The Companion OEM 5th Wheel Hitch w/ Slider is rated for a gross towing weight of 20,000 lbs and a vertical load limit of 5,000 lbs. Its gray powder-coated steel construction resists corrosion and delivers the kind of strength you need for long hauls with heavy 5th wheels. The solid base locks directly into the factory under-bed receivers, creating a secure foundation that stays firm over miles of highway and rough backroads alike.
This hitch’s 1" thick dual jaws wrap completely around the king pin to give you full 360-degree contact. That tight grip cuts down on rattle and chucking for a smoother, quieter ride. The polyurethane bushings between the pivot arms let the head move freely without metal-on-metal clanking, so every trip feels calm and controlled instead of harsh and noisy.

The cam-action latching handle makes coupling and uncoupling easier—especially when parked on uneven ground. Even if there’s pressure on the jaws, releasing the handle frees them up so you can simply drive forward to open the hitch. A pin and clip secure the handle in place when towing, or you can use a padlock with a 5/16" shackle diameter, 3" height, and 2-1/4" width for extra security.
For short-bed setups where clearance is tight during slow turns or backing up, the built-in slider provides up to 12" of front-to-back travel. That extra space between the cab and trailer helps prevent contact during sharp maneuvers. The slider operates smoothly so positioning your trailer is straightforward whether you’re pulling into a campsite or navigating a narrow lot.
Getting level towing height is simple with three adjustment points between 17" and 19". The pivot arms attach in different positions on the base to fine-tune both height and front-to-back placement. Once set, drop the base into the four receiver pucks, rotate the handles into place, pin them down, then mount the head with its two locking pins for a straightforward install that leaves your bed clear when removed.

I see you purchased this back in February, I really wish you would have reached out to us immediately so we could have done a reship. Not an issue though cause our friends at B&W will get you taken care of. Please look for a direct email from me.

Set-up looks fantastic Jimmy!! Glad you went with B&W as the others do not compare. Where did you go on your first trip?

Hey David. B&W does state in the instructions manual "Use of the slider mechanism should only be attempted while on smooth flat terrain." So not necessarily 100% level but you do need to be on smooth ground. I'm unsure what kind of ground you were sliding the 5th wheel back.

Overall, the hitch works well. It is still hard to make slider work even on level ground. Putting lithium grease on the slide rails has help.

GREAT!! B&W makes an awesome fifth wheel hitch for the GM prep package. I don’t use the slide every time but it’s assuring knowing it’s there if I feel I need it. E Trailer is the best!!

Man...That's a nice looking truck! Glad to know it's a perfect match even for the new 2025 Silverado 2500 HD! Have you had a trip to break in the new hitch?

I love the hitch but sometimes the jaws do not open up when I open up the handle. I dont know if its a bad spring. Or what? Thank you

It makes me so happy when I see our neighbors (customers) choose the best, and you did just that Todd! Where are you headed for the first trip with the new 5th wheel hitch?
