Simple Removal for Full Bed Access

B&W Companion Simple Removal

With the Companion from B&W, you get a heavy-duty fifth-wheel trailer hitch that mounts in your truck bed by connecting directly to a custom underbed mounting kit (sold separately) with the included components. No modifications are required to your truck or trailer. And no additional parts are required for the system to work. When you're done towing, the entire hitch can be removed for complete bed access.


Quiet, Secure Ride

The 1" thick jaw on the Companion is precision machined to provide a tight, sturdy connection. And unlike slide-bar models, the rounded 2-piece jaw on this fifth-wheel trailer hitch inhibits rattle and movement by securely wrapping around your trailer's king pin, resulting in easier hookup and a safer, quieter ride.


B&W Companion Bushings

In addition to the sturdy jaw, the Companion has durable polyurethane bushings built in to provide a smoother, more comfortable towing experience. These bushings sit on top of the pivot arms that support the fifth-wheel head. Because the head is resting on a padded area, it is able to pivot without clanking. The ability of the head to pivot - both front to back and side to side - along with the trailer also helps to limit the chucking that may occur with a more static hitch.


Non-Binding Latch Handle

The dual jaw on the Companion is operated by a simple-to-use cam-action handle. This handle allows you to quickly and easily release the jaws on the hitch, even if you are on uneven terrain. If any binding does occur between your truck and trailer, the jaws may remain closed after you move the handle to the open position. But because the handle is unlatched, there is nothing keeping the jaws closed except for the binding pressure. Therefore, simply driving your truck forward will be enough to force the jaws to open.


The cam-action handle is held in the closed position with the included pin and clip. For extra security, you can replace the pin with a sturdy padlock. The shackle on the lock you choose should have a diameter of 5/16", height of 3", and a width of 2-1/4".


Built-In Slider

Most often used on trucks with 6' beds, a slider helps to eliminate clearance problems during slow-speed turns. When you are towing a fifth-wheel trailer, your hitch must be situated on the cab side of your truck's rear axle. However, at slow speeds you can use a slider to slide the fifth-wheel hitch (and the trailer) toward your truck's tailgate and past the rear axle, creating enough space between the cab of your truck and the trailer to permit less-restricted turning.


The slider that is built into the base of the Companion allows for 12" of fore and aft travel to give you the clearance you need.


Assembly of the B&W Companion

The Companion's pivot arms are what allow the hitch to be adjusted front to back as well as up and down for optimal positioning. As a result, this hitch can accommodate the height of your trailer and also help to give you some additional cab clearance. To adjust either the height of the hitch or the fore/aft positioning, just attach the hitch's pivot arms in the desired location on the base.


The hitch head installs on top of the pivot arms. When you have the head in position, simply secure it to the arms with the included pins.

  • Recommended Fifth Wheel Hitch For A 2015 Ford F-250 Super Duty With B&W Gooseneck Hitch
    Based on the pictures you provided you most likely have the B&W Turnoverball Underbed Gooseneck Trailer Hitch w/ Custom Installation Kit - 30,000lbs # BWGNRK1111. You definitely lucked out having a B&W gooseneck hitch because you'll be able to just remove the ball and drop in a Companion hitch like the B&W Companion Gooseneck-to-5th-Wheel Trailer Hitch Adapter - Dual Jaw - 20,000lbs # BWRVK3500. This hitch will simply drop into the gooseneck hitch like your ball does and lock in place using...

  • Is There A Replacement Pin Box For The Lippert Rhino Box
    The new Rhino Box from Lippert currently has no replacements so you won't be able to swap out this pin box with a Sidewinder to add more turning clearance. Because of this you'll have to use a sliding 5th wheel hitch in your 6.5' bed to help prevent the nose your 5th wheel from coming into contact with the cab of your 2021 Ram 3500. Unfortunately since you have RamBoxes you will not be be able to tow a 5th wheel without using a rotating pin box and would not be able to tow a trailer with...

  • Below Bed 5th Wheel Installation Kit Needed For A 2000 Ford F-250
    Hey Judah, For below bed you would need to go with the B&W Turnoverball Underbed Gooseneck Trailer Hitch # BWGNRK1108 and then use either the fixed base Companion # BWRVK3500 or slider base Companion # BWRVK3400-5W depending on whether you have a long bed or short bed. If your bed is less than 8' then you'll want to go with the slider base to gain some additional turning clearance when making tight turns. This setup would also allow you to tow gooseneck trailers but removing the hitch...

