Compatibility of Using an Older B&W Hitch Head on a Replacement B&W 5th Wheel Hitch Base
Updated 09/08/2017 | Published 09/07/2017
Question:
I have an older companion hitch that I have really enjoyed using. I purchased a new 2017 chevy with the factory 5th wheel/ goose neck installed I want to purchase the BandW base that fits the factory installed hitch. My question is, will my 10 year old BandW Companion head fit the new BandW base. Thanks

Expert Reply:
Yes, you will be able to use your current B&W Companion head with the Replacement Base for B&W Companion OEM 5th Wheel Trailer Hitch for Chevy/GMC, # BWRVB3700.
I confirmed with my contact at B&W that the Companion heads are interchangeable between the bases. Using the # BWRVB3700 base on your 2017 Chevrolet Silverado 3500 will give you a gross towing weight of 20,000 lbs.
