Stop fighting with generic rail kits that never quite line up. The B&W RVK2505 is a vehicle-specific bracket and rail set engineered to work precisely with your truck's existing tie-down or stake pocket locations, giving you a rock-solid foundation for your B&W fifth wheel hitch without cutting, welding, or compromising your truck bed. At 84 lbs of solid steel hardware, this kit is built to handle the demands of frequent towing season after season.
B&W Hitches has built its reputation on precision-engineered towing products made in the USA, and the RVK2505 rail kit reflects that standard. Rather than forcing a universal bracket pattern onto your specific truck, this custom kit is designed around the exact frame geometry and bed dimensions of the compatible application -- meaning the rails sit level, the hitch head lands at the correct position over the axle, and the install goes together the way it should.
This kit is intended to pair with B&W's Turnoverball and companion fifth wheel hitch systems, including the popular Companion and Companion OEM series. The brackets anchor into your truck's existing pockets or tie-down points, so there is no drilling into the bed floor on supported applications. Once installed, the rails provide the longitudinal tracks that the fifth wheel hitch head slides into and locks onto.
Engineered for the exact frame width and bed layout of the supported truck application -- not a universal compromise that requires shimming or slotted adjustments.
Thick-wall steel rails and brackets powder-coated for corrosion resistance. At 84 lbs, this is a full commercial-grade mounting system, not a lightweight stand-in.
On supported truck applications, the bracket system uses factory stake pockets or tie-down locations, preserving your truck bed for other use when the hitch is removed.
Designed to accept B&W Companion and Companion OEM fifth wheel hitch heads, which slide and lock into the standard rail channel for a secure, rattle-free connection.
The RVK2505 ships as a complete bracket and rail assembly. A typical B&W custom rail kit of this type includes:
One of the most practical advantages of the B&W rail system is the ability to remove the hitch head and use the rails as a flat bed surface, or to remove the rails entirely and restore the truck bed to near-stock condition. The custom brackets make reinstallation fast and repeatable -- you are not re-engineering the fit every time.
B&W produces custom rail kits (the RVK series) for a wide range of domestic trucks including GM, Ford, Ram, and Nissan platforms. Each RVK kit number corresponds to a specific truck year, make, model, and bed length. The RVK2505 is a specific fitment within that series. Before purchasing, confirm the application chart for your truck's year, make, model, and bed configuration to ensure RVK2505 is the correct kit for your vehicle.
These rails are engineered to work with the B&W Companion fifth wheel hitch (sold separately, part numbers such as RVK3500, RVK3300, and related hitch heads). The Companion hitch head drops into the rail channel and locks with a single-handle operation, making hookup and release straightforward even solo.
If your truck was factory-equipped with a B&W OEM fifth wheel prep package (common on GM trucks ordered with the factory fifth wheel package), the RVK2505 may interface with that existing under-bed hardware. Verify the OEM package type before ordering to ensure the bracket pattern matches.
Installation of the RVK2505 is a straightforward process for a capable DIYer with basic hand tools, a torque wrench, and an assistant to manage the weight of the rails. The general process follows these steps:
Re-check all bracket fastener torque after the first 50 miles of towing. Inspect brackets and rail surfaces each season for surface rust, cracks, or loose hardware. The powder coat finish is durable but can chip at contact points -- touch up bare steel promptly to prevent corrosion in the bracket saddles.
The RVK2505 is a rail and bracket kit only. It does not include a fifth wheel hitch head. You will need a compatible B&W Companion hitch head to complete the towing system. Confirm hitch head compatibility before ordering both components.
