Quiet, Secure Ride

B&W Companion OEM Ram Jaw

The 1" thick jaw on the Companion OEM 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 OEM Ram 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 OEM 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".


Installation of the B&W Companion OEM

To install the Companion OEM, first set up the Companion's pivot arms. The 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 the cab clearance needed to execute turns while towing.


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.


B&W Companion OEM Ram Feet

Then, when the hitch head is fully assembled, simply place the hitch in the bed of your truck, lining the base up with the receiver sockets in the bed. Rotate all 4 handles on the hitch base out so that the built-in puck receivers are in the correct position to install in the sockets. Once the base is lined up, fold the handles in until they are in the locked position and secure them with the included pins.


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.

Its a beautiful hitch ... Its in the Texas weather and looks like brand new .was a good choice..

The shipper’s had issues with the box it wouldn’t fit on their conveyor belts the outside of the box was dinged up pretty good and the other two boxes were together but undamaged the frame took a few dings where it rattled around in the trailer to me.

It works well with my 31 foot RV I use a plastic washer on top of the pivot latch jaws. It connects well to the trailer and I’ve only had to hold the trailer brakes a few times to disconnect from it.

Its still going strong and still very impressive



by:

Arrived a day earlier than expected. Good thing! Box was opened and taped together. Luckily the only thing missing was 1 safety pin. Due to the weight and box conditions ups driver was going to roll it off the back of the truck until I showed up to help.
Overall, simple assembly and installation. Perfect fit for '24 Ram 3500.



by:

This is my first 5th wheel hitch - and I couldn’t be happier with this purchase. The hitch is super solid, nice positive close when connecting, and a lot of confidence while towing. It’s extremely heavy but I wanted that underneath my rig.

Simple and quick installation into my Ram’s puck system.

etrailer delivered quickly and it arrived in perfect condition.

Towing a 43’ Riverstone at 21K GVWR.



by:

Pros: Simple to operate (once installed). I like the way the locking arm engages when you back into the kingpin. Very little (or no) chucking. Due to heavy construction, provides a bit more confidence especially towing 20K.
Cons: HEAVY (and for the Ram puck version) extra large base taking up even more truck bed. Top portion is relative easy for one person to install/remove. The bottom portion is a whole new ballgame. Definitely two man operation to install bottom. Locking levers never "engaged" in exactly the way described in the literature but after calling tech support, I'm OK with it.
Would give 5 stars if it wasn't so dang big and heavy :(

Only complaint is the overall weight and the size of the base. Ram 3500 puck system. Works flawlessly.

2017 Dodge Ram Pickup

Love it. I took it out of the box, walked it over to my truck, and set into the openings in my truck bed and turned the handles and put pins in and I didn't even have to adjust it it was perfectly tight. Put the two pieces on to hold the top piece and added a little Grease and it was ready to go. I have a 2017 Ram 3500 4 X4 long bed with airbags and mounted it forward and up all the way. I'm pulling an 18000 pound fifth wheel with flex-air king pin and it rides perfectly. PERFECTLY. I'M very happy with the quality of build and ease of use.

Pulled through Tallahassee, Birmingham, Memphis, Little Rock, Shreveport, Mobile and Monticello and it is a comfortable, well-built, easy to use hitch. Etrailer also gets my recommendations regularly.



by:
2019 Dodge Ram Pickup

Everybody I've ever spoken to said B&W was the best and I believe it. With the help of a friend, this installation took an hour or so. I did open up one of the holes on a corner latch to accommodate a padlock in place of a locking pin. Otherwise very little adjustment was necessary on my 2019 Ram 2500. I set this one up 2"behind the axle and the second hole from the top. This setting worked out OK for my Montana HC 305RL

Hey thank you for the picture. I am sorry that the entire order has not been delivered. I will have our Customer Service team reach out to you.

Struggled between the choice of the Reese 27K, the CURT 25K and this one. The Reese does not seem to hold up (ascetically) well over time, the CURT seems spindly and is now a Lippert product - that's a black mark, and this one is just a big, heavy block of welded steel. Its also the most expensive of the three. I like what I see so far in the B&W, although I don't know for sure if the other two possible choices could be good or even been better in the long run.



by:
Dodge Ram Pickup

Love the B&W hitches, this is my second one. First was the companion to the turnover ball. That one was a little smaller and lighter for installing and removing. This one is with the Ram puck system, a little bigger, heavier and more awkward installing and removing. Mostly leave in now until I fabricate some sort of system. With that being said size and weight is no fault of B&W as you had to work with the Ram puck system. Overall I am happy with the hitch any complaints I have are with Ram.

Just got my new companion hitch for Ram pick system. Easy to follow assembly and adjustment instructions. The folks at etrailer were very helpful and kept me updated with the progress. Fast shipping ordered on Sunday received on Wednesday. 5 stars all around.

