Question:
Is the Curt PowerRide or B&W Companion a better option for my 2023 Ford F-450?
asked by: Phillip
Expert Reply:
Personally I prefer the B&W Companion OEM 5th Wheel Hitch # BWRVK3305 over the Curt PowerRide 5th Wheel Trailer Hitch # C48BR. With that said the Curt is rated for 30,000lbs while the B&W is only rated up to 25,000lbs so if you need to tow a trailer weighing over 25,000lbs you will want to go with the Curt. I prefer the B&W as it is made in the USA and has the quality B&W is known for. While Curt does not have a bad reputation I do not like the Wear Plates # C52WR on the Curt and if they stop manufacturing the hitch then you will have a hard time replacing them down the road. The B&W uses the more common kin pin mounted Wear Plate # RP83002 which I do not see going away.
