B&W Companion OEM 5th Wheel Hitch for Chevy/GMC Towing Prep Package - Dual Jaw - 20,000 lbs
Great hitch, super easy to install Stepped up to a 20k hitch for my new truck
The hitch works very well, the only thing I didn't like is one of the handles for the headpiece is welded a little off. It's like this is a factory second. You can see that the one is not parallel.

B&W Companion OEM 5th Wheel Hitch for Chevy/GMC Towing Prep Package - Dual Jaw - 20,000 lbs
6000 miles towing this year; loaded trailer weight 16,480 lbs (based on CAT scale weight tickets). Hitch is awesome. Very secure with no noticeable chucking. I can remove and install this hitch by myself. The two pieces are very manageable. My fifth B&W hitch over the years; 2 turnover ball goosenecks and 2 tow & stows. Quality hitches which I recommend highly.
Very happy with the B&W hitch we received. etrailer and their staff were excellent to work with. Shipping was sooner than projected. And the installation was extremely easy. Would absolutely use etrailer again as well as B&W products. Thank you all!

B&W Companion 5th Wheel Trailer Hitch - Dual Jaw - 20,000 lbs
I wanted to be able to easily utilize my truck bed and this hitch provides that in spades! Easy to remove and install. I absolutely have to give a shout out to Paula on customer service. She was amazing! My first shipment was damaged and missing a vital part. Paula had another one shipped right away and made my return shipment a breeze. She stayed in contact with me to the end. I felt like she shared in my joy once the install was complete! The hitch is super adjustable for optimal placement in the bed and height of the trailer. Make a few quick measurements and it just goes together quickly. Love the dual jaw release lever. Our last 5th wheel hitch had the standard pull to release lever and it was often very difficult to operate. This lever style is a game changer. Overall, I couldn't be more pleased with the product and customer service!
I installed this system in my classic square body Silverado after installing the Turnover Ball BK1400 gooseneck hitch. Both work great together and this companion installed beautifully. I tow a 40’ Cougar camper with it.

Curt Q24 5th Wheel Trailer Hitch - Dual Jaw - 24,000 lbs
Truly happy with this product and can't wait to go to work! etrailer sent me everything I requested and the installer had no problems. Everything was packed well in shipping with no problems.
This product is certainly stout. It doesn't seem to have any ability to rock and roll with terrain which concerns me some.

B&W Companion OEM 5th Wheel Hitch for Chevy/GMC Towing Prep Package - Dual Jaw - 25,000 lbs
Besides the base hanging out of the box on delivery, this is a great hitch. I am coming from a B&W 5th wheel Companion hitch for the turnover ball to the OEM version. I like the smaller footprint and that this hitch is 50 pounds lighter than my last one Much easier to take it in and out of the truck. B&W makes a great hitch and etrailer was easy to work with as always. I love that etrailer provides so much information on the items they sell right on the website.
My order shipped on time and was in great shape when it arrived. I have not installed it, but don’t think that will be an issue. B&W makes great products and etrailer is a great distributor! Thanks etrailer!

B&W Companion OEM 5th Wheel Hitch w/ Slider for Chevy/GMC Towing Prep Package - Dual Jaw - 20K
The hitch works great, easy to hook-up and is very quiet while pulling. My only complaint is that I did not need the slider attachment. I used both B&W and Curt’s guides and they both showed that I needed the slider. Once installed I tried it and I have at least 6” of cab clearance at 90deg without sliding the hitch back. The slider adds a lot of weight and expense that was not necessary.
There are two long scratches along the left rail that did not happen during shipping. This is going into a new truck and I need to paint it to keep it from rusting. etrailer credited me just over 5% of the total price of the hitch. I am very disappointed with their resolution. Shipping costs both ways to resolve this issue would be nearer $300. I won't be purchasing any more products from etraler.

Curt A25 5th Wheel Trailer Hitch for Chevy/GMC Towing Prep Package - Dual Jaw - 25,000 lbs
I really like this hitch. The puck system lined up perfectly with the OEM hitch frame in my 2018 GMC Sierra 3500 truck bed so installation was very easy. I like the jaw position indicator that tells you at a glance from the cab whether the jaws are opened or closed which makes hitching and unhitching straightforward. This hitch is over-rated for my rig by 10,000 lb but that should translate to greater reliability and service life. My only complaint is that there's no facility to securely lock the hitch onto the truck bed to prevent it from being stolen. I solved this problem by running a steel cable through the gooseneck puck opening and around the truck frame and looped the cable through the lower hitch frame and hitch head and secured it with a padlock. Otherwise I would have given it 5 stars.
After talking on the phone about the Q25 or A25, I decided to get the A24. Its the new model for the Curt hitch and can’t be happier with it so far. Shipment was fast. Boxes were damaged but can’t really blam it since the two boxes are very heavy. Hitch only had a few scratches on it. Was very easy to put together. I have not towed with it yet since it is still winter here in Maryland. The hitch is build very good. Can already tell it will be way better than my old hitch. I won’t put that company’s name on this review. I highly recomemd ordering from etrailer.

