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.
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.
Installation of the B&W Companion OEM Slider
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 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.
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.

I rated it the best but I think that it will interfere with my tailgate, on my 2022 GMC Denali. and i was missing some hardware, the spring and just two bolts for the handle, the spring would be nice.
Comments
Do not fret Customer Service will reach out about the missing items. As for the tailgate, the autoslide is great and should clear it. That being said, some people still opt to put on an alternative tailgate just in case. Unfortunately, we do not have one that currently fits the 2022 GMC Sierra.

It has served me well! It is strong and I feel confident going down the road with it as my hitch. My only reservation was in the use of the slider portion. I put my hitch placement on the medium setting as that was the most level with the trailer. Unfortunately, when I slid the slider back, the fifth wheel kingpin assembly scratched up the top of my tailgate on my brand new 2020 GMC Denali 3500 as I backed into the campsite. I would suggest telling customers to put it on a higher setting if they are using the slider with some newer model trucks. I have since stopped using the slider portion and just watch my hard turns carefully.

This hitch is top quality. I fits perfectly in my 2020 GMC Denali 3500 puck system. It is heavy duty and works flawlessly. I have a 2018 Jayco Designer 43’ 5th wheel and this hitch handles it with no issues. I highly recommend it for anyone looking for a 5th wheel hitch. etrailer had the best price and offers great customer service. I’m very satisfied with my purchase.

Availability of the hitch to ship right away was understandably delayed as a result of Covid 19. I was however kept informed thru the web page of the statice of my order. When my hitch arrived paging was first class and everything in good order. In short, a good supplier to deal with!

Outstanding hitch, outstanding support from etrailer! We use this for towing a Jayco 5th wheel and it work well. Sharon O. helped us select the right product and the installation videos are very helpful. The is a heavy product (300 pound) and you will need at least two people to install it.

Package arrived intact and all parts were with the assembly. I threw it in my 2021 Chevy Silverado 2500 HD Short Box bed in about 20 minutes and towed my Mom and Father in-laws 36’ 5th wheel around 45 miles down the road to where they will be camping for the week. It is the most solid hitch I have towed with. No chucking whatsoever! Easy hook up and unhitching. I set my hitch arms at the highest position and it gave me 6 inches of clearance between the the truck rails and the bottom of the trailer nose. Plenty of room.

Shipping took longer than I expected but it worked out fine. With a home delivery of a 5th wheel hitch it goes through two carriers and that takes some additional time. All good. I have ordered from etrailler previously and will continue to use them

The Companion Slider Hitch that I ordered came in great shape and the ease of installing the hitch was a breeze. It took about an hour and I will be putting the camper on in the morning. Ordering from etrailer was a breeze and it took no time at all for them to provide a tracking number so that I could follow the shipment. Wonderful experience

The B&W Companion 5th Wheel Hitch is the best hitch on the market. I’ve had mine for over a year now and it’s so easy to hitch up or drop a trailer. I absolutely love it and would definitely recommend it to anyone. Not only that but it’s so easy to install.

Received a call from UPS saying they could not deliver the package I ordered from you said it was too heavy that it would be 4 to 6 weeks before they could ship it to me because it was over 200 pounds I had to take time off from work to go and pick it up out of my way

Very pleased! Ordered on a Friday, it shipped Monday and I picked it up at the local ESTES dock on Thursday. Got it home, unboxed everything and dropped it in to my OEM attachment points. Instructions were simple as there are a couple adjustments for tightness you will need to make but other than that very easy install. B&W products are hands down a great choice. I installed this Item in to a 2020 Chevrolet Silverado 2500HD with zero issues.

Product is great. But customer service sucks. No one responded to any email when I asked when I will be receiving the 5th wheel. Was shipped out with a guarantee delivery of monday sept 27th it wasn’t until oct 7 over a week later I finally got a hold of the freight company and had to fight with them to get the product delivered that day due to the fact that I was leaving the next day and needed the 5th wheel to tow. I will be using another company next time

- B&W Companion 5th Wheel Hitch Options for a 2020 Chevy Silverado 3500Great question! There are a few different B&W Companion 5th wheel hitches and the correct one all depends on the configuration of your 2020 Chevy Silverado 3500. If you have the OEM Prep Package (with the pucks) then you need the sliding Companion # BWRVK3775 for a short bed (to gain enough cab clearance on tight turns) OR one of the stationary Companions, available as 20K # BWRVK3710 or 25K # BWRVK3715 weight rating, for a long bed.

In regards to using the fixed part # BWRVK3710 vs the slider part # BWRVK3775, this is a question we get often but not one we can give a definitive answer on unfortunately because there are simply too many variables. I will however say that with the new GM puck system, more owner's with short beds are able to use the fixed hitch and make full 90 degree turns since the pucks were moved further...

The best thing you can do is to measure to see if you have the proper clearance needed without a slider.
