This fixed fifth-wheel hitch is rated for 20,000 lbs gross towing weight and 5,000 lbs tongue weight, giving you the strength to pull large fifth wheels with confidence. Its heavy steel construction and gray powder coat finish resist corrosion through miles of towing. When it’s in place, the rail-free design drops directly into the four receiver pucks for a stable mount that feels solid and secure.
The thick, machined dual jaws wrap completely around the king pin for a snug fit that cuts out rattle and movement. That full 360-degree contact gives you smoother towing and less chucking when hitting bumps or uneven pavement. The polyurethane bushings supporting the head help absorb road vibration for a quieter, steadier ride that keeps stress off both the truck and trailer.
The cam-action latching handle makes coupling and uncoupling simple even on unlevel ground. It opens cleanly without needing to fight binding pressure between the truck and trailer. When it’s time to release, just move the handle to the open position and pull forward to free the jaws. The handle secures closed with a pin and clip, or you can lock it with a padlock for extra peace of mind.
Fine-tune your setup for the right bed rail clearance using three adjustable height settings. The pivot arms can be installed in different positions—forward or back—to dial in cab clearance or balance your load line. That adjustability helps you achieve a level trailer and confident handling when you’re running heavy down the highway.
When it’s time to haul something other than your fifth wheel, this hitch separates into manageable pieces so you can clear your bed fast. The head lifts off easily from the pivot arms, then you can unlock the base from the pucks by rotating the handles outward and pulling the hitch free. It’s sturdy when installed but simple to remove without special tools or equipment.

Ratings & Reviews
I have not towed with the hitch as we have not purchased a fifth wheel RV at the time of me writing this. I want to be ready when we do find a trailer. I have a 2021 Chevrolet 3500HD with the factory puck system. This hitch fits like a glove and appears to be very well constructed. Installation was simple and straight forward. I will very likely consider other products from B&W based on this one. I love the fact that it is made in the USA!
Order arrived 2 days early, I love etrailer always have what you need
After buying a 2021 Silverado 2500, we decided to purchase a new hitch to replace the sliding Reese hitch we have used for the past 10 years. Our truck has a 6'9" standard bed. With the rounded front caps on newer 5th wheels, we decided we could use a fixed mount hitch instead of a slider. After reading reviews online, we purchased the B&W Companion Hitch with the puck system. It was quick to assemble, and with the ability to separate the plate assembly from the base it is easy to take in and out of the truck. This hitch also allowed the option to set it up so the trailer pin sits 2" behind the back axle. Every trailer is different, but this feature allows us to jackknife our trailer to 90 degrees with 1" clearance from the back of the cab. The hitch has three different height settings and we chose the middle setting. This gave us 7 1/4" clearance between the trailer overhang and the truck bed sides. Once we added our Tonneau Cover rails we still had 6" of clearance. Hooking up to this hitch is a great deal easier than our previous Reese hitch. It also pulled much smoother and quieter with the dual jaw configuration. Additionally, the smaller footprint in the bed of the truck should allow us more cargo room if needed. We are very happy with this purchase and expect to use this hitch for many years. Buying through etrailer was a positive experience. Besides having the best price and free shipping, we relied on their sales team to answer our many questions and help choose the right hitch for us. Once we placed our order, we had our hitch in 2 days.

After using this hitch for the past year, we are still very happy with our purchase. The hitch has been trouble free, easy to put in and pull out of the truck bed, easy to hook up to our camper and it pulls great. Having used different hitches over the years, this is the one I would recommend.
Package arrived on time, directions were clear, all parts were in the two boxes. Fit my 2026 GMC sierra 3500HD OEM puck system perfectly.
I accidentally ordered the wrong hitch. The folks at Etrailer quickly found me the right hitch and return lables. We got the new hitch within the week and a refund is on the way.
B&W fifth wheel hitch was easy to put together and install in my 2025 3500HD Chevy Silverado Hitch is made heavy and sturdy ( USA product) Won’t be pulling my fifth wheel until next year but I am not worried about this hitch. Buy this hitch!!

