Question:
B&W Companion hitch for a 2020 Super Duty with the pucks. How do I choose the best orientation for the arms that hold the head?
asked by: Keith
Expert Reply:
There are 6 different orientations for the pivot arms that come with the B&W Companion and the correct location really just depends on the application. If you a 2020 Ford Super Duty with a short bed then you need the slider Companion # BWRVK3370 and it is recommended to have the pivot arm oriented farthest from the cab for best clearance. For a long bed you'll use either the 20K # BWRVK3300 of the 25K # BWRVK3305 Companion and then use either of the positions.
For height you just need to get your trailer as level as possible while also making sure that you have about 5" - 6" of clearance above your truck bed rails.
I have attached some photos to assist you with finding the correct orientation for your application.
