B&W Trailer Hitches is an American manufacturer known for durable, innovative towing products, including gooseneck hitches, fifth-wheel hitches, receiver hitches, and ball mounts. Built in Kansas by employee-owners, B&W products are engineered for dependable performance, easy installation, and long-lasting quality.
B&W Trailer Hitches is an American manufacturer known for building innovative, dependable towing products designed to make hitching easier and towing more comfortable. The company began in 1987 in Humboldt, Kansas, when founders Roger Baker and Joe Works combined their fabrication experience to build custom truck beds and solve common problems faced by truck owners.
B&W changed the gooseneck hitch industry with the introduction of the Turnoverball Gooseneck Hitch. Its under-bed mounting system and reversible hitch ball allowed truck owners to quickly store the ball beneath the bed, leaving a clean and unobstructed surface when the hitch was not in use. B&W later applied the same practical approach to the Companion Fifth Wheel Hitch, creating a removable fifth-wheel hitch engineered for a quiet, smooth, and secure towing experience.
Today, B&W manufactures gooseneck hitches, fifth-wheel hitches, receiver hitches, ball mounts, and towing accessories at its nearly 600,000-square-foot facility. The company is owned by approximately 500 employee-owners who remain committed to American manufacturing, trusted materials, skilled craftsmanship, and long-lasting product quality.
Whether you are towing a work trailer, livestock trailer, camper, or fifth wheel, B&W Trailer Hitches offers thoughtfully engineered towing equipment built to perform mile after mile.

Call 888-634-9494The Companion 25K Hitch is a gooseneck hitch system rated for a maximum trailer weight of 25,000 lbs and a maximum tongue weight of 6,250 lbs. It is designed to fit Ford OEM Puck System trucks and features a coupler that connects to a 5th wheel trailer king pin. The hitch includes a base with pivot arms, a coupler with jaws, and a leveling kit for height adjustment.
The Companion 25K Hitch is designed to fit Ford OEM Puck System trucks. The hitch mounts to the truck bed using the factory puck attachment points. If your truck has a Ford OEM Puck System, the hitch will fit. Consult your truck manufacturer's documentation to confirm your truck has this system, or contact B&W Trailer Hitches at 800.248.6564 or hitches@turnoverball.com for fitment verification.
Yes. The pivot arms can be mounted in one of six different locations on the bolt plate, allowing flexibility in both vertical adjustment (coupler height) and horizontal adjustment (distance from the cab). The six positions provide heights ranging from 16-3/4" (lowest) to 18-3/4" (highest), and horizontal positions from 1" to 3" in front of the axle. Choose a location so the trailer will be as level as possible and have adequate turning clearance while towing.
Measure from the center of the coupler to the cab of the truck and from the king pin or pivot point of the trailer to the furthest forward corner of the trailer. Compare these measurements to ensure proper clearance when towing. Also inspect the clearance between the bed sides and the underside of the front of the trailer to ensure there is room for the pitch and roll of the trailer while towing. Inadequate clearance may lead to property damage or serious injury.
Installation requires: a large torque wrench capable of measuring 110 ft-lbs, a 3/4" socket, a 7/16" socket, a 9/16" socket or wrench, a 7/32" Allen wrench, a hammer, and a pair of needle-nose pliers.
The hitch includes two bolt bags: the Base Bolt Bag (RVB3305) contains 2 pivot arms, 8 1/2" x 2" hex cap screws, 8 1/2" lock washers, 4 threaded blocks, 1 wire torsion spring, 1 mounting clip, 1 1/4" x 1 1/2" cap screw, and 1 1/4" lock nut. The Coupler Bolt Bag (RVC3006) contains 2 3/8" button head cap screws and 2 3/8" flanged lock nuts. The hitch also includes a coupler with jaws, coupler handle, safety pin, saddle with handles, and locking and latch pins.
Remove any debris and obstructions from the truck bed, including any plastic caps over the attachment points. It may be necessary to remove plastic grommets from around the mounting points to fully seat the base down to the truck. Remove all parts from packaging and familiarize yourself with all parts and tools required. Verify that all parts and hardware are present using the parts list.
1. Choose one of six mounting locations from Table A1 based on desired coupler height and distance from cab. 2. Locate both pivot arms, four threaded blocks, eight 1/2" cap screws, and eight 1/2" lock washers. 3. Place lock washers over the cap screws. 4. Align the flat side of the pivot arm flat against the bolt plate and install four 1/2" cap screws through the holes on the arm. 5. Locate the threaded blocks and ensure the side with smooth holes is flat against the bolt plate (critical for proper function). 6. Pass the threaded block under the base's side, align with each set of screws, and start each screw. 7. After all screws are started, torque each bolt to 110 ft-lbs. WARNING: Installing threaded blocks backward will not allow pivot arms to be fully tightened and could lead to hitch failure.