WOW.....I consider myself pretty handy but between the instructions and youtube...this installation was simple. Very solid....so very impressed.....I have a rubber mat in my bed and it took longer to cut holes put than installing the 5th wheel....I just can't say enough good things about this hitch. Thank YOU B&W for building such quality products.



by:
2024 Ram 2500

Installed the hitch in my Ram 2500 crew cab with the 6ft bed with the factory puck system. Still have plenty of clearance with my 5th wheel and the height of the hitch is about the same as my slider BW hitch was.



by:

Great experience! Called first to ensure the hitch I wanted was in stock due to shortages and delays in shipping from other companies. The associate I talked to was very helpful and ensured I was ordering the right hitch for my truck. I ordered it on a Monday morning and received two of the three boxes the following Monday. The last box arrived on Tuesday. Due to the parts being so heavy, there was some damage to the cardboard boxes but after a quick inspection, all parts were accounted for and free of damage. I installed everything on my truck by myself in about an hour. Only minor adjustments were needed to lock it down. Everything fit perfectly and the instructions were clear and easy to follow. I'll try it out for the first time this weekend when I pick up my new 42' 5th wheel camper. The quality of the B&W Companion 25K is outstanding! Built rock solid. I highly recommend this hitch! Great product and even better service from etrailer.com! Only recommendation is that the instructions should include a list of required tools for the install. Would have saved me some time jumping in and out of the bed of my truck. Thanks again!

A beast! Installation was straight forward, and was able to do it by myself, although I would recommend having a second person to help you lift the base into the truck bed. Very well made, and seems easy to use.



by:

Definitely worth the money, this is hands down the nicest fifth wheel I’ve owned or used before. Great construction, very strong, easy to set up. B&W will definitely be the brand I’ll choose from now on and I will definitely buy from etrailer again. Great customer service, fast shipping, and the best price I could find anywhere for this hitch.



by:

Overall very pleased with product quality and functionality. Less hitching and noise compared to my previous Reese. Perfect for the 16k trailer. Only improvement I can think of would be safety catch for main latching handle. Stock only has safety pin.

This has been a great hitch and easy to install. E trailer made the buying process simple.

Richard

After a year of traveling the hitch is still performing like new. The one thing I like is how easy it is to hook up and when towing it does not have any play like others that can have a clunking sound and feel when starting and stopping. Plus when I need to use the bed of the truck it is easy to remove.



by:

So far it has been great! Being 65yrs old I was apprehensive about trying to assemble and load the hitch with just my wife to help. I remedied that by loading everything into the bed of my truck, including my tools and assembled it in place. Not being up to speed on RAMs puck system I did not know what to expect. I assembled the hitch, torqued it to spec and it dropped into place with out further adjustments or fanfare. I pull a 34' 5th wheel and don't even know it is back there. Hitching and unhitching is a breeze with very little learning curve. That says a lot since my learning curve more resembles a U-turn. Thank you B&W for a great hitch, thank you etrailers for a great deal.

Deloyd M.

We are very impressed with the B&W hitch. My wife and I both hitch and unhitch without any problems. Ill say it again. Thanks B&W for a great hitch and thanks etrailer for a great deal.



by:

Overall the B&W Companion seems to be a nice unit, but disappointing that it arrived a little beatup with chips and a nice scratch. It arrived before the truck did so the unboxing waited a couple weeks. Guess I should have unboxed right away instead of waiting until I needed to install it.

The install was fairly easy and uneventful since lifting it into the bed may have been the hardest part. It look about an hour including tie to track down various tools and supplies. With the OEM pucks in our new Ram 3500 it didn't take many tools to complete the install and since the camper isn't here I'll probably get to use some of the tools again when I find out the middle height isn't quite right for the trailer, but at least adjusting the height and position is pretty straight-forward. It's heavy enough (probably good since it will pull some weight) and takes up enough space that it may not get removed very often unless a 2nd strong back is available regualrly. Depending on how often we use the camper, maybe the hitch will only come out in the winter and go back in come spring.

We'll need to add a lock or two so the hitch doesn't wander off since it's so easy to remove that a couple strong backs could easily make off with it.

Dodge Ram Pickup

This is the ideal hitch for my Ram 2500 MegaCab. The MegaCab does not allow for a long bed and my RamBox setup causes issues with traditional fifth wheel setups so I needed to go with the Reese Sidewinder but was looking for the ideal hitch set up for my factory prep kit. This heavy duty hitch is the perfect combination and installs easily. Most importantly when used in conjunction with the Sidewinder I can make incredibly tight turns with plenty of room to spare.

etrailer support was fantastic.