B&W Companion OEM 5th Wheel Hitch for Chevy/GMC Towing Prep Package - Dual Jaw - 25,000 lbs
Installation was very easy! The instructions are easy to read and understand also. Everything about this hitch is top quality heavy duty materials. I do not see anything “cheap” about it. I am very impressed. Thank you B&W for making a top quality removable 5th wheel hitch! And thank you etrailer for being so professional and easy to work with! Oh, the over night shipping is the best!
After full time living in our Solitude 375 RES fifth wheel and pulling it from the border of Canada down the US West Coast then inland through the Rocky Mountains and through some crazy boondocking sites, I highly recommend this B&W Hitch.

B&W Companion OEM 5th Wheel Hitch w/ Slider for Chevy/GMC Towing Prep Package - Dual Jaw - 20K
Purchase and delivery went very smoothly and was right on time. Hitch was packaged very well. Works exactly as advertised. Got the slider hitch as recommended by eTrailer, good recommendation. Due to the weight of the hitch it requires two people or hoist mechanism to install it.
This hitch is very easy to use and moves flawlessly along the slide rails. And talk about sturdy... this thing is solid. Very well engineered.

B&W Companion 5th Wheel Trailer Hitch w/ Slider - Dual Jaw - 20,000 lbs
Extremely easy install. You will need a torque wrench that’ll go up to 110 ft/lbs. glad I did my research and went with the B&w gooseneck hitch in anticipation of getting this 5th wheel companion hitch at a later time.
Fast shipping and the box was in perfect condition. I appreciate the amazing customer service. They were friendly and had a good attitude when I called with questions. I look forward to shopping with them in the future. The shipping company called ahead of time and scheduled the delivery because it was such a large item they were friendly and was within their timeframe. Thank you etrailer.com I appreciate it.

Curt A20 5th Wheel Trailer Hitch for Chevy/GMC Towing Prep Package - Dual Jaw - 20,000 lbs
The Hitch is Great! The shipping box was almost destroyed when I received it, this was the second hitch that I bought from etrailer and again the product was great but the shipping box was almost non-existing. Improve the shipping box.
Looks great can't wait to pull my 43' 5th wheel. Curts makes quality products.

Curt Q20 5th Wheel Trailer Hitch - Dual Jaw - 20,000 lbs
This product has worked perfect for me using with my 2012 Wildcat Sterling 5th wheel. Customer service is the best at etrailer.com. Just love doing business with them!
I bought a new trailer recently that weighs 16k and I just didn't feel secure using my Reese pro series 16k to Haul with. So I started looking at various hitches. I've had 3 other fifth wheel hitches in the past. All of them have been 15 and 16k models. What I never liked was the latching system. I've even had a trailer come out of the hitch due to a poor latching hook up. There wasn't an good way to lock the hitch. Some of it was my fault and some was a poor design. When I saw the Curt Q20 had a latch on the handle and also was color coded I was hooked. This hitch satisfied my want list. It arrived 4 days after I ordered it and like other comments I've read it was full of heavy duty staples. It was double packaged. There had to be over 50 staples. It was defiantly packaged securely. After dimantaling the packing I finally got to the hitch. There were a few scratches on the hitch from all the staples but a bit of black touch up paint took care of that. After all the hitch is going to be used and get scrached by me anyways. Four bolts and it was together. It fit perfictly it my existing rails. By the way it's heavier than my other hitches. I wound be apprehensive to pull my new trailer. If your looking for a great hitch at a great price you can't go wrong.

Demco Autoslide 5th Wheel Trailer Hitch w/ Slider - Single Jaw - Above Bed - 18,000 lbs
Demco auto slide hitch works very well with my crew cab short bed Ram. Fits under my tonneau cover nicely. Trouble free thus far. Had to purchase a Demco plate for the camper to make the Rhino box hitch work. etrailer personnel were great in helping ensure I had the right products and kept me well informed of shipping dates.
My wife and I are full-time RVers, and have used this slider hitch from the get-go while traveling around seeing the country over the past year. We are happy with our purchase, which has proven to be both easy to hook up, adjust, and functions well, as advertised. The only matter I think you may want to address are the thick plastic removable maintenance access covers which tend to bow, and the areas around the attachment holes have melted, in the hot weather. Perhaps instead using a light metal for the covers would be better solution. We are very happy overall with this hitch, and plan to keep it . Thank you.

