Video Transcript for B&W Companion 5th Wheel Trailer Hitch Replacement Slider Base Review
Hey, guys. This is Jake here with etrailer. Today we're gonna be taking a look at the BMW Companion Slider Hitch Replacement Base. There's a couple of different reasons why you would need to get a replacement base. One of which would just be the looks of it. If your old one is getting rusty, or if you had it for a long time and you'd just like a little bit smoother operation, you can either try to rebuild your old one, or just pick up a new one.
It's gonna have all the same specs as your original one did, except you're gonna get those new bushings on top, which are gonna make for smooth operation. And we do have the (indistinct) replacement upright kit if you are looking for that. But, again, it's gonna have that same BMW thick powder coat paint. The sliding operation is gonna be just like the one you already have. Pull the lever, push it back so it lock into place.
There's many different things that could go wrong with these. Like, if you're out on a camping trip or anything like that, and something we're to get tweaked, it's probably better off just picking up a new one, rather than trying to fix it, 'cause there's so many components here that work together, and you want to be safe when you're out on the road. This replacement base is gonna have the same capacities that your old one did, at 20,000 pounds gross trailer weight towing, and 5,000 pounds gross pin weight. That's a downward pressure on the hitch itself. The package that it's designed to fit is for your GM truck.
So, your Chevy's and your GMCs. It should drop right down in the puck system, and then you can lock it into place. So, the bottom line is, if you need a replacement for your GMC or Chevy truck, and you have a BMW Companion Slider Hitch, this is gonna be the one for you and your puck system.

Great customer service! A phone rep helped me troubleshoot my issue so I would order the correct hitch base to fit my truck. Loved the free shipping! And my order arrived 3 days sooner than initially expected!! My hitch fit perfectly and is very solid- well made.

Love this slider. Had some damage done to my truck and 5th wheel when we upgraded due to the extra nose length. This has been a life saver. I no longer am afraid to make a sharp turn.
by: Rick 03/22/2023
Arrived in great condition as expected. We've had the old style BW 5th wheel hitch with the square peg, this new base is a good cost effective way to use the same head in our new 2500 tow vehicle.

I recently sold my old truck and purchased a new one. Of course, the single mount hitch doesn't fit the new truck. I called etrailer to see if I can use the same hitch. The person, don't remember her name, said lets see what we can do. She said you cannot use base you have for the new truck. Here's what we can do. Purchase just the Slider Base then you can use the original head assembly. That's was great. You saved me about $600 by keeping my original head assembly. I really like my B&W companion hitch. The only problem I had with the new base was how to easily lineup the pins to the truck pucks. The instructions made me think it was easy, not so much. Anyway, that is my only complaint but I think after a few times of removing and install, we'll get better at it.

Adam did a great job...set reasonable delivery expectations and exceeded them.
.give him a raise.
Product priced fairly and top of the line!!
by: Julie 07/29/2022
Quick delivery! Hitch was packaged excellent! Great product for our new fifth wheel!
by: Don 12/15/2020
So far, so good. I've mounted it in the truck, and everything fits as advertised. RV is in winter storage, so it will probably be several months before I pull with it
Comments
Not great. Faring on the top rear of the cab on my 2020 GMC Sierra Denali reduces clearance by ~6 in, therefore the turning radius is severely restricted. One too many RV-to-cab contacts. Although Im sure under the right circumstance, this hitch would be great, it didnt work for me. I was able to trade my B&W hitch to a local RV dealer for an Anderson hitch, which works out much better for my purposes.
Don - 12/16/2021by: Steven 05/28/2021
Well when I originally ordered this hitch for my new truck they said it was on back order and probably wouldn’t ship until June 22-24 but here it it the 28th of may and I received today and already have it assembled and installed in my 2021 GMC Sierra 3500 DENALI. I have used B&W hitches in the past and IMHO I think they are a top notch quality product. I have also Purchased from etrailer in the past and their prices can’t be beat. I look forward to shopping there again.
Thanks etrailer

So excited to receive our 5th wheel Slider base. It arrived at least 2 weeks earlier than expected.
by: Grego08/19/2022
The same superior construction and design I've come to know and expect from B&W.
by: Curtis 10/01/2022
It fit perfect.

The other parts numbers you referenced are for the old puck system, not the new updated design for 2020 models.

However, in order to avoid having to replace the entire hitch you can replace just the base portion and reuse the head. There are three bases available which I have attached for you below: Fixed 20K Base - part # BWRVB3710 Fixed 25K Base - part # BWRVB3715 Slider 20K Base - part # BWRVB3775

The only way to convert an existing standard B&W Companion for use with the Chevy/GMC puck system is by replacing the base with a Companion base that fits your puck system.