Working great. We have used this for one year and exceeds all my expectations. Easy to remove and install and really solid. Great purchase.



by:

I am super happy with this hitch, its very robust! I used this in conjunction with a Gen-y executive 5th wheel pin box. I am super happy with the construction, ease of use, shipping time, installation procedure. would buy again if I had to.

Great hitch, easy to use! Would recommend to anyone towing a 5th wheel.

2018 Dodge Ram Pickup

I love the quality of this hitch. Its worth the extra money and I love that fact that is made in USA. Very well made and hopefully will be the last hitch I ever buy. Install was easy and took about an hour. I have a 2018 Ram 3500 with the tow prep package and the hitch dropped right in as advertised. As always, the folks at E Trailer are a pleasure to deal with. Communication with them was excellent and they did an awesome job ensuring that I received my hitch. Keep up the good work!!

  • Recommended Fifth Wheel Hitch For A 2023 Ram 2500 With OEM Puck System
    The puck system hasn't changed between the 2022 and 2023 models, our fitguide just needs to be updated to reflect every fit so you could essentially choose any puck style hitch for a 2022 Ram 2500 and it will fit your 2023. You could use a hitch like the Curt A16 5th Wheel Trailer Hitch for Ram Towing Prep Package # C16520-16021, which will drop right into your pucks for an easy installation and has a 16,000lb capacity. Personally, I prefer B&W when it comes to quality and ride quality...

  • Fifth Wheel Hitch Recommendation for 2018 Ram 2500 that is Smooth and Quiet
    A lot of people refer to the B and W Companion hitches as the gold standard of fifth wheel hitches so you can't go wrong with the part # BWRVK3600. What people rave about this hitch is how quiet and smooth it is as well as how well it's proven itself over the years as being super reliable. The only other hitch that rivals it is the Demco UMS part # DM67GV which also is knowing to be really quiet and smooth. It's a newer design so it's maybe not as proven but it's jaw design, cushioning...

  • 5th Wheel Trailer Hitch Options For A 2019 Ram 3500 With CM ER Bed
    To be able to install a B&W Companion, like the # BWRVK3050, you would have to remove your current gooseneck hitch and have part # BWGNRK1500 welded in place of it. If that's more than you'd like to do then you could use the Demco Recon Gooseneck-to-5th Wheel Trailer Hitch Adapter for Recessed Ball # DM8550046 instead and connect to your current gooseneck ball.

  • Recommended 5th Wheel Trailer Hitch For A 2016 Ram 2500 With Ram Boxes
    Since you have Ram boxes the pivot point for your trailer needs to be at the back on the pin box otherwise it could potentially hit the Ram boxes when making a turn. The B&W Companion OEM 5th Wheel Hitch for Ram Towing Prep Package # BWRVK3600 would work if you have the OEM puck system built into the bed. If not then you'll need to use the B&W Patriot 5th Wheel Trailer Hitch # BWRVK3255 and some base rails # BWRVK2602 in order to mount the hitch to the truck. If your trailer doesn't already...

  • Best Fifth Wheel Hitch For A 2024 Ram 3500 Long Bed With The Factory Prep Package
    For your 2024 Ram 3500 Long Bed with the Factory Prep I recommend the B&W Companion 5th Wheel Hitch # BWRVK3600. This is a 25,000 lb rated hitch, so it will be plenty strong for your fifth wheel at just under 20K. My favorite thing about this hitch is the dual jaw. The design makes it easy to open and close, and it provides excellent king pin contact. This makes for a much smoother ride and less chucking. The head is also fully articulating, which makes for simple hook-up and release, even...

  • Recommended 5th Wheel Hitch For A 2021 Ram 2500 With Puck System And Turning Point Pin Box
    Because your trailer has a Turning Point pin box and your Ram has a 6.5' bed I do recommend going with a fixed hitch and using the Turning Point as a rotating pin box to give yourself enough turning clearance. With you also having a puck system the best option is going to be the B&W Companion OEM 5th Wheel Hitch for Ram Towing Prep Package # BWRVK3600. It's a bit overkill in terms of capacity but it won't require an additional adapter to connect to the pucks . B&W is known for their quality...

    Both the B&W Slider # BWRVK3670 and Fixed # BWRVK3600 will fit in the factory prep/puck system that you have in your 2022 Ram 2500 short bed. A sliding hitch is generally used so that if you get into a tight place as most campgrounds are you will be able to make full jack knife turns with your trailer. A fixed hitch will limit your turning as the hitch pin will be to close to your cab and risk contacting the cab against the corners of the trailer when maneuvering the trailer. If you have...

