The B&W hitch is great. The service from etrailer was not up to expectations. “In stock” should mean all parts of the order are in stock. I received box 1 of 2 and had to call to point out that only half the order was sent. All in all, it took 3 weeks to receive my complete order, not the 4 days that was outlined during the transaction.

I like that this slider base is compatible with the head unit from the non slider base I have. It came very packaged with no damage. Installation was very simple. I had the misfortune of having to do a jackknife turn with my 5th wheel trailer, resulting in a smashed rear window on my truck, should have known better. This slider base will eliminate that from happening again.

Great Base, it is heavy but anything well built is. I wanted a hitch that will last. Had to purchase the OEM Ford base to fit my reese elite that was on my 3500 Chevy silverado.

We have busted out 2 rear windows in the truck. We are hoping this will end that!!!

The B&W Companion slider hitch is a a quality American made product that performs as advertised. I have always used B&W products and they never fail to disappoint, they just work!!
I bought a Ford F-250 with the 6 1/2 ft bed and was concerned about cab to fifth wheel clearance issues. I seldom have neededthe slider but it’s nice to know it’s there if I do. There is no play and the sliding mechanism locks up easily and very solidly.
I am very happy with this product!

Super fast delivery, and everything was packaged perfectly. I would certainly buy from them again.
by: Thompson10/09/2018
I actually have not used the product yet but have installed it in my my vehicle. Will be using it in February and March 2019 on a trip that was scheduled for this year and had to be canceled. I can say at this time I am very satisfied at the easy installation of this product and will be very satisfied if it performs as well as the installation worked.

Installed in minutes. Works great after hook-up with fifth wheel.

I think my B & W hitch is great and wouldn't want any other kind.
by: Greg 07/18/2022
Product is excellent. Very durable and well made. Would recommend this product to anybody. Very happy!!!
by: Greg03/30/2022
It is heavy to put in and out, so that being said it is robust and works great.

view full answer... - Replacement B&W Companion Slider Base For 2019 Ford F-350 With Puck Prep PackageI have a slider base that fits your 2019 Ford F-350 with 6-3/4 ft bed with OEM puck system but the replacement base part # BWRVB3405 is the replacement base for the B&W companion that fits into a B&W Turnover gooseneck hitch ball hole.

view full answer... - What is the Difference Between the BWRVK3370 and the BWRVB3370The B&W Companion Hitch # BWRVK3370 is a complete sliding hitch that is designed to fit in the Ford OEM prep package. The Replacement Slider Base for B&W OEM 5th Wheel Trailer Hitch - Ford Towing Prep Package - 20K # BWRVB3370 is just the base of the hitch without the head and is used if you already have a Companion hitch and have switched from maybe a Chevy truck with the prep package to a Ford with the OEM prep package; it's just designed so that you don't have to buy a completely new...
view full answer... - Can B&W Companion Slider For Ford F-250 Prep Package Tow in Slide PositionIt cannot; here is what B&W states regarding using the Companion in the slide position (which they call the "maneuvering" position): "The maneuvering position is only intended for parking maneuvers and not for towing. Using the slider in any other capacity could result serious injury or death." This is actually true of all sliding hitches, as none of them can be used in the slide position. I also wanted to mention, just in the interest of being thorough, that the part you mentioned for...

- 2017 Ford F-350 Factory Gooseneck Compatibility with B&W Companion Slider Hitch The Replacement Slider Base for B&W Companion Slider 5th Wheel Trailer Hitch - 20,000 lbs # BWRVB3405 you have is not compatible with Ford's Gooseneck system or 5th Wheel system. You would need the Replacement Slider Base for B&W OEM 5th Wheel Trailer Hitch - Ford Towing Prep Package - 20K # BWRVB3370 for Ford's Factory Rail Kit (prep package) compatibility.
view full answer... - How to Install B and W Companion for Gooseneck Hitch in 2017 Ford F-350 with Factory Rail KitSince your customer has a 2017 Ford F-350 with a factory rail kit and a Companion hitch the only solution is to replace the base of the Companion with one that fits the factory rail kit.

- Can B&W Companion Head from Fixed Hitch be Installed on Slider Base for 2017 Ford F-350Our contacts at B&W have indicated that the heads for all of the Companion hitches are the same. That means you can use the head from a fixed Companion hitch and mount it to the slider base # BWRVB3405. If your 2017 Ford F-350 has the factory prep package with the 4 pucks then you would need # BWRVB3370 instead. If the truck just has a gooseneck hitch then make sure it is a B&W gooseneck hitch so you can use slider # BWRVB3405. If it is not a B&W gooseneck hitch then there isn't a base...
view full answer... - Compatibility of Ford Factory Prep Compatible Base With Older B&W Companion HeadThe B&W Companion head you already have is compatible with the Companion base for the Ford Factory Prep pucks.

