This setup delivers serious towing muscle for large fifth wheels, toy haulers, or RVs. Rated for 20,000 lbs gross towing weight and 5,000 lbs vertical load limit, it’s a solid match for long trips with heavy rigs. The hitch’s gray powder coated steel frame resists corrosion, while the rail-free design leaves the bed clean once it’s out. Everything about it feels sturdy and ready for the kind of loads that put weaker setups to shame.
Every tow feels steady thanks to the 1" thick dual jaws that wrap around the king pin for 360-degree contact. That tight connection cuts down on rattle and movement compared to slide-bar hitches. Add in polyurethane bushings at the pivot points, and you get a quiet, cushioned ride with less chucking through rough spots or uneven pavement. It’s a setup that stays calm mile after mile, even when the road doesn’t.
Short-bed trucks and tight campsites can make turning a challenge. This hitch solves that with a built-in slider offering 12" of fore-and-aft travel so you can move the trailer away from the cab during slow-speed turns. Once you’re done maneuvering, lock it back in “tow” position and keep rolling. It’s a simple feature that makes backing into tight spots far less stressful.
The cam-action handle keeps things smooth when coupling or uncoupling your trailer. Even on unlevel ground where binding can happen, this handle design lets you pull forward slightly to release tension and open the jaws without a fight. Secure it with the included pin and clip—or add your own padlock for extra peace of mind.
This hitch is built around a Turnoverball gooseneck system that mounts below the bed using existing frame holes. When it’s time to haul something else, pop off the two main pieces—the head and slider base—and drop the gooseneck ball upside down into its 4" bed hole for a flat surface. No rails left behind, no cluttered bed—just a clean truck ready for whatever comes next.
This fifth-wheel trailer hitch is not compatible with Sidewinder or Revolution king pins. Do not use any device that changes the pivot point of your trailer's king pin with this hitch.

I've had this for about a year. Only have about 2,000 miles of use with a 13,000 lbs 5th wheel travel trailer.
It is still like new. Jaws are tight, no rattles with or without the trailer attached.
I use a nylon guide plate, to keep things clean.
The only issue is the slider will not unlatch from the locked position with the trailer attached.
Unlatch and slides fine when not loaded.
Just haven't made the time to talk to B&W about this.
The base is a heavy bugger, and fits snug in the receptical. I've lifted it in and out myself, but not a smart idea.
Overall I would buy again. For our use, where we need the whole bed the majority of time it is an easy solution.

A year later, and it still works the same. Slider still doesnt work. but havent needed it. One thing I have learned is to make sure the lug from the attachment is lubricated before placed into the receiver. After about 8 months of being in the bed, I tried to remove it. Whoah! That was a son of a gun. Finally got it to break free, and then it lifted out. both the lug of the companion hitch, and the receiver of the B&W are nicely powder coated. that powder coating locked together. Nothing patience and a pry bar couldnt fix. But I dont want a repeat. Over all, I may look at something easier for our next travel season.
Just started 5th wheel camping and wanted a hitch that when removed left my truck box bare. I also talked to alot of people who talked about clunking and noise from their hitch while towing. I bought a 2013 32' Coachman which is pushing my 2009 F150 to its max. When pulling with this hitch it feels like the truck and trailer are one unit. No noise and no slop between the two units. I made a lifting pin that goes into the jaws and lifts it out with a comealong hooked to a rafter support in my garage. I then put it onto a wheel cart I made. No heavy lifting and one person can do it all. I've had one teflon foot fall of the hitch and the service was amazing no questions, no pictures, and no waiting. New piece was sent right away. Anyone who tows now and has looked at the hit are very impressed. I would definitly recomend this hitch to everyone.

Every thing has been working good. Seems to take a good jolt to get it to slide with the trailer attached. Still a great product
Was as described very heavy, I would have given 5 stars but after installing I tried to take up. Not gonna happen unless I have some kind of hoist.

Very Good, just wish I had got without slider as never use this part. When I tried to use it it would the fifth wheel would hit to of tail gate. I have no problem at cab of truck when forward. E trailer is my first choice when I make a purchase for my truck.
Easy to install and easy to use.
This hitch works extremely well. The slide is nice if you get into any tight cornering situations. The hitch top and base separate making it a bit easier to mount and unmount.The lock washer used with the mounting bolt that draws up against the gooseneck pin broke on the 2nd use. I had 2 different torque wrenches set to 79 lbs that I tested the bolt with. Unsure why it broke. But overall we love this hitch and we pull a 38f 5ver without issue. Very smooth ride.

