Speaker 1: Today we're going to take a look at the replacement base for the B&W Companion OEM fifth wheel trailer hitch for the Ford Super Duty trucks. This has a 25,000 pound weight capacity. This is a custom fit part, it is designed to fit the 2011 and newer Ford F250, F350, and F450 Super Duty trucks with the eight foot bed, and the factory rail kit. And on a custom fit part, I aways like to recommend for you to go to our website, use our fit guide. Put in your year and model vehicle it'll show you if this'll work for your application.Now this replacement base will fit the B&W Companion OEM fifth wheel trailer hitch, part number BWRVK3305, which we do sell separately on our website. The base here will have adjustable pivot arms.
This'll let you mount the hitch head to fit your application. And when you mount these pivot arms to the base, you can put them in a position to where you can move the arms fore or aft for improved cab clearance. Basically, if you mount them one way, it'll put your king pin three inches in front of the axle. If you turn it around, mount them the other way, it'll get your king pin one inch in front of the axle. So about two inch, fore and aft measurement.Also, when you mount these on, is a different height settings, the hitch height settings.
When you bolt these on, there's five rows of holes in the base. So when you bolt these on, you can raise or lower your three different hitch height settings. Basically, you can set it 16-3/4 inches, 17-3/4 inches, or 18-3/4 inches. And the hitch height is critically, because when you go to tow, you want to be as level as possible.If you notice on the top of these pivot arms, they do have the nice polyurethane bushings that your head'll sit in. That'll offer a nice rattle free ride.
Now to install this into your vehicle, it's a very quickly, simply installation. Basically, all you have to do is drop this into the four receiver pucks that are built into your Ford factory under bed rails. And you do that just by removing this pin and clip, rotating out these handles 90 degrees, and that'll rotate the tabs right there.And you'll do this on each side. Once they're open, just drop them into the pucks. Once they fall into the pucks, rotate your handles back, and that'll lock those tabs into your receiver pucks on your vehicle.
And then just for extra security, you need to just run the pin right through both of the handles. Once you get it run through, clip it, and that locks it into place. So it's very simple installation, and removal.If you notice, has a nice gray powder coat finish to it, for corrosion resistance. It is all steel construction. This part is made in the USA. Again, the specs on this base is gross towing weight capacity of 25,000. And the tongue weight capacity of 6,250 pounds. But that should do it for the review on the replacement base for the B&W Companion OEM fifth wheel trailer hitch for the Ford Super Duty truck. And this has a 25,000 pound weight capacity.

This replacement base fits your B&W Companion fifth-wheel trailer hitch for the Ford Super Duty factory 5th-wheel towing prep package. Unit sits in the sockets in your truck bed for easy installation and removal.So easy to install. Wife and I installed this puck hitch on our 2015 Ford F-450 in twenty minutes.
Easy to install and remove if you need the truck bed. Great quality product.
I'm impressed with the ease of installing and removing the hitch. I previously had the slider version of the hitch in a different truck. Comparitively this hitch will allow me to still use the truck bed when not towing due to the easy removal and a smaller footprint. The hitch has the same sturdy construction that I accustomed to seeing on B&W products. I like knowing that I have a good margin on the max tow capacity. I'm using the hitch in a 2019 Ford F350 Diesel towing a 40 foot and 14,000 pound 5th wheel trailer.
A great hitch, with great service from etrailer!