view full answer... - Can I Adapt a Standard Companion SLider to use in an OEM Ford Prep PackageI have a solution for your but it does involve a new base unfortunately. You van use the Replacement Slider Base for B&W OEM 5th Wheel Trailer Hitch part # BWRVB3370 and your original head to create a full system for your truck. If I may though, A complete system like the B&W Companion OEM 5th Wheel Trailer Hitch w Slider for Ford Towing Prep Package part # BWRVK3370 includes the head and is generally more cost effective. At this point you could sell your used Companion that you have now...
view full answer... - How to Transfer B&W Companion Sliding 5th Wheel Hitch to Ford Super Duty Puck SystemYou can transfer your B&W Companion sliding 5th wheel hitch to your Ford Super Duty with the puck system, and in order to do that you will need to replace the base of the hitch, with the correct part being the following: - Replacement Slider Base for B&W OEM 5th Wheel Trailer Hitch - Ford Towing Prep Package # BWRVB3370 Since the head of the Companion is the same, the Replacement Base # BWRVB3370 is all that is needed to fit the puck system of your Ford.
view full answer... - B and W Companion Slider Recommendation for 2016 GMC Sierra 2500HD With Ford Elite Rail KitIf you have the Reese Elite underbed rail kit part # RP30868 installed in your 2016 GMC Sierra the correct slider B and W Companion is the part # BWRVB3370. This is the kit designed for Ford factory rail kits which are the exact same as the Reese Elite rail kits. The GM rail kit dimensions are much different. For the whole hitch assembly that includes the slider and the head you'd want the part # BWRVK3370.
view full answer... - Replacement Companion Bases for the Ford OEM Puck System There is a way to reuse the head of your current B&W Companion Hitch but you will need to replace the base with either the fixed Replacement Base item # BWRVB3300 or the Replacement Slider Base item # BWRVB3370. Both of these bases fit in the Ford factory puck system. There isn't an adapter that will allow you to use your Companion hitch in its current form in the Ford puck system. Another option is to sell your current Companion hitch and purchase one of the ones listed below that fit...
view full answer... - Can B and W Companion Fixed Hitch for Ford Trucks be Converted to Slider Hitch VersionYes you can swap the head from your Fixed Ford Rail Kit Companion # BWRVK3300 to the slider base for Ford trucks part # BWRVB3370 and you'd have essentially the slider version of your current hitch part # BWRVK3370. Something else you might consider though is that if you wanted to sell your old hitch setup it would be much easier to sell a complete hitch than just a base. So from that perspective you might prefer just going with the # BWRVK3370. I attached a couple install videos for...
view full answer... - B and W Companion Hitch that Fits 2017 Ford F-350 OEM Rail KitThe Companion and Patriot hitch heads are slightly different so you wouldn't be able to swap the base to use your current hitch head. You'd have to go with a new hitch altogether like the slider Companion for Ford rail kits part # BWRVK3370 or the fixed version # BWRVK3305. If the nose of your trailer is tapered then you could get away with a fixed hitch but if the nose is wider and square you'd need the slider hitch for turning clearance.
view full answer... - Is There a Sliding Base Available for the B&W Companion for a 2020 Ford F-250 w/ Prep PackageYes, there is a sliding base option available. The RVB3300 comes back to the Replacement Base for B&W Companion OEM 5th Wheel Trailer Hitch # BWRVB3300 which fits the Ford 5th Wheel Prep Package.

view full answer... - Can I Transfer Old B&W Companion Hitch to New Ford Super Duty with Factory Tow Prep PackageI do have a solution for you but there isn't an adapter or a pin that can be used to connect your B&W Companion 5th wheel hitch through the Gooseneck hole on your new Ford Super Duty truck with factory-installed towing prep package. The only solution is to use the fixed Replacement Base # BWRVB3300 with your existing B&W Companion head if you have a long bed or the Replacement Slider Base # BWRVB3370 if you have a short bed. Either one will drop in directly into the four pucks on a 2011...
view full answer... - Converting B&W Companion 5th Wheel Hitch to Use in Ford Super Duty Prep PackageYes, you can convert your standard B&W Companion 5th wheel hitch for use with the Ford Super Duty prep package. The B&W Companion hitches use the same hitch head, so all you will need to do is replace the base, which will allow you to mount the hitch in the Ford pucks and save you some cash so you don't have to buy a whole new hitch. I'm not sure if you need the sliding base or fixed base, so here are both options for you: - Replacement Base for B&W Companion OEM 5th Wheel Trailer Hitch...
view full answer... - How to Fit B&W Companion Hitch to OEM Puck System on 2019 Ford F-350 Super DutyIt sounds like you have the OEM puck system on your 2019 Ford F-350. While I do have a way for you to use your 20K Companion hitch with your OEM pucks, there isn't a way to fit the base of the Companion for the B&W gooseneck to a round gooseneck receiver like what your factory system has. Instead what you'll need to do is remove the head from your B&W Companion and then use the Slider Base # BWRVB3370 or the Fixed Base # BWRVB3300 to connect a full Companion 5th wheel hitch to your truck....
