2011–2019 Chevrolet and GMC 2500 and 3500 trucks. Installation differs by year: 2011–2015 trucks use 5/8" bolts; 2016+ trucks use M16 bolts. Verify your truck's year and bed length (8-foot or 6-foot 6-inch) before purchasing.
You need an impact wrench or ratchet with appropriate sockets (15/16" and 3/4" for 2011–2015 trucks; 24mm and 3/4" for 2016+), drill with 1/8" and 9/16" bits, torque wrench, tape measure, center punch, hammer, flashlight, and eye and ear protection.
Torque all 1/2" nuts on the mounting rails to 80 ft-lbs. Torque all 5/8" nuts and M16 cap screws on the side plates to 100 ft-lbs. Use a torque wrench and check all connections before each tow.
Yes, a Patriot 5th wheel or Slider Base is required. It is used during forward mounting rail positioning to correctly space the rails and ensure proper fit.
No. Removable bed liners or mats must be removed or cut to allow the mounting rails to connect directly with the bed. Spray-in bed liners are acceptable and do not need to be removed.
Do not exceed the tow or tongue rating of the coupler, hitch, truck, or trailer. Do not modify the product. Check all bolted connections at correct torque before each tow. When towing a wedge car trailer, keep the center of gravity low and never exceed reasonable speeds for roadway conditions.
Re-drill the 1/8" holes until the side plates and drilled holes are aligned. The holes must be centered within the slots in the side plate flanges before you enlarge them to 9/16". Misalignment at this stage will cause installation difficulty and may result in property damage.
Thread the 5/8" × 2" carriage bolt onto the bolt guide so that the shoulder of the bolt head is flush with the surface of the guide. This is designed to be a tight fit and may require a wrench. The notches of the bolt guide must engage the corners of the bolt head. If the notches are smashed down, pry them up to ensure they engage the bolt head corners properly.
For the rear mounting rail, measure the distance on either side from the edge of the rail to the sides of the bed. The rail is centered when both measurements are the same. For the forward mounting rail, ensure it is centered in the truck bed after positioning it with the Patriot base. Re-position the rail if necessary before drilling the holes.
Before drilling forward mounting holes, pull the RV base towards the rear of the truck and push the forward rail towards the cab of the truck to correctly space the mounting rails. This will allow the base to rest flat against the top of the rails. Refer to Figure D4 for the correct spacing.
Regularly check that all bolted connections are at the correct torque specification. Using a torque wrench, torque all 1/2" nuts on the mounting rails to 80 ft-lbs and all 5/8" nuts or M16 cap screws on the side plates to 100 ft-lbs. Perform a visual inspection before each time you tow.
