The B&W Hitches GNRC900 is the gooseneck center section designed for use with B&W's Companion fifth wheel hitch system. If you already own a compatible B&W Companion base rail setup and need to tow a gooseneck trailer -- or convert between towing styles -- this center section drops into your existing Companion base and gives you a proper gooseneck ball mount without purchasing an entirely new hitch system. Built in the USA with the same precision machining B&W is known for, the GNRC900 is a purpose-built, heavy-duty component for serious towing applications.
The B&W Companion hitch system is engineered around a modular concept: a set of base rails mounts permanently in your truck bed, and the center section -- the working head of the hitch -- can be swapped out depending on what you're towing. The GNRC900 is the gooseneck center section for that system, providing a standard gooseneck ball and safety chain anchor points in a unit that installs and removes without major disassembly.
This is ideal for owners who tow both a fifth wheel trailer and a gooseneck trailer at different times, or for those who primarily run gooseneck equipment trailers, horse trailers, or flatbeds and want B&W's legendary build quality under their load.
Designed to drop into compatible B&W Companion OEM and aftermarket base rail systems already installed in your truck bed. No new drilling or re-mounting required.
B&W manufactures in Humboldt, Kansas. The GNRC900 is machined and assembled to tight tolerances for secure engagement and long service life under heavy loads.
Provides a gooseneck ball mount for towing standard gooseneck trailers -- horse trailers, equipment trailers, flatbeds, and stock trailers that use the gooseneck coupler style.
The center section can be removed when not in use, freeing up your truck bed. Reinstalls quickly when it's time to hitch up, keeping the system practical for everyday use.
B&W's Companion hitch family includes several center section options: the standard fifth wheel head (for pin box trailers), the gooseneck center section (this unit, GNRC900), and in some configurations an OEM-specific head tailored to factory bed rails from Ford, GM, Ram, and Nissan. The GNRC900 is the gooseneck-specific head, meaning it is the right choice when your load uses a ball-and-coupler gooseneck connection rather than a king pin and jaw.
If you currently own a B&W Companion fifth wheel hitch and want to add gooseneck capability, the GNRC900 is the part that makes that possible without replacing your entire hitch base installation.
The GNRC900 is designed to work with B&W Companion base rail systems. B&W offers Companion bases in OEM-specific configurations that use the factory mounting points in Ford Super Duty, GM Sierra/Silverado HD, Ram 2500/3500, and Nissan Titan XD beds, as well as a universal under-bed mounting version. Confirm that your existing base rail part number is listed as compatible with the GNRC900 center section -- B&W's fitment guide lists compatible base rail models on their product pages.
For owners who already have a B&W Companion base rail system installed in their truck, swapping in the GNRC900 gooseneck center section is a straightforward process. The center section slides and locks into the base rails, typically secured with a locking pin or handle mechanism consistent with the Companion system design. No welding, no bed penetration, no professional installation required for the center section swap itself.
If you are installing the Companion base rails for the first time alongside this center section, truck-specific rail installation will vary -- most OEM-mount versions utilize existing factory holes in the bed and require standard hand tools.
