Can B&W Hitch Ball BWHB94002 be Used on Class V Hitch?

Question

Question:

Hi, Your site shows that the BW HB94002 is rated for Class IV, and Class V. However the ball shows that it is Class V-19 Rated? So can a Class V-19 rated ball be used for a Class V hitch?

I could not find a reference to Class V-19, but the B&W 2-5/16" Hitch Ball # BWHB94002 is Class V rated and has a 24,000 lb weight capacity. The hitch ball has a 1-1/4" diameter x 2-1/2" long shank so as long as your ball mount accepts that size shank it would work.

I've added a link to a video review of this hitch ball for you to check out as well.

You will have to go with a sliding hitch to allow the trailer to make tight turns. For a trailer 8 feet wide the only bed length that's going to allow 90 degree turns without a slider is a stationary hitch. That being said you have two options.…

None of the options for the prep package are specifically designed to add height. Depending on the ball you have now you might be able to get a little more height out of the B&W Ball and Safety Chain Kit #BWGNXA2061. The installed height of this…

Yes, the puck system used on the 2016-2019 Chevy/GMC trucks is different than the pucks used on the 2020 and newer trucks. So you would need a 5th wheel like the B&W Companion #BWRVK3710 for your 2020 GMC Sierra 3500 with an 8' Bed. If you…

Hey Mark, Nope, your long bed GMC Sierra 3500 won't require the use of an offset gooseneck hitch ball with the Gen-Y Hitch 5th Wheel to Gooseneck Pin Box #GY58GR. With the gooseneck prep package you can use a standard hitch ball, the B&W Ball…

I spoke with my contact at Trailair and from your serial number we were able to determine that your trailer came with a 1621 HD pin box which is a long pin box style. I was unable to obtain the exact part number for your Trailair pin box but from the…

If you were to use the 4 inch offset ball #BWGNXA4085 the pin weight on the ball will not be changed. What will change is where the weight is carried on the truck. Using the offset ball will put more weight 4 inches back from the center of the…

Hello Gary. For your 2024 Chevy Silverado 2500 HD with short bed it is recommended to have a sliding hitch to ensure that you can get around those really tight turns without damaging the cab of your truck. For a Curt sliding hitch I would recommend…

Answer 9

The difference between the Class II and Class III hitches has to do with their Gross Trailer Weight (GTW), their Tongue Weight (TW), and their Hitch Receiver Size. Class II trailer hitch receivers have a 1-1/4 inch receiver and can be rated up to…

Thanks for the pictures and congrats on the new trailer! You are correct the Gen-Y item #GY98GR would be the correct adapter for your Jayco Eagle. This system replaces the Lippert Rhino pin box and has the extra pin weight capacity you will need. I…

Answer 11

Hey Jeff, so the offset B and W ball part #BWGNXA4085 that you referenced does not fit the OEM gooseneck hitch of your 2023 Ford F-350 as it was designed for B and W aftermarket hitches. Instead you would want the Curt #C68ZV for a 4 inch offset…

Thanks for the picture! That is exactly what I need to confirm what pin box your Forest River Shasta Phoenix 28RB has. I just spoke with my rep at Lippert and you have a 1621 pin box with an 18,000 lbs capacity. You will want the Gen-Y Hitch 5th…
