When space gets tight backing into a campsite or gas station, that built-in slider gives you 12" of front-to-back travel to create the clearance you need. The movement shifts your trailer’s pivot point away from the cab so you can maneuver without worry about contact at slow speeds. It’s a simple mechanical design that solves one of the biggest challenges of towing in tight spots.
The dual jaws on this hitch are 1" thick and wrap completely around the king pin for 360-degree contact. That full-wrap design helps eliminate rattle and movement that you can feel in the seat when towing heavy. You get a clean, solid hookup every time—and when you hit rough roads, it stays quiet instead of clanking and jerking.
Hooking up on uneven ground is no problem thanks to the cam-action latching handle. The handle design resists binding so you can release even if your truck or trailer isn’t perfectly level. Pull the handle, drive slightly forward, and the jaws will open smoothly. A simple pin and clip secure the handle closed, or swap in a 5/16" padlock for added security.
The hitch head pivots both front to back and side to side to follow your trailer’s movement naturally. Polyurethane bushings sit between the pivot arms and head to dampen bumps and noise, cutting down on chucking over rough pavement. The result is a smoother, more stable ride that feels solid mile after mile.
Getting your trailer level is key for towing stability, and this hitch makes it easy with three height settings between 17" and 19". That small but critical range lets you match your trailer’s height while keeping proper bed rail clearance. Once dialed in, it stays locked tight so you can focus on the road ahead instead of second-guessing your setup.

After towing with this for 5000 miles plus it was great with no chucking or noise!

I have gotten in contact with the manufacturer and they have recommended that you need to make sure the bolts on the upright arms are torqued every time that you tow. The torque value on those are 110ft-lbs. If those are torqued, we suggest that you unlock the cams prior to coupling the trailer. Once the trailer is coupled, you can lock in the cams and place the safety loops in the handles.

It has been an excellent hitch. It is solid, strong and well constructed. Operation is smooth and reliable. I had to rig up a place on the rear of the frame to attach an emergency brake cable. This would be a good product improvement for B&W to consider. Very satisfied with this hitch.

This hitch is easy on and easy off. There are grease fittings easy to access and only a few times a year. It’s a quiet ride and easy to operate. Outstanding purchase. Again, highly recommend this product and seller.
