Question:
What is the design difference in the B and W Campanion base for a 2011 and newer superduty that makes the bw3300 base rated at 20k and the bw3305 25k?

Expert Reply:
I can confirm that difference between the # BWRVK3300 and the # BWRVK3305 is not the head and is the construction of the base of the hitch, which is where you get the difference in capacities between the two hitches. The 3300 is only rated for 20,000-lbs where the 3305 is rated to pull 25,000-lbs.
B and W didn't get specific but essentially the base is made a little more heavy duty with thicker steel used in areas.
