Upgraded to the 25K model. I bought a heavier fifth wheel and realized my 20K version would be overloaded. Luckily, the coupler is the same for both versions so I was able to buy the 25K base only which saved about $500. Don’t make the same mistake I made. If you’re ever unsure, just spend the extra $200 for the complete 25K hitch package! I’ve had my B & W hitch for a while now and it’s far superior to anything else on the market! If you’re on the fence between the B & W and other brands, go with the B & W! etrailer shipped fast and I’m ready to get on the road with my 22,000lb fifth wheel!!

Easy to order with very helpful staff. Arrived on time, had one bent safety keeper that I was able to straighten. Installation in my 2024 GMC 3500 was very straight forward and took about an hour. I set the uprights one hole above the bottom and have about 8” of bed clearance.

Arrived on time, assembly went smooth, little adjustment on locking dogs,overall satisfied with the product

The new base fit my 2023 GMC 2500 perfectly. B&W couldn’t verify if this was the correct model for the 2023 GMC but etrailer said it would fit and they were dead on. Thanks etrailer!

- Replacement Base for B&W Companion 5th Wheel Trailer Hitch for OEM Prep System for Chevy/GMCWe do have the replacement base for B&W Companion 5th wheel trailer hitch, # BWRVB3715 available. This is a confirmed fit for the 2020, 2021 Chevy/GMC with the OEM puck system and your companion head. Please see the attached product review video.
view full answer... - Fitting Fifth Wheel Hitch from Ford Truck with Factory Pucks into 2020 Chevy with Factory PucksChevy's and Ford's puck systems are not the same. That goes for other truck models as well. If you already own a hitch for one model of truck you can often purchase just the base for the new truck's system and reuse the head from your current hitch. For example, if you have the B&W Companion for a Ford and you want it to fit the pucks of a 2020 Chevy then purchase part # BWRVB3715 if your truck is a 2500 or 3500.
view full answer... - How Much Does The B&W Companion 5th Wheel Hitch Base Weigh?The Replacement Base for B&W Companion OEM 5th Wheel Trailer Hitch for Chevy/GMC # BWRVB3715 weighs right around 85-lbs.

view full answer... - How To Use B&W Companion OEM 5th Wheel Hitch From 2019 Chevy Silverado On 2023In order to use the B&W Companion OEM 5th Wheel Trailer Hitch from a 2019 Chevrolet Silverado on a 2023 Chevrolet Silverado, you just need a new base which can be obtained using the Replacement Base for B&W Companion OEM 5th Wheel Trailer Hitch part # BWRVB3715.
view full answer... - Base to Convert B and W Companion Hitch to Fit OEM Pucks of 2020 GMC Sierra 3500Yes, you can take the head that's on your current Companion hitch and swap it onto the base part # BWRVB3715 and you'll have a complete Companion hitch that fits your 2020 GMC Sierra 3500 OEM rail kit.
view full answer... - Availability of B and W Companion Hitch with 25k Capacity for 2021 Chevy Silverado 3500B and W does make a Companion hitch that fits the OEM rail kit of your 2021 Chevy Silverado 3500 with the part # BWRVK3715 which has a 25k capacity.