  • Best 5th Wheel Hitch Setup For Full Bed Access On A 2011 Ford F350
    Hello Jonathan, thanks for reaching out. The best way to keep full bed access on your 2011 F350 will be to go with a B&W Tunoverball/Companion hitch setup. For your truck you can use # BWGNRK1111-5W for the installation kit and the # BWRVK3400-5W Companion 5th Wheel Hitch. There are a few big advantages to going with this setup. First, the installation kit is actually a B&W gooseneck hitch. So, with the hitch removed from the bed, you will still have the full bed at your disposal with...

  • How to Measure 5th Wheel Hitch Height for a 2023 GMC Sierra 3500 W/ a Short Bed
    Ok so in order to determine the correct height setting for your 5th wheel and your GMC Sierra 3500, you'd need to level your setup and measure from the ground to the bottom of the pin box and choose a height setting that gives you the most level ride (17" - 19" for the B&W Companion # BWRVK3400-5W you're looking at). Keep in mind that we recommend having at least 5-6" of space between the bed rails and your truck/trailer to make sure you don't have any contact between the two. Since...

  • Solution for Adding OEM Prep Package on 2024 Ram 3500
    Hello Melissa; the OEM prep package is not something we offer. If you really want the underbed puck system with the gooseneck hitch you will need to get it from the Mopar parts site or through a local dealer. Since you're planning on using a B&W Companion, I recommend the B&W Turnoverball Underbed Gooseneck Trailer Hitch # BWGNRK1320 instead. The B&W Turnoverball is a gooseneck hitch but also acts as the mounting point for the Companion. This will also mean less holes in the bed of the...

  • How to Determine Clearance for Gooseneck Hitch on 2016 Dodge Ram 2500
    You need to use the following calculation to find if you have enough clearance: (A + B) - C = Clearance A = Distance from the gooseneck ball to the truck cab B = Offset used C = Width of the nose of the trailer divided by 2. So your A is 35" and C is 48" which means right now Clearance = -13". You really want A to be 4" more than C so in this case you need a 17" offset. Even if you combine an offset ball with an offset adapter you aren't going to be able to get to 17" or even 13". The...

  • Troubleshooting 5th Wheel Chucking with Andersen Ultimate Gooseneck Hitch
    The Andersen Ultimate is a nice option for being lightweight, but it is not any help with chucking as you described. It has absolutely no built in assistance for that function. You are pulling a really big trailer, so the chucking will be worse with that than a lightweight 5th wheel because there is simply more momentum so you will feel it more. There really isn't a way to help with the chucking you are experiencing with that particular hitch as air ride will definitely help some but...

  • What Capacity 5th Wheel Hitch Is Needed To Tow A Keystone Montana High Country 5th Wheel Trailer
    Hey Gary, The rule of thumb with towing is to only use about 80-85% of the total capacity to leave a 10-15% buffer for safety. Using this method a 20k rated fifth wheel hitch would be good for trailer's with a GVWR up to around 16,000 - 17,000lbs. I would check the white sticker that should be on the driver's side of the trailer at the front for the GVWR. Since you have a 6-1/2' bed you'll want to go with a sliding base hitch like the B&W Companion 5th Wheel Trailer Hitch w/ Slider...

  • Under Bed 5th Wheel Installation Kit and Hitch for a 2017 Ford F-250 4x4 with 6-1/2 Foot Bed
    There are below the bed 5th wheel installation kits for the 2017 Ford F-250; just not any Reese kits. The reason for that is Reese makes the factory under bed install kit for Ford so they tend not to release an aftermarket kit right away (or at all in some cases) which gives Ford exclusivity to it. If you do not already have a Reese Elite Series hitch then you can go with one of the other under bed kits and a hitch for it. I would need to know the bed length of your truck and if it is...

    Hi Eric; I'm not sure where you saw that but we have had other customers successfully install the # BWRVK3400-5W without any issues. If the design of the bed on your 2006 GMC Sierra 2500 would not allow the installation of the Companion we wouldn't list it as an option and B&W would have notes saying the Companion is not compatible. You can definitely use this 5th wheel hitch with your truck.

The odds are that if you cannot physically see the hitch or pucks in the bed, then you do not have the prep package. I have attached a photo of what your bed would look like if you had a factory prep package on a 2012 Ford F-350.

  • Recommendation for a 2014 Ram 2500 Short Bed To Navigate Tight Campground Turns
    I can help you navigate those tight turns in your 2014 Ram 2500. Since the Convert-A-Ball Cushioned 5th-Wheel-to-Gooseneck Adapter # CAB-C5GX1216 that you referenced does not move the pivot point further back you really do not gain much clearance for tight turns with a short bed truck. Also, if you use an offset adapter like this you can not use an additional offset adapter like the B and W extender you referenced. This would cause too much leverage on the trailer. Instead I would highly...
