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.

  • Does 2020 GMC Sierra 3500 Short Bed Need Slider Hitch to Tow 2016 Solitude 321RL
    I checked out your 2016 Solitude 321RL and since it has a tapered nose and an extended pin box you wouldn't need a slider hitch installed in the bed of your 2020 GMC Sierra 3500. You could use the B and W Companion Fixed Hitch for GM rail kit part # BWRVK3715 and you'd have the best fifth wheel hitch available for your truck as it's very easy to use, reliable, and also made in the USA.

  • Is The Placement OF GM's OEM Puck System Supposed To Sit Behind The Axle
    Hey Jerry, GM moved the placement of their puck systems starting with 2020 models so you are correct that the pucks would have the hitch not sit directly over the axle. GM did the math and made sure that this placement wouldn't adversely affect your towing ability so it's totally fine as is. Moving the weight towards the front of the truck helps distribute the weight between the the front and rear axles, whereas being behind the rear axle and closer to the tailgate will place more weight...

    No worries, we have what you need. Since you have the 6-3/4 foot bed with OEM Prep Pkg/Puck System, you want the B&W Companion OEM 5th Wheel Hitch w/ Slider for Chevy/GMC Towing Prep Package, # BWRVK3775.

  • Will B&W Companion BWRVK3715 Fit 2025 GMC Sierra 2500HD 6'10" Bed With Factory Puck System?
    Hello Jeff, thanks for reaching out. Yes, the B&W Companion OEM 5th Wheel Hitch # BWRVK3715 will indeed fit your 2025 GMC Sierra 2500HD 6'10" bed with the factory puck system. We do recommend the slider hitch # BWRVK3775 for the short bet models, but the fixed hitch # BWRVK3715 will fit as well. The puck spacing is exactly the same between the short bed and long bed models. The slider is recommended to help with clearance on tight turns, but it may not be necessary depending what camper...

  • Recommended Sliding 5th Wheel Hitch for a 2024 Chevy Silverado 2500 w/ the Factory Puck System
    Congrats on the new truck! Yes, we do have a B&W 5th wheel hitch for the short bed trucks. It is the B&W Companion OEM 5th Wheel Trailer Hitch item # BWRVK3775. This sliding hitch will mount directly to the puck system of your short bed Silverado 2500. The Companion Slider has a 20,000 lbs capacity and will give you 12" of travel for making tight turns and backing. The Companion's 1" thick dual jaws will give you a 360-degree jaw to kingpin contact. This system minimizes the chucking,...

  • 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...

  • Is Reese M5 Available for 2020 Chevy Silverado 2500
    There are a few reasons why you are having problems finding the Reese M5 hitch as a fit for your 2020 Chevy Silverado 2500. The first is that it looks like you input that you have a 6-3/4' bed with the OEM Prep Package. While that is an excellent option, Reese hasn't released a sliding M5 hitch as of yet (March 2020). We do have the 20K M5 # RP30928 that fits standard base rails but you'll need the adapter # DM6333 to make it compatible and we only really recommend stationary hitches...

  • 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.

  • How to Gain Additional Height With Curt 5th Wheel Hitch at Max Height Setting
    Hi Doug; to gain additional height you will either need to adjust the height setting of your pin box or raise your trailer. There isn't an add-on for the 5th wheel hitch to raise it up any further. If your pin box can't be lowered anymore then you can use the Correct Track Trailer Alignment and Lift Kit # RR23QX. This will raise your trailer height by 1-1/4" or 2-1/4". Alternatively, you could switch to a taller 5th wheel hitch like the B&W Companion # BWRVK3715 and sell your old Q25....

  • 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...

  • B&W Companion Fifth Wheel Hitch that Fits 2020 GM OEM Fifth Wheel Rail Kit in Chevy and GMC Truck
    GM changed the puck dimension from the year 2019 to 2020 but prior to that the size and fifth wheel fits are all the exact same. The B and W Companion part # BWRVK3715 is a fit for the new puck design in 2020 but if you had a OEM rail kit made earlier than that you'd need the part # BWRVK3700 instead.

  • Can B and W Patriot Hitch be Used in 2025 GMC Sierra 3500 with OEM Hitch Prep
    Hey Bryan, as long as the Patriot hitch you have is the non-slider version you can use the Curt adapter part # C88KR. If you have the slider Patriot there isn't an adapter available and only solution would be a new hitch like the B and W Companion part # BWRVK3715. How do you like the Patriot though? Most of the feedback we have on it is that people really like it.

  • Adapting B&W Patriot 5TH Wheel Hitch For GM Factory Puck System On a 2023 GMC Sierra 3500HD
    I do have a way you can use your B&W Patriot 5th Wheel Trailer Hitch # BWRVK3255 on your 2023 GMC Sierra 3500HD with the factory puck/prep in bed hitch system. The Patriot Head # BWRVC3200 is only compatible with the Patriot line and not the Companion. The Adapter Rails # C88KR will mount to the 4 outer mounting points in your bed and provide you with the mounts for your Patriot 5th wheel hitch. Do note this will raise the hitch 2-1/2" so you may need to lower your hitch head height to...

  • Does B and W Companion Hitch BWRVK3715 Fit 2020 GMC Sierra 3500 with OEM Rail Kit
    The B and W Companion Hitch part # BWRVK3715 does fit your 2020 GMC Sierra 3500 OEM rail kit. Now whether or not it's the correct hitch for you to use comes down to the nose shape of your trailer. If the trailer you have has a tapered nose you probably don't need additional turning clearance that a slider hitch would require. This is also due to fact your short bed is actually on the longer side of the short beds at 6-3/4 feet. But if you do need the turning clearance that a slider can...

  • 5th Wheel Hitch to Fit Directly Into OEM Pucks on 2020 Chevy Silverado 3500
    We have exactly what you're looking for in regards to the OEM puck system on your 2020 Chevy Silverado 3500! I highly recommend the B&W Companion because it uses 1" thick dual jaws that come together to provide 360 degrees of contact with your king pin along with a dual-cam action lever that makes disconnecting your 5th wheel trailer much easier on uneven terrain than other options. The Companion also has a fully articulating head, polyurethane bushings, and 6 different configurations...

  • Comparing Curt PowerRide and B&W Companion Hitches for a 2024 Chevy Silverado 3500 Puck System
    Both the 25K B&W Companion # BWRVK3715 and the 30K Curt PowerRide # C36WR are great options for the puck system on your 2024 Chevy Silverado 3500 long bed, but for your application I recommend the PowerRide since it has a higher weight rating. Both hitches provide excellent ride quality and performance. Since the PowerRide is rated higher it makes your towing setup a little more future proof in case you ever are looking to get a bigger 5th wheel trailer.
