Item arrived quickly in good shape. It was just as advertised
This is my 2nd B & W product and like it even better than the first Companion I had. Can’t wait to pull my 35ft Grand Design with it!
Hitch base works well. but was difficult to install. I had to call BW and get a shim due to clearance issues. Once I got the shim, it installed as expected. I do like the small footprint in the bed of the truck.
Perfect fit in my 2019 F350. Easy install with no problems. Fit with my existing hitch head just fine.
Had the pleasure of owning many products for B&W and this one is no less impressive. Always easy to work with always built strong and reliable. etrailer has been a pleasure to work with as well. Great customer service also with fair prices. Win,Win. Thank you
Great product and awesome place to purchase all my trailer needs.
As other B&W products I have, it's built well! Got a new truck with a different bed attachment so I bought this one to replace the gooseneck attachment style base I had before. I reused my old (but in great shape) head and it came together nicely.
B&W base was great but had a hard time getting all 4 pucks to latch. Problem was with the Ford puck alignment and not the B&W base..
I have 2 trucks and didn’t want to purchase entire new system, being able to just get the base for my Ford F450 with the puck system and to utilize the hitch hookup from my Ram saved money.
Easy to assemble and arrived before expected! Good work.
2017 F350 with factory hitch (puck) system. I bought the B&W base plate to use with my existing B&W 5th Wheel hitch that was the older drop in style. The new plate fits the truck very well even with a spray in bed liner and rubber bed mat. Locks up very snug and hovers over the bed with out fear of it touching, smashing and deforming the aluminum bed. As others have said the install was quick and easy and now the new truck is ready to hit the road.
Yes this one fit perfectly thank you for your help how’s it looking on the return on the other one
We bought a new truck with a puck system so we just replaced the bottom half of our B & W Companion turnover ball slider hitch with this puck system base. No need to buy a whole new hitch. This is just a solid as the previous version and we have a lot more bed space with the long bed and standard hitch base. Same B & W quality-American steel. Quick shipping from eTrailer as always.
This is my 2nd Companion hitch. First was used in a short bed truck, needed the sliding Companion. I now have a new truck, Ford F-350 LB, with the 5th wheel prep. pkg. I kept the top section and simply ordered the lower section designed to drop right in on the Ford. I was amazed at the design of the B&W Companion Hitch. It really took about 3 min to install this unit in my truck. The folks at etrailer.com were very helpful, they answered all my questions, and followed up both during and after delivery. My unit arrived on time and would highly recommend etrailer.com to anyone looking for Goose Neck or 5th wheel hitches.
I purchased the Companion base for my new truck with the puck system so I did not have to buy a whole new 5th wheel hitch. It saved so much time and money buying just the base and using my king pin hitch off of my older model in my other truck. Swapping back and forth is so simple instead of having to remove the whole system. Installation was so easy, even the set-up for positioning the location for the ride was a breeze. We are so pleased with this purchase, we plan on getting all of our needs from etrailer.
ordered hitch base on Monday it was here on wednesday.Instaled hitch same day top plate went on perfectly. good to go. Very pleased with E trailer. Will buy from them again
It was just what I was looking for. I purchased a newer truck and wanted to keep my old hitch, but it would not work with the newer truck. I did not want to buy a whole new hitch. I found that I could buy just the base that would work with my newer truck and save my some money too. Really like the way that the B&W hitch works and now I can continue to use my old hitch that I love.
This was the exact part I needed to continue to use my B&W head. Works perfect. Got the part from eTrailer quicker than expected. Great customer service and follow up.

Working perfect! Allowed me to use my original B&W head on my new Ford luck system.
Order arrived on time with no damage. Installation was a breeze. Thank you all for what you provide the RV community.
Take it from someone that worried for three days if I was going to be able to install this hitch or not it was a piece of cake! Took me a little over an hour! This was really easy and the instructions were very clear! The added plus to this was that etrailer, Anna was just a phone call away! I called her one time for simple clarification issue and she was such a pleasant and professional person to talk to! Thumbs up on etrailer! They got this right!

Outstanding product! I havent had one problem! I highly recommend this product to anyone that wants to tow a fifth wheel trailer!
I have had several B&W product in the past with nothing but the highest of quality. The base plate for the factory Ford fifth wheel hitch was not the same quality I had received in the past. After continuously adjusting latch cam bolts I could only make the plate contact the truck bed in 3 points at one time. Under load of my 14000 lbs camper a lot of uneasy noises coming from hitch not what I was expecting.

The latch cams are adjustable, and may need to be adjusted independently since the OEM pucks may be at different depths. This information can be found on the current version of the installation instructions on page 3 of 5.
Sara was great to help me with my new B&W hitch base for my new 26 ford f 350 fit perfect thank you
Great product, Price and Shipping
Ordered urgently on a Sunday night after realizing my older hitch from a 2018 Chevy Silverado wouldn’t work on my 2018 F450. We were leaving on Thursday for a camping trip and the hitch arrived on Wednesday morning. We couldn’t be more happy.
Super easy to install. I am glad that they offer just the replacement base. My former vehicle had the turnball hitch but my new truck has the OEM puck system, so i just swapped the head!