1. Locate the 1/4" cap screw and nut, wire torsion spring, and mounting clip. 2. Pass the 1/4" cap screw through the mounting clip and wire spring. 3. Thread the 1/4" lock nut onto the 1/4" cap screw and tighten just enough that the spring stays in place but can still rotate around the bolt if needed. 4. Locate the flange on the driver side pivot arm closest to the truck cab. 5. Position the clip so that when the spring's coil is in line with the edge of the arm, there will be 1/2" of clearance between the bottom of the polyurethane bushing and the top of the spring. 6. Drive the clip securely onto the flange with a hammer.
1. Remove the latch pins from each side of the base and rotate the handles out. 2. Position the base over the attachment points. 3. Carefully lower it until the latch cams pass through the floor and the base rests flat against the top of the attachment points. 4. Remove the cotter pins from each of the four castle nuts. 5. Engage the cams with each attachment point by turning the latch handles back to their latched position. If a handle will not turn easily, loosen the castle nut until the cam will freely turn and engage the attachment point. 6. With the base firmly held down and each latch handle closed, replace the latch pins. 7. Adjust the tension in the latch handle by tightening the castle nut until snug, then rotate the handle open and closed repeatedly, tightening slightly each time, until the cam engages the attachment point with friction but the handle can still be closed by hand without forcing.
1. Locate the two 3/8" x 1-1/4" button head cap screws and two 3/8" flanged lock nuts from the coupler bolt bag. 2. Pull out the coupler arm and pin it with the safety locking pin near the base of the arm. 3. Using the button cap screws and lock nuts, attach the coupler handle to the arm and tighten. 4. Pull out the coupler handle safety pin. CAUTION: Pulling the arm out away from the coupler creates a pinch point. Use caution when installing the handle to avoid injury.
1. Lubricate the polyurethane bushings on top of the pivot arms with high grade lithium grease. 2. Place the coupler over the pivot arms (the saddle handles should be parallel with the base in the latched position). 3. Place the saddle lock pins through the saddle. 4. Insert the hairpins through the holes in the end of the saddle lock pins to secure the coupler to the pivot arms.
Adjust the resting angle of the coupler plate by rotating the spring on the driver side pivot arm. Pulling the top of the spring away from the cab will increase the angle of the coupler plate. Set the angle of the coupler so that it will tilt away from the cab when coupling. Tighten the 1/4" nut once the spring's orientation is set.
All eight 1/2" x 2" cap screws that secure the pivot arms to the bolt plate must be torqued to 110 ft-lbs. This torque must be applied after all screws are started.
The six mounting positions for the pivot arms provide the following dimensions: Vertical adjustment ranges from 16-3/4" (lowest positions) to 18-3/4" (highest positions), with medium positions at 17-3/4". Horizontal adjustment ranges from 1" in front of the axle (position farthest from cab) to 3" in front of the axle (position closest to cab).
When the leveling kit is installed, there should be 1/2" of clearance between the bottom of the polyurethane bushing and the top of the spring when the spring's coil is in line with the edge of the pivot arm.
The Companion 25K Hitch is rated for a maximum trailer weight of 25,000 lbs and a maximum tongue weight of 6,250 lbs. Do not exceed these ratings or the tow or tongue rating of the coupler, hitch, truck, or trailer. Exceeding these ratings may cause damage to towing components or loss of attachment between the trailer and truck.
Before each tow, perform a visual inspection of the hitch. Check that all pinned connections are secure and all bolted connections are at the correct torque specification. Check for cracks or damage to the hitch. Do not tow with the hitch if cracks or damage outside of normal wear is found. Towing with a damaged hitch could result in damage to the tow vehicle, trailer, towing components, or loss of attachment between the tow vehicle and trailer.
1. Remove the safety pin from the coupler handle and open it. 2. Adjust the height of the 5th wheel trailer so that the king pin plate is slightly lower than the top of the coupler. 3. Back the truck toward the trailer, centering the trailer's king pin in the coupler, until the king pin engages the jaws. 4. Close the coupler handle and insert the safety pin through the handle and the coupler. 5. Connect the brake and lighting systems before towing. WARNING: Failure to correctly close the handle and attach the safety pin may result in a loss of attachment between the trailer and the tow vehicle, leading to property damage, serious injury, or death.
