• Lighter 5th Wheel Hitch for a Ram 2500 w/ a 6-1/2' Bed and the Factory Puck System
  Hey James, welcome back. That B&W item # BWRVK3670 is super reliable but you are not the only one who's had issues with how heavy it is. Love how you have already attempted our go to solution of taking off the lightest portion of the hitch. I have a couple of options for a replacement though. The first is if you want to retain the slider function. It's the Demco Recon 5th Wheel Hitch w/ Slider - Single Jaw item # DM57YV. This hitch also mounts in your puck system and weighs 233 lbs.

• Best Sliding 5th Wheel Hitch For Clean Bed on 2020 Chevy Silverado 2500 With or Without Puck System
  These are really good questions and we can definitely set you up with the right 5th wheel hitch for your 2020 Chevy Silverado 2500 short (also called standard) bed, but to quickly answer your question about underbed brackets, there aren't any that are universal (as nice as that would be), they are only designed to be used with specific 5th wheel hitches. That said, you do have a number of different options, which I'll list for you and then make my recommendation. 5th Wheel Hitch for 2020...

• Will The B&W Companion BWRVK3775 Fit The Pucks On A 2025 GMC Sierra 3500 Short Bed?
  Hi Clarence! The B&W Companion OEM 5th Wheel Hitch w/ Slider for Chevy/GMC Towing Prep Package - Dual Jaw - 20K # BWRVK3775 will indeed attach to those pucks in a 2025 GMC Sierra 3500 short bed. The latches on the sides of the hitch will basically snap it into place and you are good to go. It is also completely removeable, but it's heavy (250 pounds for the base and 70 pounds for the head). If you will be taking it out with any kind of regularity, I highly recommend also grabbing the...

  Hello Ron, Going to be installing it yourself, I can see why you would want to know about the weight. I would make sure to eat a bowl of Wheaties the day of.

• Recommended 5th Wheel Hitch for use w/ a Turning Point Pin Box and the Ford Factory Puck System
  Congrats on all your new toys! I do not think a Curt 5th wheel hitch, like item # C16120, is the best for your set up. You would need to purchase an adapter rail item # C88KR to use this hitch with your puck system. This adds weight, cost, and complication to installing and removing the hitch so you can have full access to your bed. This combo weighs 193 lbs. A way better option, and what I highly recommend, is to use the B&W Companion OEM 5th-Wheel Hitch item # BWRVK3300. This 5th wheel...

• Best Sliding 5th Wheel Hitch for 2019 Ford F-250 Super Duty With Ford Factory Prep Package
  You mentioned wanting a light slider, though I do have to say that all 5th wheel hitches are going to have some heft to them. That said, there are ways to make it more manageable to remove them from the bed, which you can do by removing the head unit first and then the base, though it will still take two people to remove. Having said that, I will give you a couple options, starting with what is absolutely the best sliding 5th wheel hitch for your 2019 Ford F-250 with the factory Ford...

• What 5th Wheel Hitch Should I get for My 2025 F-350 with OEM Prep Package Towing 37' 5th Wheel?
  Hello Branden, Great question. I recommend going with the B&W Companion OEM 5th Wheel Trailer Hitch w Slider for Ford Towing Prep Package - Dual Jaw - 20K # BWRVK3370 because it will go right into your puck system. The Patriot does not have that option, so you’d be looking at adding rails or using an adapter, which kind of defeats the purpose of having the factory prep package. Even though your trailer is a 14k GVWR and within the Patriot’s range, I would still go with the Companion....

• What B&W Companion 5th Wheel Hitch Fits 2020 Ram 3500 With Factory Puck System
  The correct B&W Companion 5th wheel trailer hitch for your 2020 Ram 3500 with the factory puck system is going to depend on if you have a short bed (less than 8 feet) or a long bed: - Short Bed: B&W Companion OEM 5th Wheel Trailer Hitch with Slider for Ram Towing Prep Package # BWRVK3670 - Long Bed: B&W Companion OEM 5th Wheel Hitch for Ram Towing Prep Package # BWRVK3600 This is considered by most to be the best 5th wheel hitch in the industry due to the immense jaw system that ensures...

• Best Sliding 5th Wheel Hitch For A 2023 GMC Sierra 3500 Short Bed
  Hi William! For the best sliding hitches that will fit that puck system in your 2023 GMC Sierra 3500 short bed, you are going to want to check out the following two American made options: B&W Companion OEM 5th Wheel Hitch w/ Slider for Chevy/GMC Towing Prep Package - Dual Jaw - 20K # BWRVK3775 Demco Autoslide 5th Wheel Hitch w/ Slider - Single Jaw - Chevrolet/GMC Prep Package - 21K # DM29GV The B&W is a manual slide, but it is by far the easiest one to actuate on the market.

