The B&W Companion OEM 5th Wheel Trailer Hitch item # BWRVK3370 weighs 262 lbs. It has been confirmed to fit the puck system in the new 2024 Ford trucks.

If weight is an issue, I recommend purchasing the B&W 5th Wheel Lifting Device for Companion item # BWRVXA3130. This heavy duty steel tool lets you lift your B&W 5th-wheel hitch from your truck bed with a hoist. The 5th-Wheel jaws clamp around the device for a secure grip.