The fifth wheel hitch is working good. Had to make an extension bar 38 rod to reach the arm because you can’t reach the arm when you have a Dually truck. It should have some kind of extension tool for the dually truck. What I made works great
Easy to order, very helpful personal, ahead of time delivery and most of all high quality and ease of installation. I can’t stress to much how knowledgeable they are at ETrailer This is our second 5th wheel hitch and we did the installation.
It was easy to install. I have only hauled with it once and am very happy with the 5th wheel hitch. Absolutely no chucking.
This is our second B&W hitch. We had one in a Ford. Traded trucks to a Chevy - needed hitch with puck system. Installation on both was simple. We were very pleased with first B&W hitch. We are confident we will be very happy with this one as well. We will put the new hitch to the test this weekend as we are closing out the camping season with our last trip of the year.
Like most say the packaging could be better. But it came without any scratches and looks awesome. Didn’t take long to install. Directions were easy. Can’t wait to try it out! As always, eTrailer rocks. Will continue to purchase from them.

Been using this for a year now. Looks as good as the day I installed it. Could not be happier. It is fantastic. Have not had one issue. Don’t buy anything else. I have a 2024 Chevy 2500, standard box, towing a Grand Design Reflection 295RL. No issues with turn radius and I have been in some pretty tight spots! No need for a slider hitch.
Very well built with a nice finish. This is my second B&W 5th Wheel Hitch, previously had a B&W 5th wheel rail mount w/slider being my truck had a 6 1/2 foot box. Was very happy with the quality and design of that so upgraded to a puck system design for a newer truck. Ordering and delivery from etrailer was quick and it was a very easy installation.
It arrived on time and in good shape. Very easy to assemble and fairly light weight. I am 70 years old and have no trouble lifting it in and out of my truck; being able to separate the base from the hitch. I pulled my new fifth wheel home yesterday and hardly any chugging. I am very impressed with this Companion 3710.
The B&W saves us over 100lbs. and approx. 1ft. of space on each side of the hitch. Haven't travelled any real distance yet; however, our cross country trip will surely put it thru it's paces.
The hitch was easy to install. We haven’t had a chance to pull our camper anywhere yet - but did connect it to the hitch and all worked as it should.

Hitch is great. Easy to use. Easy to handle when putting it in truck and removing it.
I was shocked when my old hitch didn’t work. After a chat with etrailer we came up with the right size. I will be giving a true test next week. My preliminary hook up to my trailer worked great. Next road test coming up for both hitch and my 2026 Chevy diesel 2500.
Great i love the hitch!!! But the the shipping was not the greatest box was a little rough and there was a few fasteners in the box. I got lucky they did not fall out of the box. Fasteners for the locking handle. The base has a few paint chips and i do see some surface rust forming bummer brand new hitch spends its life under a cover and i a garage
Great product, Highly recommend. Easy i nstallation

That looks fantastic in your truck, seriously clean setup. The Companion looks like it was made for your truck bed! Glad to hear the install went easy for you too. What fifth wheel are you towing with it?
My b&w OEM 5th wheel hitch arrived exactly when it was supposed to. Assembly went easy, everything fit perfect as I was told it would. Thank you to Ashley e. At e trailer for excellent service and b&w for a quality product

This is a top notch, very well built hitch. Dropped right in to my oem puck system on a 2024 Chev 2500 hd. The first hookup was so smooth that I wasn’t sure I was even on my kingpin.
E trailer had it delivered the next day from ordering!! The other important thing to note is this hitch takes up a 17” x 30” footprint which is way smaller than an Andersen base.

Still works like new, I’ve trailered about 3500 miles in a year and I have no regrets with the hitch. I have an overhead electric hoist so I purchased a lifting eye adapter to simply lock into the jaws, turn the four hitch locking handles and lift the entire hitch out of the truck when needed. Great design B&W!
Arrived quickly, well packaged, very well built, easy to assemble, and performs as expected. This is a serious tool for serious towing. Very pleased it can be disassembled into two parts so it can be easily handled by one person.