Reese M5 5th Wheel Trailer Hitch for Chevy/GMC Towing Prep Package - Single Jaw - 27,000 lbs
After a lot of research, I chose the Reese M5. The design is great. Assembly was a breeze, and it installs and removes very easily. The fitment with my 2019 Silverado puck system is perfect. I am much more comfortable with the single jaw hitch and with the M5's Easy Latching Handle, its a breeze to hitch and unhitch. etrailers price made it an even easier decision. Sometimes a lower price means a lower quality. Absolutely not the case here with etrailer. Couldn't be more happy with this purchase, Reese and etrailer
We are pulling a 16,000lb Cedar Creek trailer. This hitch is so simple to use! Set the trailer height, back up, and click, done. Snap the retaining pin and you're ready to go. Unhitching is just as easy. Very happy with this hitch. Drops right into the frame rails of the Silverado.

Curt A30 5th Wheel Trailer Hitch for Chevy/GMC Towing Prep Package - Dual Jaw - 30,000 lbs
Works as it should. Prior to installing this hitch I had never touched a 5th wheel hitch. This hitch is designed to work on GMC/Chevy with trailer prep package. Well they did a great job. I went from hitch in the crate to hitch installed in less than 30 minutes. I would caution that you may need help lifting hitch into bed of truck, hitch is heavy.
Definitely a substantial piece of equipment, easy to install although the instructions were somewhat lacking. Quality is excellent and the unit is nice looking. Confident it can handle any 5th wheel unit.

Reese M5 5th Wheel Trailer Hitch for Chevy/GMC Towing Prep Package - Single Jaw - 20,000 lbs
I recently purchased a Reese M5 20K hitch for my new Silverado 3500HD, Crew Cab, 8’ bed. As usual, Etrailer pricing was very good and with free shipping to boot. The hitch arrived via UPS in just a few days after placing the order. Following the detailed instructions provided by Reese, the install into the factory “puck” system, was fairly straight forward. However, a word of caution concerning the install. There are 4 15/16” bolts that need to be torqued to 220-foot pounds and are somewhat difficult to get to. Fortunately, I was able to borrow a torque wrench that would accommodate the recommended foot pounds of torque. Also, you may have an issue if you need to place the hitch at its highest position. The release handle might protrude above the bed rails of your truck in this position. This will be a problem if you have a bed cover. Reese is/was well aware of this issue and sells an after-market handle that will correct this issue. Etrailer lists this handle on their Web page.
Installed in a 2018 GMC 3500 LB SRW Overall it was really easy to put together. Its light enough move in and out and very sturdy. I did not have a clearance issue with the Backflip cover regarding the stock handle. See pics. Just a heads up, I had an issue with the threading in the legs, etrailer was very understanding and sent me out replacements supper fast. I contacted Reese regarding paint guncked up in the threading and they were aware of the issue, they recommended running a wire brush or a tap to clean it out.

Curt A16 5th Wheel Trailer Hitch for Chevy/GMC Towing Prep Package - Dual Jaw - 16,000 lbs
Just installed this CURT 16K ~5th wheel hitch into our new 2017 GMC truck. It took about an hour and it would have been nice if the directions would have told you what height each set of holes would produce. I'd recomend using some marine grease on the four puck joints prior to trying to lock them in. I really like this new hitch puck truck system over the Reese hitch with the bed mounted bars. I'd highly recommend this hitch if you have the factory GMC /Chevrolet puck system. The e trailer online help was truly appreciated as it steered me to the proper hitch for our new truck.
Very easy install. Looks great. Functions perfect. Easy hook up to fifth wheel. Perfect fit for my 2017 gmc HD Denali 3/4 ton with factory installed fifth wheel plate. Love it thanks. Just what I was looking for. Better than paying 1,000 dollars at chevy dealer for them to order.

B&W Patriot 5th Wheel Trailer Hitch w/ Slider - Dual Jaw - 18,000 lbs
From the start,the folks at etrailer were very courteous and helpful. I called many times during the decision making process and everyone was always right there to help. When I finally decided to purchase the B&W 18K Patriot w/slider Bailey was there to help with the order. She explained the free freight shipping and it was a done deal. It arrived 1 day earlier than stated, as soon as I opened the cartons it was in fact the good ol' American made quality I was accustomed to growing up. I proceeded to install on the B&W rails I purchased and installed locally on my 2022 F250 Lariat/ Tremor.I had a small hick- up with the install and etrailer gave me B&W's # as they like to handle issues themselves. Stephanie at B&W was just as courteous. Overall a very pleasant experience. The Patriot was basically plug and play. I then connected my 2021 Grand Design 303RLS Reflection and rolled down yhe road. What a smooth and quiet ride, loved it! I would definitely recommend etrailer and their products. Thank you all that helped.
So far so good. Hitch appears to be good quality. It was easy to install after installing the mounting kit. I haven't used it yet so I can't comment on how it handles when pulling a camper.