The B & W Companion hitch has serviced us very well for the last year. Weve been out on about 8 trips during the past year.
I purchased a fifth wheel trailer and realized that I also needed a hitch. This B&W Underbed Hitch Kit was perfect. The installation took me around 6 hours and I did it by myself in the driveway. When I'm not using the hitch, the ball pops out and I have full use of the bed again. I would recommend this kit to anyone.
Excellent experience all the way around! From customer service to sales all the way to will call. Product was easy to install and works excellent.
Quality product....impressed with the workmanship of B&W. Can't wait to hook 'er up and use it. Shipping was slow but worth the wait.
This was a seamless transaction. Etrailer was easy to deal with and kept me informed on the status of my order the whole way. I highly recommend them
Best one out there by far.
Fast shipping and the box was in perfect condition. I appreciate the amazing customer service. They were friendly and had a good attitude when I called with questions. I look forward to shopping with them in the future. The shipping company called ahead of time and scheduled the delivery because it was such a large item they were friendly and was within their timeframe. Thank you etrailer.com I appreciate it.
Really like this unit with the slide option. With the under the bed option it is also nice that I can remove it and have full bed access. The slide is great as maneuvering is improved significantly without worry of hitting your cab. Assembly is simple. It is heavy so be prepared when installing to have some help but can be handled pretty easily.
Too heavy for one person to install unless you did what I had to do (alone without any help). Removed the bolt from the tailgate end of the roller tubes, pulled the tubes out and separated the upper assemble from the lower bed contact assembly. Doing that allowed me to lift each piece into the bed without tracking down a neighbor.
Works great. Love the slide feature. Let's me move the clack back so I can fuel up the generator without needing to unhook. Coach just floates behind truck with this hitch. Super simple to hookup and unhook as well.
always had B&W hitches .they are heavy duty and they work ! very fast delivery.
I bought a 2020 Silverado 2500, it had a curt gooseneck hitch, it was a pain to remove took like 2 hours to take out, it’s not as well made as the bw hitch glad I put it in, it is well made and easy to install, no problems to install. Thanks for the great product.
Extremely easy install. You will need a torque wrench that’ll go up to 110 ft/lbs. glad I did my research and went with the B&w gooseneck hitch in anticipation of getting this 5th wheel companion hitch at a later time.
The best of the best. I've used them all. This is a game changer. I can't even begin to explain how much I love this hitch. I used to order all my trucks with the factory puck/gooseneck system. Not anymore. Much cleaner look with the B&W. It's worth the install effort to have a B&W system by far.
Outstanding product! Purchased for a 2020 Dodge Ram 2500 w/6.4L Hemi. It took my wife & I about 8 hours to install & everything went together nicely. ~2 hour delay because I wasn’t paying attention & installed the base backwards & had to build a gantry to lift it out. I definitely recommend greasing the round hitch receiver in the bed floor & the square hitch in the base before installing to make removal easier. I recommend the product & looking forward to years of goose neck & 5th wheel hitch use.
Fantastic product! Worked great. Just heavy definitely need 2 people to install it.
This hitch is one fine piece of equipment. Instructions were perfectly detailed and if that's not enough there are videos to guide you. Installed in 4 hours with no problems. Haven't gone anywhere yet but did hook up to camper and was impressed. 2017 Ram 2500 Short Bed

I’m still very impressed with this hitch no problems and no slop
The best 5th wheel I have ever owned. It is very easy and quiet to slide and not a lot of noise going down the highway even if the road is a little rough. It is a little heavy but my cherry picker hoist makes it an easy job if I need to remove it. I did make a rolling stand for moving it around. Also I like no rails in the bed when it is removed.

It is still the best 5th wheel hitch that Ive owned. Very minor maintenance required. Just a little white lithium grease on the swivel points and a Teflon plate instead of grease.
it surpassed my expectations with the quality of this hitch and shipping was crazy fast definitely impressed
Solid, well built hitch. Arrived sooner than expected, and was a breeze to assemble and install. Thanks Etrailer for consistent service as always.

Youll want to make sure that the slider rails are lubricated. Also keep in mind that if the truck and trailer are at different angles and theres a lot of pressure placed on the sliding mechanism, it can bind.