  • Can A B&W Companion OEM 5th Wheel Hitch Be Transferred From A Ram To A Ford
    Ram and Ford have different spacings for their puck systems so you would need to swap out the base in order to transfer from the Ram spacing to the Ford spacing. The # BWRVK3300 you referenced is the model for Ford's puck spacing and the # BWRVK3600 would be the Ram spacing. If you have the # BWRVK3600 you would just need to swap out the base with part # BWRVB3300 to be compatible with your Ford's puck spacing.

This will come with a generic wedge kit, but the # SWW-06 will be a better option to go with the B&W 5th wheel hitch you were looking at before.

    For your Ram 3500 and B&W Companion OEM 5th Wheel Hitch for Ram Towing Prep Package # BWRVK3600 you have a few options. My recommendation because you will be towing multiple trailers is to install it slightly to the cab side of the axle and on the 18 inch height setting.

    Great question, Jason. The jaws on the BW Companion # BWRVK3600 don't overlap like the A25 # C16046, but they are a massive 1" thick and have never had a problem keeping hold of the king pin. I personally like the jaw system of the Demco UMS # DM67GV the most because of the single jaw with that extra piece to keep it centered as well as the 3/4" bar just for peace of mind. All 3 of these 5th wheel hitches are top-notch and provide great performance. Although I like the Demco design a...

  • Can B&W Companion Hitch Head be Swapped to RAM B&W Companion Base System
    What you could do is swap the head of your hitch to the base system part # BWRVB3600 which will fit directly to your 2017 Ram 3500. This will essentially give you the # BWRVK3600 which is the complete hitch for your truck. One other thing to consider is what to do with your old setup. If you remove the head it may be harder to sell second-hand. I'd imagine selling the hitch as a whole would pretty easy as it's such a popular model.

    For a 2018 Ram 3500 with the puck system, the absolute cream of the crop as far as fifth wheel hitches goes would be the USA manufactured B&W Companion, part # BWRVK3600. The extremely durable Companion's best features are the 1 inch thick jaw that holds the king pin very tightly for smooth and comfortable ride and the non-binding latch handle that makes it easy to operate the hitch jaws even if you aren't parked on perfectly flat and even terrain.

    The B and W part # BWRVK3600 will be your best option. Companion hitches are basically the nicest hitches available as you know so I would not recommend a Curt over it. Realistically your rear suspension will sag slightly to allow the trailer to tow level, but in case it won't you can also raise or lower the pin box on the trailer frame to make height adjustments that way too.

    The best advice I can give in this situation is to first know the towing capacity of your 2017 Ram 3500. Because the last thing you want to do is have everything all picked out only to find that the gross trailer weight is too much for the truck. Considering the truck though there probably aren't a lot of trailers that would weigh too much but it is better safe than sorry. Next you will want to look at hitches and trailers. If the hitch is rated lower than the truck capacity then you must...

    We do have some different options when it comes to a base for the B&W Companion 5th wheel hitch that is compatible with your 2018 Ram 3500. If you have a 6-1/2' bed you will want to go with the slider base so that you can avoid trailer-to-cab damage when making tight turns. That is listed as part # BWRVB3670 on our site. For an 8' bed you will just need a stationary base which can be found as part # BWRVB3600 on our site. You can order one of the used stationary bases that is currently...

  • Sidewinder and Fifth Wheel Hitch Recommendation for New Ram Towing Vilano 5th Wheel
    Since your 5th wheel trailer has a Lippert 1621 pin box there is a Reese Sidewinder that will fit it as part # RP34FR.

  • Fifth Wheel Hitches Available to Fit the Factory Hitch Prep of a 2015 Ram 3500 8 ft Bed
    We have a few fifth wheel hitches that were specifically designed to fit the hitch prep package of your 2015 Ram 3500 with an 8 foot bed such as the following: Curt 20k Hitch part # C16530-16021 Curt 24K Hitch part # C16545-16021 Curt 16k Hitch part # C16520-16021 Since you said 16k this might be your best option.

  • 2017 Ram 2500 5th Wheel Hitch Recommendation for RamBoxes
    Thanks for reaching out! Normally we do recommend a sliding 5th wheel hitch like the B&W Companion # BWRVK3670 for a short bed truck but since you have the RamBoxes on your 2017 Ram 2500 we need to prevent the body of the pin box from moving so it doesn't ram into the sides of your truck bed during turns. Instead what you need is a stationary 5th wheel hitch and a Reese Sidewinder pin box that has a rotating turret. For a 5th wheel hitch I recommend the B&W Companion # BWRVK3600 and Wedge...

  • Hitch Cover that Can Fit B and W Companion Hitch for Ram Rail Kit
    The best option we have for a fifth wheel cover for a B and W Companion hitch for Ram pucks # BWRVK3600 is the part # CA80116. It doesn't cover all of the hitch like you can see in the attached picture but it covers the head and jaw mechanisms which would be the most important to keep protected.