Curt PowerRide 5th Wheel Trailer Hitch for Chevy/GMC Towing Prep Package - Dual Jaw - 30,000 lbs
We’ve been full time RVing for a year and absolutely love this hitch, and have had zero issues with it. We are towing a 19000 lb Riverstone with our GMC 3500HD dually, and I would definitely recommend it.
Great simple installation ready for the rv now.

B&W Patriot 5th Wheel Trailer Hitch - Dual Jaw - 18,000 lbs
This 5th wheel has exceeded all my expectations. It’s worked flawlessly for thousands of miles and many different type of 5th wheels trailers. Not a peep, B&W FTW!!
So far this has been a great hitch. Takes up a lot less space than the massive auto slider hitch that I had previously, and have had no problem with any sharp turns so far. It is also much easier to handle by myself taking it out of the truck. The only thing I’ve had some problems with is getting the handle lock pin out once I’m ready to disconnect. To solve, I’ve started wedging the flat part of my crowbar under the head of the pin and tapping it with a rubber mallet from underneath.

Demco Hijacker Autoslide 5th Wheel Trailer Hitch Installation - 2021 Chevrolet Silverado 3500
What's going on, everybody Adam here with etrailer. Today, on our 2021 Chevrolet Silverado 3500, we're gonna be taking a look at the Demco Hijacker 5th wheel Autoslide system for your OEM puck system. This system's gonna be for you if you have the OEM puck system and you have a short-bed.

B and W Patriot 5th Wheel Trailer Hitch Installation - 2020 Chevrolet Silverado 3500
Hello neighbors, it's Brad here at Etrailer and today we're taking a look at the B&W Patriot sliding fifth wheel in a 2020 Chevy Silverado 3500. Something that I recommend to every person that is towing a fifth wheel with a short bed or not a long bed truck is going to be a sliding fifth wheel. There's other ways around, you know, preventing cab corners from getting crushed, you can get a movable pin box and that's gonna help a little bit, but this is a great way, if you're having to navigate in some really tight turns, to have that ability to be able to slide this back, give you that clearance to make that turn, and then you can hit the road after that. Otherwise, you are gonna be stuck with just kind of smaller angles than normal, otherwise you run the risk of damaging your truck. So this is a nice easy way to make that short bed still be able to tow a fifth wheel with no problem. Operate the slide function super easy on here.

Curt Q20 5th Wheel Trailer Hitch Installation - 2018 Chevrolet Silverado 3500
Rob: Hey everybody. Rob here at etrailer.com. Today, we're going to be taking a look at the Curt Q20 fifth wheel hitch with our 20 slider, our 2018 Chevrolet Silverado 3500. Eight-foot beds are becoming more and more uncommon on pickup trucks. Typically, a standard truck nowadays is coming with either a six and a half or six and three quarter foot bed, which is perfectly fine. We can still have plenty of use for that size bed, but when you go to tow a fifth wheel trailer with anything less than an eight-foot bed, you realize real quickly that you lose a lot of clearance.
Curt A20 Fifth Wheel Trailer Hitch with Slider Installation - 2018 Chevrolet Silverado 3500
Rob: Hey everybody, Rob here at etrailer.com. Today we're going to be taking a look at the Curt A20 5th Wheel Hitch with R20 slider on our 2018 Chevrolet Silverado 3500. Now here's what our Curt A20 is going to look like once we have it installed. Now more and more now than ever trucks seem to be getting beds that are smaller and smaller than eight feet, six and 3/4, six and 1/2. That's typically about a standard-sized bed. Now, if you ever towed a 5th wheel, you know that once you start towing with anything less than eight feet, you start to run into issues when you're making slow speed turns, especially where the front of the trailer can get extremely close to the cab, if not make contact.

So here's what our fifth wheel hitch is going to look like when we have it installed in the truck bed. It's going to be specific to models that have the OEM fifth wheel prep package, which is going to be the four outlier pucks and then the center gooseneck hitch ball opening.This particular hitch here is going to fit directly into those pucks without any additional adapters needed. So we're not going to have to worry about extra parts or lifting extra items. It's going to fit flush onto the pucks here.
B and W Patriot 5th Wheel Trailer Hitch Installation - 2015 Chevrolet Silverado 3500
Hello neighbors, it's Brad here at etrailer and today we're taking a look at the BMW Patriot fifth Wheel on a 2015 Chevy Silverado 3,500. Now, today we have our fifth wheel mounted onto some BMW rails, but not to worry, you can actually pick up any rails that are going to be the standard size and this will drop into it. Now if you're interested in picking up a set of rails to mount up a fifth wheel we have plenty of options here as well as an install video on this particular rail kit. Now this fifth wheel is rated at 18,000 pounds so it's pretty heavy duty. So for a dually like this this is gonna be a good match for it. You're gonna be able to hook up to some pretty heavy trailers or campers and tow them around easily.
