It adjusts on pins so every trailer tows level, it carries two ball sizes on a rotating swing arm so you are not carrying spare mounts, and when the trailer stays home the head swings up and stows behind the bumper instead of waiting there for your shins and your garage door. This TS20037B is the 2.5\" shank version with a 5\" drop, built for three-quarter-ton and one-ton pickups. A 5\" drop is the drop most stock full-size trucks actually need, because a factory receiver usually sits a few inches above where a loaded trailer coupler wants to be. The swing arm carries a 2\" ball and a 2-5\/16\" ball, which between them cover the coupler on almost every boat, utility, dump, equipment and travel trailer sold in North America. The black finish is B\u0026amp;W's two-step system, an e-coat inside and out followed by powder coat, so the corrosion protection reaches the inside of the tube as well as the outside. Capacity follows the ball you are actually towing on, never a single headline number: 18,000 lb GTW and 1,800 lb tongue weight on the 2-5\/16\" ball; 7,500 lb GTW and 750 lb tongue weight on the 2\" ball. Whichever number applies, your real limit is the lowest-rated part of the whole setup, which may well be the truck or the receiver rather than the hitch. Every Tow \u0026amp; Stow is tested for strength and endurance to SAE J-684, ships with B\u0026amp;W's stainless steel pins, and is built by B\u0026amp;W in Humboldt, Kansas.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhat's Included:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eTow \u0026amp; Stow adjustable ball mount body with 2.5\" shank, two-step e-coat and black powder coat\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eRotating swing arm with two balls fitted (2\" and 2-5\/16\")\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eB\u0026amp;W stainless steel adjustment and swing-arm pins with clips\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eB\u0026amp;W Tow \u0026amp; Stow Owner's Manual\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eNot included: hitch pin and clip or locking pin for securing the shank in the receiver, sold separately (see TS51230)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"embed-container\" style=\"position:relative;padding-bottom:56.25%;height:0;overflow:hidden;max-width:100%;\"\u003e\u003ciframe src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/gmHU1EzpFtI\" style=\"position:absolute;top:0;left:0;width:100%;height:100%;\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen\u003e\u003c\/iframe\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eFeatures\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eHeight Adjusts on Two Pins, No Tools\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003ePull the two stainless adjustment pins, slide the head to the height that tows your trailer level, and put the pins back. That is the whole procedure, and it takes longer to walk around the truck than to do it. A level trailer tracks better, brakes better and wears its tires evenly, which is the real reason B\u0026amp;W built the adjustment in rather than selling you a stack of fixed-drop mounts. When you need the ball above the receiver instead of below it, invert the shank in the receiver and the same head works the other way up.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eRated Per Ball, Not Per Hitch\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe 2-5\/16\" ball is the one that carries the big numbers on this hitch: 18,000 lb gross trailer weight and 1,800 lb tongue weight. Rotate to a smaller ball and the rating comes down with it, to 7,500 lb on the 2\" ball. B\u0026amp;W publishes capacity per ball rather than as one figure because the ball in use is what sets the limit, and it is worth knowing which number you are actually towing under.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e5\" of Drop, and Why That Number\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eA 5\" drop is the volume seller for a reason: a factory receiver on a stock full-size pickup usually sits three to six inches above where a loaded trailer coupler wants to be, and 5\" lands in the middle of that. It is the safe first guess for a stock truck pulling a tandem-axle utility, dump or travel trailer, and it still has adjustment either side of level once it is in the receiver. B\u0026amp;W builds the same hitch in 7\" (TS20040B) and 8.5\" (TS20043B) if your measurement lands somewhere else.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eTwo Balls on One Rotating Swing Arm\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003ePull the single swing-arm pin, rotate the ball you need into the towing position, and re-pin. The balls fitted here are 2\" and 2-5\/16\". Nothing comes apart, nothing gets left in the driveway, and there is no second ball mount rolling around the back seat when the boat trailer and the equipment trailer use different couplers.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eStows Behind the Bumper\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eWhen the trailer stays home, rotate the head up and stow it under the bumper. A stowed Tow \u0026amp; Stow is not sticking out at shin height in a parking lot, it is not the thing that stops the garage door closing, and it is not out there collecting the first hit when someone parks by feel. B\u0026amp;W's own advice is to stow it in whichever position gives you the most ground clearance.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eThe Swing Arm Cannot Be Removed While It Is Locked In\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eOnce the hitch is locked into your receiver, the adjustable arm cannot be pulled off, so locking the shank locks the whole hitch. A slide-pin retention system keeps the arm and balls attached even with the adjustment pins out. A handful of receiver designs leave enough clearance to defeat this, and for those B\u0026amp;W supplies an anti-theft plate through its customer service line.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eTested to SAE J-684\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eSAE J-684 is the strength and endurance standard for bumper-pull hitches, and every Tow \u0026amp; Stow is tested to it. B\u0026amp;W's general habit is to over-test rather than test to the minimum: on its gooseneck and fifth wheel products it runs a single hitch through all three 300,000-cycle dynamic tests and the six static tests instead of using a fresh sample for each.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eTwo-Step E-Coat and Powder Coat\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eB\u0026amp;W finishes the black Tow \u0026amp; Stow in two stages, an e-coat that reaches inside the tube as well as outside, then powder coat over the top. That matters on a part that lives behind the rear wheels in salt and road spray, because rust on a ball mount usually starts where you cannot see it.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eStainless Steel Pins, Included\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe adjustment and swing-arm pins are stainless steel with clips, and they are in the box. B\u0026amp;W asks that you only use B\u0026amp;W pins in a Tow \u0026amp; Stow, and that you pull them occasionally, wipe them off and put a thin coat of white lithium grease on them so they keep sliding freely through years of road salt.

