Will a Model 3000 B&W 5th Wheel Trailer Hitch Fit the 3500 Base and Provide a 20K Capacity
Updated 06/26/2014 | Published 06/25/2014
Question:
I have 2006 ford 350 dually 4 wheel drive long bed crew cab. I have already got a model 3000. My question can I buy a model 3500 base and use my top part. Would this up grade my fifth wheel to a 20000 lb. A camper hauler that I am thinking about working for requires my fifth wheel to be a 20000 lb. Thank you for any information you can give.

I spoke with my contact at B&W. I am happy to report that you can mount the 3000 model head on the 3500 model base, # BWRVB3500. And it would provide a 20,000 pound capacity.
Please consult the owners manual for your 2006 Ford F-350 just to make sure it has the capacity you need as well.
