Weight of B&W Companion For 2021 Ram 3500 w/ OEM Puck System

Updated 12/23/2021 | Published 12/22/2021

Question:

Can you please tell me how much the head weighs and how much the mount weighs for this hitch? It is for the oem puck system. BWRVK3600 weight. We are upgrading the fifth wheel hitch too. We just purchased a 2021 Ram 3500 DRW 8' box Crew Cab. It has the oem puck system. Which hitch do you recommend that is a great fit for the Ram?

The head weighs 70 lbs and the base weighs 150 lbs for the B&W Companion OEM 5th Wheel Hitch for Ram Towing Prep Package # BWRVK3600.

And as for the recommendation, the Companion is exactly what I would recommend for your 2021 Ram 3500 with the OEM puck system. There are number of reasons why the Companion # BWRVK3600 is the best 5th wheel hitch available; it has a massive jaw system, cushioned bushings, a pivoting head, and durable steel construction, all of which combine to help ensure you have the best possible towing experience.

The jaws on the Companion are a full 1 inch thick - significantly larger than other hitches - and are why the Companion does the best job of minimizing any movement of the king pin (I've added a photo of the jaws for you to check out). This means much less chucking, jarring and noise relative to other hitches.

So the most comfortable way for you to tow a 5th wheel trailer with your '21 Ram 3500 will absolutely be with the B&W Companion # BWRVK3600.