The pull test verifies that the trailer is properly connected before towing. 1. Ensure the truck is stationary with the emergency brake engaged and the tailgate down. 2. Ensure trailer wheels are chocked and landing gear is down, supporting the trailer's weight. 3. Confirm no one is between the truck and trailer. 4. Release the emergency brake and engage the trailer brakes. 5. Gently attempt to pull the trailer forward with the truck. When properly connected, the trailer will prevent the truck from moving. If the truck and trailer are not correctly attached, the trailer will separate from the truck.
Yes. Additional caution must be used when towing a wedge car trailer. Towing stability greatly depends on keeping the center of gravity as low as possible. Load heavy cars over the axles. Never tow with a single car on the front of the trailer. When towing a wedge car trailer, never exceed speeds that are reasonable for the roadway conditions (e.g., turns, going around a curve, etc.). Failure to account for proper trailer center of gravity and speeds that are reasonable for the roadway conditions may cause damage to the truck, trailer, towing components, and loss of attachment between the truck and trailer.
Pin boxes with a wedge that relocates the pivot point, such as a Reese Sidewinder or Reese Revolution, may be used. However, some pin boxes such as a PullRite SuperGlide capture plate remove the pivot point between a trailer and coupler and should not be used. Towing a trailer without a functioning pivot point between the hitch and trailer will cause significant damage to the hitch which may lead to serious injury or death.
Approximately 15%-25% of the trailer weight should be on the hitch. This ensures proper weight distribution and towing stability.
1. Grease the saddle through the grease zerk approximately every six months with multi-purpose grease. This allows the coupler to pivot freely. 2. Grease the jaws with multi-purpose automotive type chassis grease. 3. Lubricate the top surface of the coupler with multi-purpose automotive type chassis grease or use a nylon lube plate to provide a lubricated surface. 4. Check base latch handle tension and all bolted connections regularly. The latches must have the proper resistance when rotating, and bolts must have proper torque. 5. Always perform a visual inspection before towing.
1. Lower landing gear and chock the trailer wheels. 2. Raise the trailer until the tongue weight is removed from the truck. 3. Unpin the coupler handle and rotate to the open position to unlatch the jaws. If the jaws do not open, readjusting the landing gear may relieve pressure and allow them to open. 4. Use the safety pin to lock the handle in the open position. 5. When you are sure that the landing gear will support the trailer, move the truck forward to release the jaws from the king pin. The jaws will always open when the pressure of the trailer is taken off the coupler as the truck pulls away.
To uninstall the hitch: 1. Remove the saddle lock pins. 2. Grab the saddle handles and lift to remove the coupler from the pivot arms. 3. To remove the base, remove the latch pins from each side of the base and turn the handles. 4. Carefully lift and position the base out of the attachment points.
The Companion 25K Hitch (Model 3305) is designed to fit Ford OEM Puck System trucks. Verify your truck has this system in your owner's manual, or contact B&W at 800.248.6564 for fitment confirmation.
Yes. Remove all debris and obstructions from the truck bed, including plastic caps over attachment points and plastic grommets around mounting points, to allow the base to fully seat.
All eight 1/2" x 2" cap screws securing the pivot arms must be torqued to 110 ft-lbs after all screws are started.
Maximum trailer weight is 25,000 lbs and maximum tongue weight is 6,250 lbs. Do not exceed these ratings or you risk damage to towing components and loss of attachment.
Perform a visual inspection: verify all pinned connections are secure, all bolted connections are at correct torque, and check for cracks or damage. Do not tow if damage is found.
Grease the saddle through the grease zerk approximately every six months with multi-purpose grease. Also grease the jaws with multi-purpose automotive chassis grease.
If a latch handle will not turn easily, loosen the castle nut until the cam will freely turn and engage the attachment point. Then readjust the tension following the proper procedure: tighten the castle nut until snug, rotate the handle open and closed, tighten slightly, and repeat until proper tension is achieved.
If the jaws do not open, readjusting the landing gear may relieve pressure and allow them to open. Lower the landing gear and chock the trailer wheels, then raise the trailer until the tongue weight is removed from the truck. This should relieve pressure on the jaws and allow them to open.
If the truck can move during the pull test, the truck and trailer are not correctly attached. The trailer will separate from the truck. Do not tow. Verify that the coupler handle is fully closed and the safety pin is properly inserted through the handle and coupler. Check that the king pin is properly engaged in the coupler jaws.
