B & W hitch need advice

**the old one** · 12-11-2021, 09:10 AM

We just purchased the truck to tow our 381M B & W comes up many times. Is there a specific model that I should be looking for. I have 2019 Dodge 4 X4 dually.

B&W Companion 25k for the Dodge puck system is what I would get for your setup.

RVK3600 fits my 2018 Dodge 3500. 2019 was a redesign so not 100% sure the same one fits. I have a short box (6'4") and don't need a slider.

We have the B&W companion slider in our 6.5 foot box pulling a 376THS. Absolutely love the hitch, positive lock, easy to operate, good articulation, and trouble free. You obviously wouldn’t need a slider with an 8foot box, but head unit is the same.

It looks like I'll be going with the B&W companion 25 k What would be guess on price in the Florida area? I appreciate all of the help

I’m going to be a contrarian here and suggest the Anderson goose adapter and hitch.

I HAD the b&w companion slider. It’s a behemoth. It gets stuck in the goose hole and it’s a pain to get out. It weighs a metric ton. The 5th wheel has slop.

I have a 2015 short bed 2500 Cummins, and a 2020 mega cab dually Cummins.

Hear me out, the goose ball on the Anderson is offset 4 inches. It gives plenty of cab clearance as is. And If you need more, use the goose adapter on the king pin for 4 more inches. It sits so far back you’ll need to take the tail gate off to clear the king pin. Basically where my companion sat in the slide position.
I’m not a fan of that. Too far back. But just the offset on the hitch tower is MORE than enough. We just went to mackerricher state park in fort Bragg, in fact we got home last night. I have a triple axle 380 momentum. If I can get in an out of there, you’ll be just fine I’m very confident just about almost anywhere.

The Anderson weighs 35lb and comes in and out in a matter of seconds. I sold my b&w.

And the goose ball towing is magnificent to boot. No more bucking and chucking and slop stopping and taking off.

And finally, the Anderson is cheaper
