Features to know about

Perfect Fit Every Time: Custom-Fit Trailer Hitch Design

If you're tired of searching for a universal hitch that doesn't quite fit, the B&W Heavy-Duty Trailer Hitch is the answer. Designed with precision to match common frame widths, including the standard 34-inch cab and chassis configurations, this hitch provides a snug fit for older truck models and custom builds alike. Its custom-fit design means no awkward modifications or guesswork'just bolt on, and you're ready to tow with confidence.

Strength for Serious Hauling: Class V Hitch Capacity

Whether you're pulling a massive RV or lugging construction equipment, this Class V hitch ensures your load stays secure and stable mile after mile.

Effortless Installation with No Welding Required: Three-Piece Interlocking Design

Save yourself the headache of complicated installs. This hitch features an intuitive three-piece interlocking design that allows for bolt-on installation without any welding. Not only does this make the setup process straightforward and accessible, but it also ensures a durable connection that you can trust for all your hauling needs.

Weather the Elements: Powder Coat Finish

Don't let the elements take a toll on your equipment. The high-gloss black powder coat finish on this hitch fights against rust and corrosion, keeping it looking sharp and performing reliably even in the harshest conditions. Whether it's rain, snow, or mud, your hitch will stand up to nature's challenges, maintaining its integrity and appearance over the long haul.

Absolutely love the install process and the look of this hitch. I installed it on my 1989 V30 Crew Cab. Took all of 10 minutes.
My only complaint is how it arrived to my doorstep. Not sure if it’s how these things are shipped or if Shipping dropped the ball but it seems like an easy way to lose parts if you ask me. Only stating this in hopes Etrailer can make a note of it happening.

My 1 year update: I’ve pulled several thousand pounds with it and of course it handles it with ease. Highly recommend it for the squarebody guys or anyone restoring one. Powdercoat holds up amazingly and I’m glad I went with this one!

It’s a very heavy duty, quality built hitch from B&W installed it on a 83 Chevy C20 long bed and the fit was perfect all the bolt holes lined up perfect. Instructions were good and the etrailer install video made install that much easier. Great product and good company to do business with.

I am very impressed with this product. The construction on the class 5 hitch is something to brag about! Very well constructed and made. The welds and craftsmanship looks great. The only mods I had to do, the center holes on the frame were off about a 1/4 inch, it’s was no problem to drill out with the right tools. It is well worth the time to install, took me about and hour. This is why I’m always proud to buy products made in the USA [Thumbs up] The quality of the B&W hitch is unmatched. The process and shipment was fast as well.

Hitch worked out great for my project, 1966 ford f250 body on a 1976 ford f250 4x4 highboy frame/chassis. Drilled all new holes to mount to frame. I had concerns because I had to shorten the frame 2 inches to accommodate the 66 long bed and factor original bumper. Thank you for the photos and dimensions of drop for the receiver tube. Hitch looks great and doesn’t hang to low.

Two holes to drill, bolted right up. I did not open package for about six months after receipt. I was short two pieces of hardware. Contacted B&W, parts were in the mail that day. This is the second hitch I have ordered. No problems with either one!!



by:
1984 Chevrolet C/K Series Pickup

I ordered this hitch for my 84 Chevy D30 military truck. After a few modifications to the existing mounting brackets for the tow hooks and the rear bumper I installed the new hitch assembley. Make sure you loose install all bolts first before tightening. Tighten new hitch assembly last. One of the most difficult parts is getting the Pindel hitch bolts lined up. I would suggest a good tapered line up bar.



by:
1986 Chevrolet C/K Series Pickup

Great hitch, I didn’t even have to drill one hole in the frame on my 1988 GMC v3500, it bolted right in. The receiver tucked under the bumper very good
The only thing I didn’t like was the trailer wiring plug bracket because it didn’t accommodate the new style 7-way and 4-way plug that come on the new Chevy trucks



by:
1968 Ford F-100

Very good quality American made item. It fit my 1968 Ford F-100 perfect. It sits right below my new Fey step bumper and I can't even see it except for the square receiver hole.

Had to trim the mounting ears about 3/16” of an inch on either side to clear bumper mounts. Seems very sturdy and well made. Looks good and doesn’t hang down too low on a 97 f250 with standard rear bumper.

2016 Ford F-250 Super Duty

Excellent quality American made hitch, installation went very smoothly onto my 1973 F250 truck. I particularly liked the modular bolt together design of the hitch this made the installation go easier (since it was lighter and less awkward).

I installed inside, then put the back piece into the mounted side and then installed the second side.

The photos are not the best, but hitch tucks up nice and tight to the bumper. Since the capacity is 16,000 lbs, it will definitely handle the new 28' enclosed trailer with ease (close to 10,000 lbs loaded).



by:

I’ve hauled lots of hay with mine no issues. Towed the cattle trailer a few times and it worked great. Highly recommend this hitch

See what our Experts say about this B and W Trailer Hitch

  • High Capacity Trailer Hitch for 1995 Chevy C/K 3500 Silverado
    The B and W Hitch part # BWHDRH25122 would fit your 1995 Chevy Silverado 3500 if it was built on a cab and chassis model. Which easy way to determine this is to measure the truck frame from outside to outside. If this measurement is 34 inches then you do have a cab and chassis model and this hitch fits. If you don't have a cab and chassis model B and W has the hitch part # BWHDRH25124 that's a fit instead.

  • Higher Capacity Trailer Hitches for 1987 Chevy C/K Dually Towing Car Hauler
    For your 1987 Chevrolet C/K Series Pickup the B and W hitch part # BWHDRH25198 that you referenced would work really great if you had a deep drop bumper but if instead you had a standard bumper you'd want the standard version of this hitch # BWHDRH25122. Both of these have more capacity than your truck has so they'd easily handle anything you'd throw at them.

  • Trailer Hitch for a 1997 Ford F-250/F-350 Cab and Chassis Model
    For 1997 a cab and chassis model would have an outside to outside frame width of 34 inches. If that is the case you can use # 13028 which is for the cab and chassis models. Cab and chassis hitches for the 1997 F-250 or F-350 appear in the same list as the regular pickup models so that is probably why you didn't see it. We also have hitch # C14082 for the cab and chassis models. The difference between these hitches is the capacity. Hitch # 13028 is rated for 600 pounds tongue weight and...

  • Trailer Hitch that Fits 2006 Chevy Silverado 3500HD with 44 inch Frame Width
    The B and W hitch part # BWHDRH25122 that you referenced only fits the cab and chassis versions of your truck which have a narrower frame width than what you mentioned at 34 inches from outside to outside. So what you'd want is the part # BWHDRH25189 instead which is designed for the truck frame dimensions you have on your 2006 Chevy Silverado 3500HD.

Assuming you have a standard bumper, the correct trailer hitch for your 1991 Chevy is the B&W Heavy-Duty Trailer Hitch Receiver # BWHDRH25124.
