Question:
What is the difference between the Curt A25 and the B&W Companion hitches for my 2021 GMC Sierra 3500 with an 8-foot bed and OEM prep?

Expert Reply:
There are a few differences between the Curt A25 # C24FR and the B&W Companion # BWRVK3710 that are compatible with your 2021 GMC Sierra's 8-foot bed with OEM prep. First off, the Curt A25 has a 25,000 pound maximum gross towing weight capacity/6,250 pound maximum tongue weight capacity compared the the B&W Companion's 20,000 pound gross towing weight capacity/5,000 pound maximum tongue weight towing capacity. As far as adjustment style, the A25 includes a maximum height adjustment of 4 inches while the Companion has 3 different height settings that fit your specifications. Lastly, the A25 has a color coded 3-point indicator system that tells you if hitch is ready to uncouple, couple, or tow. The Companion does not have this function.
With all of these differences, I recommend the Curt A25 due to the increased weight capacity and extra indicator functions. I went ahead and attached videos of both of these hitches to highlight some of the differences.