I am glad to see you discovered the best Thomas! If B&W is available, I choose them every time! Have you been able to get out on your first trip? Where did you go, or where are you going?
The product quality is excellent, and the overall purchasing experience was equally impressive. The ordering process was smooth, and shipping was extremely fast. My order was processed and on its way within just a couple of hours.
The hitch arrives in two separate packages, one for the base and one for the hitch assembly. Everything was well packaged and organized.
Installation was straightforward and easy to complete on my own. I was able to install the hitch in approximately 20 minutes. The most time consuming part was configuring the components to match my specific setup.
For reference, I installed this on a 2026 Chevy 3500HD single rear wheel with a long bed and factory puck system. The setup was direct and required no modifications. I selected the 20K hitch, which aligns with the truck’s rated capacity. I initially set it to the mid height position. Adjusting the height later appears to be a quick process that should take no more than 10 minutes.
Overall, this is a solid and well built option for a fifth wheel hitch. It offers a combination of durability, ease of installation, and a streamlined purchasing experience.
In terms of weight and handling, it is manageable for one person. I expected it to be heavier, but the design makes it practical to move when needed. The hitch consists of two main components, the base and the hitch head. Moving it simply requires removing the top section, which is very easy and does not require any tools, as it is secured with pins. The base can then be removed from the puck system just as easily. While it does have some weight to it, breaking it down into these components makes it realistic to handle alone.
Very easy assembly after you figure out height. I have a 2020 GMC Denali 3500 Dually, and went with the highest height. My slide tonneau cover still slides perfect with no contact. Great solid product!

Absolutely love it and has been amazing! I’m a FT RVer, so I hook up to it a lot and has always functioned as it should! Highly recommend!
Great hitch, great service! Shipped quick. Super simple install. This is the 2nd B&W hitch we purchased from etrailer.com both times the customer service was exemplary.
This was installed in a Silverado 3500 dually at the lowest and forward setting to mate to a curt rotoflex pin box at its lowest setting. Have 7 inches of clearance from the bed box. It locks in solid and pulls great. No crazy creaking or chucking. The redundant safety pins just build more confidence that our trailer is secure. Thank you Lauren for being awesome.

Lauren and B and W are both pretty great! I'll make sure she sees your review :) Also super glad to hear that install and performance are up to par. What kind of 5th wheel are you towing?
Love how this comes apart making it EASY to remove from truck bed and re-install. Easy to assemble with standard hand tools and torque wrench. When the snow clears here in Montana I will THEN hookup the 5th wheel to the hitch. By the end of camping season 2025 I will return to provide an update.
Photos show one box (hitch head) that UPS delivered promptly without damage. The other box (hitch base) UPS took on a tour of the east coast and as a result was loaded and off-loaded from many many more trucks. The boxes aren't designed for that. Result was a torn-up box that UPS tried to keep together with tape. Fortunately, the contents were 'contained' within the box, and nothing was damaged as a result. That issue is not a B&W nor an eTrailer fault in my opinion.

This B&W hitch worked beautifully! Summer of 2025 we hauled our Grand Design 5th wheel over 10,000 miles. The hitch is awesome and we are HAPPY CAMPERS! Thanks etrailer and B&W!
Purchased the B&W Companion to swap out a PullRite Autoslide in my 2024 Chevy 3500HD. We are pulling a Grand Design Reflections 337 and the prior truck had ISR rails installed, I was told I "must have" a sliding hitch for a standard bed. This just proved for my use it was not needed. Now, the hitch. Like many have indicated the box arrived pretty beat up but the hitch parts were not damaged and all parts intact. The set up was fairly easy, I decided to go to the highest level tilted back which for me works out great. If that did not work out I can adjust it easy enough. I installed and took it for a test run about 20 miles before doing any real traveling just in case I needed modification. Connection was easy, and the level locked in and pinned close. Pulling was quiet, no slamming of metal on metal that I previously heard. I checked the clearances as I made some turns and plenty of room to move, I could easily move it to the more upright position if I wanted. I am not doing 90 degree turns and a 45 degree turn has plenty of room to go. The camper is fairly level when connected, maybe a 1/4 bubble high in the front. The unit is heavy and solid without being outrageously heavy, in 2 parts I can move it myself in and out by myself. Etrailer as usual did well with pricing and getting it out the door, they have been my go to site.

We have been using this hitch for the past year and absolutely awesome. Easily put in and out of the truck, connecting to the camper is easy and locks in solid, towing is smooth with no noise coming from the hitch slapping around. Maintenance is easy, a little lithium grease each use and a squirt of red and tacky into a zerks once a year or so. I put at least 5k miles on it this past year. Highly recommended.

It has been slightly over a year and we have been towing our new 2021 Grand Design Reflection purchased May 2021 303RLS with this hitch. I am very happy with its preformance and ease of use. I would recommend this hitch.