• Weight Of The B&W Companion OEM # BWRVK3715 Base And Head
  Hi Grant, The B&W Companion OEM 5th Wheel Hitch # BWRVK3715 would be a fit for a 2025 GMC Sierra 3500's puck system. The base # BWRVB3715 weighs 87lbs and the head # BWRVC3006 weighs 70lbs. This is designed for an 8' bed so if you have a short bed you'll want to switch to the slider base version # BWRVK3775 for more turning clearance so that the trailer won't come into contact with the cab of the truck. The slider base # BWRVB3775 weighs quite a bit more at 181lbs so you would definitely...

• Recommended 5th Wheel Hitch For Above Bed Rails In A 2022 GMC Sierra 2500
  Hi Craig! Reese uses industry standard rails for their 5th wheel hitches, so you have a lot of options available to you. It's a bummer they didn't go with the B&W, because they are the best ones on the market, at least in my opinion. So with that said, here are the ones I recommend: Short Bed: B&W Patriot 5th Wheel Trailer Hitch w/ Slider - Dual Jaw - 18,000 lbs # BWRVK3270 Long Bed: B&W Patriot 5th Wheel Trailer Hitch - Dual Jaw - 18,000 lbs # BWRVK3255 B&W hitches are expensive,...

• Curt CrossWing or Sliding 5th Wheel Hitch for a 2021 Ram 2500
  If you are wanting something light weight then the Curt CrossWing Lightweight 5th Wheel Trailer Hitch item # C86JR is the right hitch for you. The CrossWing weighs in at 87 lbs. The main concern with using the CrossWing on your 2021 Ram 2500 is that you have the shorter 6-1/2' bed. This hitch does have a 5" offset that pushes the connection point back towards your tailgate but depending on how large the nose is on your Keystone Montana you may have issues turning and backing.

  The B&W Companion OEM 5th Wheel Trailer Hitch w/ Slider for Ram Towing Prep Package - Dual Jaw - 20K item # BWRVK3670 is heavy! It weighs 300 lbs and comes shipped on a pallet.

• Best Sliding 5th Wheel Hitch for a 2022 GMC Sierra 2500 with OEM Puck System
  The B&W Companion Slider # BWRVK3775 is really hard to argue with as being the best sliding 5th wheel hitch for your 2022 GMC Sierra 2500 with the puck system. Not only is it a great hitch when it comes to quality, but it also has the mounting pieces built right into the base piece so you won't need an adapter like you do with practically every other sliding hitch that fits your pickup. When you couple that with the cushioning system, dual 1" thick locking jaws, and cam-action handle that...

• Do I Need to Lubricate the Surface of a 5th Wheel Hitch?
  Thanks for your purchase. I highly recommend lubrication for your 5th wheel hitch. The Lube Plate for 5th Wheel Trailer Hitches - 10" Diameter item # RP83002 will prevent scratches on your fifth-wheel's skid plate and ease trailer hookup. I saw you purchased the B&W Companion item # BWRVK3715. As you have figured out the B&W Companion weighs over 150 lbs. If that's not something you're interested in moving by yourself and don't want to have to rely on someone to help you then I recommend...

• How Much Does The B&W Companion 5th Wheel Hitch w/ Slider BWRVK3670 Weigh?
  This B&W companion hitch # BWRVK3670 is one of the most well built 5th wheel hitches on the market and weighs in just shy of 300 lbs. One good thing is that the head is easily detachable from the base. The head weighs 70 lbs and the base is about 230 lbs by itself. So you do not have to lift the whole thing at once. B&W also makes a lifting tool part # BWRVXA3130 which can make moving the hitch much easier. The lift tool inserts in the jaw where the king pin would go and basically give...

• Do I Need a Sliding 5th Wheel Hitch for a Short Bed 2023 Silverado 3500 w/ the Factory Puck System?
  Yes, you do need a slider, for turning clearance, to haul a 5th wheel trailer with your 2023 Chevy Silverado 3500. Since your truck has the GM factory puck system, I recommend the B&W Companion OEM 5th Wheel Hitch w/ Slider item # BWRVK3775. The Companion Slider has a 20,000 lbs capacity and will give you 12" of travel for making tight turns and backing. Besides being made in the USA, one of the main reason the Companion is the best option for a sliding 5th wheel is the 1" thick dual jaws...

• Comparing Demco Recon Gooseneck Adapter and B&W Companion on 2021 F-150 with 6-1/2 Bed
  Technically yes, you can use the Demco Recon Gooseneck-to-5th Wheel Trailer Hitch Adapter # DM8550045. The problem is going to be the limited clearance you will have if you choose to go this route. With a fixed 5th wheel hitch on your 2021 Ford F-150 with a 6-1/2 foot bed I would typically recommend a rotating pin box, but you will not be able to use one with an adapter like the Demco Recon. I recommend choosing the B&W Companion 5th Wheel Trailer Hitch # BWRVK3400-5W instead. The built...
