I purchased a new returned item that had minor scratches but it saved me a significant amount off the purchase price. The item was still functionally perfect and performed flawlessly. Highly recommend!

Super solid. Excellent instructions

The B&W Fith Wheel BWRVB 3715 is very well built... The hitch is easy to assemble & Install in the proper vehicle..... It's 2 piece assembly also makes it easier than most hitches to remove when not in use.... I would highly recommend it.....
by:
B&W builds an excellent product! I have owned 8 of their hitches and never had an issue. I highly recommend this hitch for any 2020 and newer GM truck.

Quality product, very happy

Package arrived very quickly. Part fit perfectly bought many things from E trailer and never had any issues. Great company to deal with thank you.

Upgraded to the 25K model. I bought a heavier fifth wheel and realized my 20K version would be overloaded. Luckily, the coupler is the same for both versions so I was able to buy the 25K base only which saved about $500. Don’t make the same mistake I made. If you’re ever unsure, just spend the extra $200 for the complete 25K hitch package! I’ve had my B & W hitch for a while now and it’s far superior to anything else on the market! If you’re on the fence between the B & W and other brands, go with the B & W! etrailer shipped fast and I’m ready to get on the road with my 22,000lb fifth wheel!!

The new base fit my 2023 GMC 2500 perfectly. B&W couldn’t verify if this was the correct model for the 2023 GMC but etrailer said it would fit and they were dead on. Thanks etrailer!

Love the companion hitch and Tammie made the upgrade from my 20K hitch to a 25K extremely easy and only sold me what I needed and didn’t try and push unneeded parts on me.
by:
Easy to order with very helpful staff. Arrived on time, had one bent safety keeper that I was able to straighten. Installation in my 2024 GMC 3500 was very straight forward and took about an hour. I set the uprights one hole above the bottom and have about 8” of bed clearance.
by:
Just needed the base because the one from the 18 wouldn’t fit. Great service from a great company. Easy ordering and fast shipping
by:
Great customer service couldn’t ask for better product or service, will buy from them in future.
by:
I initially ordered the wrong product, but with help from Tammie the return was easy. In addition, she followed up with the factory to ensure I received the correct replacement. Awesome people!

  • Will B&W Companion Slider Head Unit From 2019 Chevy Fit A Non Slider Base For A 2025 Chevy?
    Hello Dennis, thanks for reaching out. Yes, it sure will! All of the B&W Companion hitches both slider and non-slider use the same head unit. So, you can grab a new base for your 2025 Chevy and re use the head unit from your old hitch. We have both a 20K and 25K base for the 2025 Chevy, so I'd just double check your trailer weight and choose from the following: - Replacement Base for B&W Companion OEM 5th Wheel Trailer Hitch for Chevy/GMC - 20,000 lbs # BWRVB3710 - Replacement Base...

  • Will B&W Companion from 2021 Ram Truck Fit a 2025 Chevy Silverado 2500 with Pucks
    Hey Larry, thanks for reaching out! The puck locations for a 2021 Ram truck will be different than a 2025 Chevy 2500 so we need to either swap out the base or get you a whole new Companion. To replace the base that fits with your Chevy puck system you need part # BWRVB3710 for a 20K base, or the part # BWRVB3715 for a 25K base. Be sure to get the base that matches your current Companion weight rating since you're limited by your least rated component. If you'd rather go with a whole...

  • Will the B&W Companion From a 2016 Chevrolet Silverado 2500 Fit a 2020-2022 Silverado 3500
    The answer to your question will depend on which B&W Companion you have and whether or not you have the OEM prep package right now or not. I also don't know which bed size you have but I will assume it will remain the same between the old and new trucks since the short bed needs the slider and the long bed needs the fixed hitch. If you currently have the OEM prep package on your 2016 Chevrolet Silverado 2500 then you will be able to use the head for the hitch for a 2020-2022 Silverado...

  • Is It Possible To Buy The New B&W Base And Keep Old 5th Wheel Head When Switching From GMC To RAM ?
    Hey Megan, yes you sure can! I'm glad you asked as you'll be able to save some time and money. I see you were looking at the B&W Companion OEM 5th Wheel For Ram # BWRVK3600. This fits your 2026 RAM 3500 and consists of the Base # BWRVB3600 and Head # BWRVC3006. The 2021 GMC fit for the B&W Companion OEM 5th Wheel For Chevy/GMC is part # BWRVK3715 which consists of the Base # BWRVB3715 and the same exact Head # BWRVC3006 as the Ram kit. So if you have that setup on your GMC and want...

  • Will B and W Companion Fifth Wheel Hitch for 2018 GMC Sierra 3500 also Fit 2020 Sierra 3500
    For the 2020 models of the GMC and Chevy factory rail kits GM made a few changes to the OEM rail kit dimension so the hitch fits had to change. But the good news is that you don't have to buy an all new hitch. You can reuse the head of your current hitch and just get a new base to fit the truck with part # BWRVB3715. You might consider selling your current hitch complete as that might be easier to sell than just the base and then go with the new hitch # BWRVK3715 and you'd be ready to tow.

