Stop wrestling with universal rail systems that need hours of measuring and drilling. The B&W RVK2506 Quick Fit Custom Bracket and Rail Kit is engineered to bolt directly into your truck's existing factory bed tie-down points or frame provisions, giving you a rock-solid, properly positioned foundation for your B&W Companion fifth wheel hitch -- no hole-sawing, no guesswork, no regrets.
B&W's Quick Fit system is purpose-built to eliminate the headaches of generic rail kits. Instead of a one-size-fits-most approach, the RVK2506 is a custom bracket set designed around a specific truck application, meaning the holes line up the first time and the rails sit at the correct height and position for proper B&W Companion hitch engagement.
At 73 lbs and spanning just under 45 inches, this kit ships as a complete bracket-and-rail assembly. Everything needed to mount the rails to the truck bed is included -- you are not sourcing separate hardware packs or fabricating brackets from scratch.
Custom brackets align with factory frame and bed provisions for your specific truck, eliminating shimming, grinding, or improvised spacers.
Bolt-in installation uses existing anchor points. Your truck bed stays intact and the hitch can be removed when not in use.
Rail spacing and mounting geometry are matched to B&W Companion and Companion OEM fifth wheel hitches for proper head engagement and load transfer.
Rails and brackets are fabricated from high-strength steel with a corrosion-resistant finish, built to handle repeated coupling cycles and high kingpin loads.
B&W Hitches pioneered the Quick Fit (also called "Custom Fit") bracket approach to fifth wheel rail installation. Rather than selling a universal rail kit that the installer must measure, cut, and drill to fit, B&W produces vehicle-specific bracket sets for each supported truck model and bed configuration. The result is a bolt-in rail platform that positions the hitch head exactly where it needs to be relative to the truck's rear axle and cab -- critical for proper weight distribution and steering response when towing a fifth wheel trailer.
The RVK2506 bracket and rail kit is the foundation. Once installed, it accepts the B&W Companion fifth wheel hitch head, which slides onto the rails and locks in place. When you need the full truck bed back, the Companion head removes in minutes while the low-profile rails stay in the bed with minimal intrusion.
The RVK2506 rail kit is designed to work with B&W's Companion fifth wheel hitch family, including:
The rail kit itself does not have an independent tow rating -- the tow rating of your complete system is determined by the Companion hitch head installed on these rails, the specific truck's tow rating, and the kingpin weight of your fifth wheel trailer. Always observe the lowest rating among all components in your towing system.
Installation of the RVK2506 is a bolt-in process that most mechanically competent truck owners can complete in a few hours with basic hand tools. General steps follow the B&W Quick Fit process:
No cutting, welding, or professional fabrication is required for a standard install. The kit ships at 73 lbs, so a second person is recommended for handling and positioning the rails in the bed.
