B&W Companion 5th Wheel Hitch

[Scott'n'Wendy]

I am 75 and can get my B&W out with the head coming off first. We have the puck system in my truck and it works great. Best non-slider hitch I have ever used. jmo mark

I hope I can when I'm 75....I can barely do it alone now...I prefer to get a helper.

But as others have said, it's a great hitch. Solid. Welds look very professional. Very beefy unit. My nephew has some other brand of 25K hitch. One look at mine and he said " Now that's what a hitch should look like...like you can't break it. Not like my pos"

I literally just got one today for my new F-350 with the puck system. I had a B&W Patriot in my Ram 2500 and it was amazing. Sadly I had to get a new hitch when I switched truck brands. What’s another grand. But the hitch is the best if you want rock solid and reliable. I have heard that the Ram version is heavier than the Ford but it’s worth it to me. I looked at the Curt and Reese (both made in China and more expensive) and bought the American made one instead. Get the B&W and be done with it.

I have the B&W Companion (25K) for the Ford puck system, and my buddy has the same hitch for the RAM. The Ram mounting hole footprint in the bed of the truck is quite a bit more spread out when compared to the Ford (more compact). The hitch heads however are identical.

I have used it for a year, and it is the only 5th wheel hitch I have used, but my sense is that thing is built like a tank, compared to some other conventional hitches I have personally seen.

The base on the Fords are a little different than the base for the Rams the feet are wider.

This is the last one I had on my ram, on the ram I have now it didn't come with the puck system so I had to get a B&W turnover install, when I had this hitch I love it.

I have a 2021 ram 3500 LB with factory puck system and the B&W companion hitch, have been using it for about a year now. I love the easy operation of the hitch and it’s rock solid yes it’s heavy but it extremely well built the one issue that I have with the new ram is the safety pin can be hard to reach. The height of the bed makes it mor difficult so you will need to place the pin where you can reach it when it is removed. I love the puck system , you will have to adjust for proper fit the first time you mount it but that’s it. The instructions are easy to follow.

We were very happy with a Companion 25k but with a Solitude and a short bed Ram, I was uncomfortable with the possibility of interference ( loud scrunchy sounds) so I went with the Companion slider. Have a fixed 25k for sale in the upper Midwest if anyone is looking for one 😀

Anderson hitch... They're great! I had one when towing our 36' FW.. I wouldn't use anything else..

Exactly this, the base for the Ram is larger so it is considerably heavier than the Ford one. Now that I’m full time the hitch hasn’t been removed for over a year, before my wife and I could easily remove it in two pieces without hurting ourselves

I have owned two B&W hitches. Companion when I had my dually and was full-time. Now a Patriot in my short bed. Both excellent hitches. I also installed a electric hoist from harbor freight to pull them out and install them by myself. I made a fitting also to hook the hoist to. My back feels great when I have to push the button to lift or lower it. [emoji4]
I lower mine to a roll around dolly and put it in the corner of the garage. There are many hitches out there these two have worked for me. Good luck.