    Hey Eric. Congrats on the new truck! To replace the base on a B&W Companion item # BWRVK3670 that fits the Ram puck system you'll need one of the following parts: GM Factory Puck System Compatible Sliding Base - Replacement Slider Base item # BWRVB3775 GM Factory Puck System Compatible Standard Base - Replacement Base item # BWRVB3715 Both of these bases will only fit the GM factory puck system on a 2020 GMC Sierra 2500.

  • Weight Of The B&W Companion OEM # BWRVK3715 Base And Head
    Hi Grant, The B&W Companion OEM 5th Wheel Hitch # BWRVK3715 would be a fit for a 2025 GMC Sierra 3500's puck system. The base # BWRVB3715 weighs 87lbs and the head # BWRVC3006 weighs 70lbs. This is designed for an 8' bed so if you have a short bed you'll want to switch to the slider base version # BWRVK3775 for more turning clearance so that the trailer won't come into contact with the cab of the truck. The slider base # BWRVB3775 weighs quite a bit more at 181lbs so you would definitely...

  • Do I Need To Use A Sliding 5th Wheel Hitch For 2024 Chevy 3500 Short Bed?
    Hello Russell, good question. We typically recommend the slider for any bed shorter than 8', but it may not be necessary. It really just comes down to your specific truck and trailer combination. With some campers the nose is rounded which helps with turning clearance and the slider is not needed. We are actually seeing this more and more with newer truck where the slider is not needed, even with the short bed. The best way to determine this without buying the hitch and hooking everything...

  • Converting B&W Companion From Ford Puck System to 2025 GMC Sierra 3500 Prep Package
    Hey Richard! Great question. All you have to do is swap out the base to make it compatible with the prep package in your 2025 GMC Sierra 3500. If you still have a short bed and need the slider the correct base is the # BWRVB3775. If you have a long bed and need the fixed base it is the # BWRVB3715. If you have any other questions don't hesitate to reply below.

  • Converting Old B&W Companion 5th Wheel Hitch To Work With OEM Puck Prep Package On 2021 GMC Sierra
    A solution for you is to get the Replacement Base For B&W Companion 5th Wheel Hitches # BWRVB3715. This will work with your factory puck system and will leave your bed rail-less whenever you don't have your hitch in the bed. Another solution is to get an adapter rail for your new 2021 GMC Sierra 3500. Use the Demco 5th Wheel Rail Adapter for Chevy/GMC OEM 5th Wheel Towing Prep Package # DM6333. This will utilize your factory puck system on your Sierra and will allow you to use your...

  • How to Convert B&W Companion 5th Wheel Hitch For Puck System in 2020 GMC Sierra 3500
    It looks like your 2020 GMC Sierra 3500 has the factory prep package with the puck system, and there is a solution for you to convert your B&W Companion # BWRVK3500 to fit those pucks, but there isn't an adapter because of the unique mounting of that Companion in the square gooseneck of the Turnoverball. So what you will need to do instead is replace the base with the Companion base that fits your '20 Sierra 3500's pucks. Since the Companions use the same head assembly, you an use either...

  • Will B&W Companion Head from 20k Hitch Fit 25k Base for 2024 GMC Sierra 3500
    The head # BWRVC3006 you have now has a 25,000 lb GTW so it is compatible with the higher rated base # BWRVB3715. As far as the settings go, it might not be the same as it was for your old setup. There are a lot of factors, especially on the truck, so it depends on both the truck and the trailer. To determine the correct setting you will need to park your truck on level ground. Use your landing gear/trailer jacks to level your 5th wheel. Measure from the ground to the bottom of the king...

  • Replacement Base for a B&W Companion TurnoverBall 5th Wheel Hitch to Work w/ GM Puck System
    We do not because that does not exist. Your B&W Companion Hitch item # BWRVK3500 is only compatible with B&W's Turnoverball systems due the square receiver you are referencing. The only way to make this hitch compatible with the puck system in your new 2024 Chevy Silverado 3500 is to swap out the base with item # BWRVB3715. The Replacement Base item # BWRVB3715 has the mounting legs built into the bottom that mount to the four in bed pucks of the GM factory puck system. It allows you to...

    Since your 2020 Chevrolet Silverado 1500 does not have the option for a factory prep/puck system you will be better switching to the B&W Companion OEM 5th Wheel Hitch # BWRVK3715. This will drop into the factory pucks on your 2024 Chevrolet Silverado 3500 long bed dually. The Base # BWRVB3405 you have on your B&W Companion Slider # BWRVK3400 is very large and bulky and if you were to transfer your current Head # BWRVC3006 to either the 20K Base # BWRVB3710 or 25K Base # BWRVB3715 you...

The only way to convert an existing standard B&W Companion for use with the Chevy/GMC puck system is by replacing the base with a Companion base that fits your puck system.

This combination will give you the B&W 25K Companion # BWRVK3715. You might consider getting the entire hitch as it will be much easier to sell your 20K Hitch # BWRVK3710 to offset some of the cost of the stronger 25K 5th wheel hitch.
