B&W Trailer Hitches boosts fifth wheel hitch load capacity

The load capacity of the Whisper-Quiet Companion Fifth Wheel Hitch from B&W Trailer Hitches has been raised to 20,000 lbs. B&W’s earlier Companion model had an18,000-lb towing capacity.

The new RVB3500 Companion fifth wheel aftermarket trailer hitch employs the company’s Turnoverball mounting design and is designed for heavier trailers and pickups with varying truck bed configurations. The hitch features two adjustable pivot arms that can be oriented horizontally, relative to the truck’s axle, and vertically to allow trailers to clear the taller truck bed walls on many late-model pickups. The new hitch also has adjustable plastic feet to accommodate mounting in a variety of truck bed corrugation patterns.

The RVB3500 Companion fifth wheel aftermarket trailer hitch fits virtually any pickup truck make and model, including any 2013 RAM 3500, without a factory-installed hitch prep package.