view full answer... - Hitch Base Recommendation to Install B and W Companion in 2020 GMC Sierra 2500 OEM Rail KitThe 2020 GM OEM rail kit is different from the previous years which is what the # BWRVB3710 fits so you'd need the part # BWRVB3715 which would allow you to install the head of your current hitch on it and you'd have a complete hitch which would basically be part # BWRVK3715.
view full answer... - Does B&W Companion Hitch for 2019 GM OEM Rail Kit also Fit 2020 GM OEM Rail KitGM made a change to the OEM rail kits of their trucks between 2019 and 2020 so a hitch that fit a 2019 model truck would not carry over and also fit a 2020. The 2020 trucks require the hitch part # BWRVK3715 so one option would be to be to replace the entire hitch or another option is to just replace the base with the part # BWRVB3715 and use the head of your current hitch.
view full answer... - Base Rails To Fit Companion Hitch Head to 2022 Chevy Silverado 3500 OEM Prep PackageYes, the Companion hitch base part # BWRVB3715 does fit the OEM prep package of your 2022 Chevy Silverado 3500. With the Companion hitch head you have currently and this base kit you'd essentially have the part # BWRVK3715 which is the complete hitch fit for your truck. You might consider selling your current hitch as a complete unit since that would be easier than just the rails and go with the all new hitch kit # BWRVK3715.
view full answer... - Would B and W Companion Hitch from 2016 GMC 3500HD Factory Rail Kit Also Fit 2020 GMC Rail KitIn 2020 GM changed their factory fifth wheel rail kits so the hitch from your 2016 Sierra would not fit. You have two options though. You could get just the base part # BWRVB3715 and install the head of your current hitch on it or you could go with an all new hitch like the part # BWRVK3715. Keep in mind it might be easier to resell a complete hitch if you decide you want to offset the cost of the new hitch at all as opposed to just the base of a hitch.
view full answer... - Will B&W Companion Model 3405 Adapt To a 2020 GMC Sierra 2500Yes, the B&W Companion Slider Gooseneck-to-5th-Wheel Trailer Hitch Adapter Model RVK3405 can be made compatible with the 2020 GMC Sierra 2500 which has pucks using the Replacement Base for B&W Companion OEM 5th Wheel Trailer Hitch part # BWRVB3715 or part # BWRVB3775. In other words, you'd be reusing the head but that's all that can be transferred.
view full answer... - Replacing The Base On A B&W Hitch For A 2021 Chevy Silverado 2500 HDYou sure can get just the base and connect the head to it. If you have the 20,000lbs you'll need the Replacement Base for B&W Companion OEM 5th Wheel Trailer Hitch for Chevy/GMC - 20,000lbs Item # BWRVB3710 or if you have the 25,000lbs you'll need the Replacement Base for B&W Companion OEM 5th Wheel Trailer Hitch for Chevy/GMC - 25,000lbs Item # BWRVB3715.
view full answer... - Difference Between B and W OEM Companion Base BWRVB3710 and BWRVB3715The difference between the two is the weight capacity. The part # BWRVB3710 is rated 20,000 lbs and the part # BWRVB3715 is rated for 25k capacity.
view full answer... - How To Transfer B&W Companion 5th Wheel Hitch to a 2021 GMC Sierra 3500In order to transfer a B&W Companion 5th Wheel Hitch to a 2021 GMC Sierra 3500 you can use the Slider Base for B&W Companion Slider 5th Wheel Trailer Hitch part # BWRVB3775 or the Fixed Base for B&W Companion OEM 5th Wheel Trailer Hitch part # BWRVB3715.
view full answer... - Will a B&W Companion 5th Wheel Base from 2019 Fit a 2020 with PucksThe GM (GMC and Chevrolet) Factory Prep/Puck System changed after the 2019 model year so anything 2019 and older won't fit the new 2020 plus models. The correct replacement fixed base for this is the Replacement Base for B&W Companion OEM 5th Wheel Trailer Hitch for Chevy/GMC part # BWRVB3715 or part # BWRVB3710.
view full answer... - How to Use Existing B&W Companion 5th Wheel Hitch in Chevy/GMC Puck SystemSo we have a solution for you, but the standard B&W Companion 5th wheel hitch does not mount in industry-standard rails, so it won't fit any type of adapter. The only way to convert an existing standard B&W Companion for use with the Chevy/GMC puck system is by replacing the base with a Companion base that fits your puck system. The correct one will depend on if you need the sliding base or fixed base, as well as the weight rating: - Fixed Base: Replacement Base for B&W Companion OEM...
view full answer... - How To Use B&W Companion From 2016-2019 Chevy Silverado/GMC Sierra On a 2020 Silverado/GMC SierraCorrect, the puck spacing on Chevy Silverados and GMC Sierras changed for the 2020 model year which means the B&W Companion OEM 5th Wheel Hitch for a 2016-2019 model year will not fit. However, in order to avoid having to replace the entire hitch you can replace just the base portion and reuse the head. There are three bases available which I have attached for you below: Fixed 20K Base - part # BWRVB3710 Fixed 25K Base - part # BWRVB3715 Slider 20K Base - part # BWRVB3775
view full answer... - Which B and W Companion Hitch Fits 2020 GMC Sierra 2500 with OEM Rail KitThe Ford and GM factory fifth wheel rails kits are very different so you would need a new B and W hitch for the 2020 GMC 2500 Sierra you have now with the # BWRVK3710 for a 20k hitch part # BWRVK3715 for a 25k hitch. You could reuse your Companion hitch head if you wanted just the bases which for that you'd want the # BWRVB3710 or # BWRVB3715.
view full answer... - Do I Need a Sliding Hitch for a 2021 Chevy Silverado 3500 Short BedIn most cases with older trailers with short bed trucks, a sliding hitch is going to be required to keep the nose of the trailer from contacting the truck cab during a tight turn; newer trailers have been better at creating v-nose type construction at the front, which reduces the instances in which a sliding hitch is needed. If you decide that you don't need a sliding hitch for your 2021 Silverado 3500 with the OEM prep package you can use the B&W Companion hitch # BWRVK3710 (20k capacity)...
view full answer... - Will B and W Companion Fifth Wheel Hitch for 2018 GMC Sierra 3500 also Fit 2020 Sierra 3500For 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.
view full answer... - How to Convert B&W Companion 5th Wheel Hitch For Puck System in 2020 GMC Sierra 3500It looks like your 2020 GMC Sierra 3500 has the factory prep package with the puck system, and there is a solution for you to convert your B&W Companion # BWRVK3500 to fit those pucks, but there isn't an adapter because of the unique mounting of that Companion in the square gooseneck of the Turnoverball. So what you will need to do instead is replace the base with the Companion base that fits your '20 Sierra 3500's pucks. Since the Companions use the same head assembly, you an use either...
view full answer... - Replacement GM Leg Assembly for B&W Companion 5th Wheel Hitch in 2021 GMC Sierra 2500GM didn't offer an OEM puck system back in 2006, so what you have is likely a Reese Elite under-bed rail system that uses the same puck spacing as the Ford OEM pucks. You can check this by measuring the center to center puck spacing, which should be 30 inches across, 13 inches front to back measured center to center. If that's the case, you can re-use your existing B&W Companion hitch head, and install it on new legs that are compatible with the different puck spacing used in the 2021...
view full answer... - Replacement B&W Base 5TH Wheel Hitch For New 2020+ Chevrolet/GMC 2500HD/35000HDYes, your 3000 series head will work with the newer hitches. The bases were the only parts that changed when they upgraded their hitches for the 20,000lb ratings they currently have. Just to confirm the Replacement Base # BWRVB3710 is a 20,000lb base that is designed to fit the new 2020+ Chevrolet/GMC 2500/3500 OEM puck system. There is also a 25,000lb Replacement Base # BWRVB3715 if you require a higher weight rating. Both of these bases use the same head # BWRVC3006 which is what you...
