Can I Get Just The Base Of The B&W Companion For My Newer Ford?
Updated 12/29/2025 | Published 12/01/2025
Question:
Hello, can I purchase just the base? I have a the upright pieces and was wondering if just the base is available. A little back story…. I bought a F350 6 1/2 foot bed to pull out fifth wheel and recently purchased a truck with 8 foot bed. I want to have the option to tow with either truck. In May of last year I purchased the BandW slider hitch, now I’m looking for just the base of the standard 20k, non slider hitch to become versatile. I currently have a 2026 F450, Crew cab, 8 foot bed with puck system.

Hey Kasey,
We do have the base of the B & W hitch # BWRVB3300 for your 2026 Ford with the puck system. It comes with the uprights but not the head. We do not have just the base as a whole without the uprights but this would allow you to rotate the head between the 2 vehicles you plan on towing with. This base would simply drop into those pucks and lock in.
What kind of 5th wheel are you towing?

Hey Kasey, how did things work out with the B&W base for your F450’s puck system? Were you able to swap the hitch head between your two trucks the way you wanted? Your results could really help others trying to tow with multiple vehicles.
