Can You Tow with B&W Companion OEM 5th Wheel Trailer Hitch for Ford OEM Slid Back  

Updated 04/24/2023 | Published 04/23/2023



Question:

Can you travel with the slide in the unlocked position so that any sharp turning will be no issue? I live in a very rural area with many small roads and tight turns and would be concerned about always having to get out to unlock this.

Expert Reply:

In regards to a sliding fifth wheel hitch like the B&W Companion OEM 5th Wheel Trailer Hitch part # BWRVK3370, you can't tow with the hitch slide back away from the cab, this is only used for slow speed turning maneuvers. It would honestly ride horrible with the king pin this far from the rear axle anyhow. If you see yourself making frequent tight turns you might just want to go with the Demco Autoslide 5th Wheel Hitch part # DM8550024 since the slide feature is automatic so there's no getting in and out of the cab each time.