The two things to check before ordering are the receiver opening and the drop. Measure the receiver with any reducer sleeve pulled out, because a sleeve reduces the hitch's tow rating and adds rattle. For the drop, park the truck and the loaded trailer on level ground and measure from the ground to the top of the receiver opening and from the ground to the bottom of the trailer coupler: the difference is the drop you want, and B\u0026amp;W builds this line in several drops so you can land close. Remember the head can also be inverted in the receiver when you need the ball above the receiver instead of below it. B\u0026amp;W asks that you keep at least 11\" of clearance from the ground to the lowest part of the hitch.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eSpecifications\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cb\u003eModel:\u003c\/b\u003e Tow \u0026amp; Stow Adjustable Ball Mount\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cb\u003eB\u0026amp;W Part Number:\u003c\/b\u003e TS20037B\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cb\u003eShank Size:\u003c\/b\u003e 2.5\", fits a 2-1\/2\" square receiver\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cb\u003eDrop:\u003c\/b\u003e 5\"\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cb\u003eBall Sizes:\u003c\/b\u003e 2\", 2-5\/16\"\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cb\u003eRating with the 2-5\/16\" Ball:\u003c\/b\u003e 18,000 lb GTW \/ 1,800 lb tongue weight\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cb\u003eRating with the 2\" Ball:\u003c\/b\u003e 7,500 lb GTW \/ 750 lb tongue weight\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cb\u003eAdjustment:\u003c\/b\u003e Pin-and-hole height adjustment, no tools, and the head can be inverted in the receiver\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cb\u003ePins:\u003c\/b\u003e B\u0026amp;W stainless steel pins with clips, included\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cb\u003eFinish:\u003c\/b\u003e Two-step e-coat and black powder coat\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cb\u003eMaterial:\u003c\/b\u003e Steel\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cb\u003eTesting:\u003c\/b\u003e Tested for strength and endurance to SAE J-684, the standard for bumper-pull hitches\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cb\u003eProduct Weight:\u003c\/b\u003e 31 lb\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cb\u003eUPC:\u003c\/b\u003e 843233003710\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cb\u003eWarranty:\u003c\/b\u003e B\u0026amp;W Lifetime Exclusive Limited Warranty\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cb\u003eMade In:\u003c\/b\u003e USA, Humboldt, Kansas\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eInstallation\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eType:\u003c\/b\u003e Drop-in.

They got tired of the gooseneck ball welded permanently into the middle of a bed, so they designed one that turned over and stowed flush when the trailer stayed home. That was the Turnoverball, and it is still the product the company is best known for. A few years later the same under-bed mounting idea became the Companion fifth wheel hitch, and today B\u0026amp;W builds the Turnoverball, the Companion, the Tow \u0026amp; Stow and the Continuum weight distribution hitch in a plant in Humboldt that has grown past 490,000ft².

That shows up in how the products get tested. B\u0026amp;W treats SAE J-2638 for gooseneck and fifth wheel hitches as a floor rather than a finish line: instead of using a fresh hitch for each test, it puts a single hitch through all three of the 300,000-cycle dynamic tests and then the six static tests, so the part that passes has already lived a hard life. The Tow \u0026amp; Stow line is tested for strength and endurance to SAE J-684, the standard for bumper-pull hitches.

The idea was simple and nobody else had done it: a gooseneck ball that turns over and stores flush with the bed floor, so the truck bed goes back to being a truck bed the moment you unhook. That one product built the company, and B\u0026amp;W still makes its hitches in Humboldt, in a plant that has grown to about 600,000ft². The company has been 100% employee-owned since 2007, with roughly 500 employee-owners who have a stake in what comes off the line.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe testing story is worth knowing, because it is not how the rest of the industry does it. SAE J-2638, the standard for gooseneck and fifth-wheel hitches, is a recommended practice, and it is common to satisfy it with a fresh sample for each test. B\u0026amp;W runs a single hitch through all three 300,000-cycle dynamic tests and the six static tests, one after another, on the same unit. The Tow \u0026amp; Stow line is tested to SAE J-684.

The idea was simple and nobody else had done it: a gooseneck ball that turns over and stores flush with the bed floor, so the truck bed goes back to being a truck bed the moment you unhook. That one product built the company, and B\u0026amp;W still makes its hitches in Humboldt, in a plant that has grown to about 600,000ft². The company has been 100% employee-owned since 2007, with roughly 500 employee-owners who have a stake in what comes off the line.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe testing story is worth knowing, because it is not how the rest of the industry does it. SAE J-2638, the standard for gooseneck and fifth-wheel hitches, is a recommended practice, and it is common to satisfy it with a fresh sample for each test. B\u0026amp;W runs a single hitch through all three 300,000-cycle dynamic tests and the six static tests, one after another, on the same unit. The Tow \u0026amp; Stow line is tested to SAE J-684. Every B\u0026amp;W-brand product is covered by the company's Lifetime Exclusive Limited Warranty to the original consumer, against defects in material and workmanship, for as long as that person owns it.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003ePrestige Truck is an authorized B\u0026amp;W dealer.

Everything you haul that is longer or heavier than the bed wants to keep going forward when the truck stops, and the only things between it and you are the back of the cab and the rear glass. This is B\u0026amp;W's answer: a heavy-duty steel headache rack, built specifically for 2009-2018 Dodge and Ram 1500, 2019-2023 Ram 1500 Classic, and 2010-2026 Dodge and Ram 2500 and 3500 so it lines up with the bed and the cab rather than being clamped on and hoped for. It carries four LED lights across the top rail, tie-down brackets built into the frame, and grab handles at the sides for getting in and out of the bed, and the slotted panel lets you see through it in the mirror instead of blanking out the rear view. The finish is a durable powder coat, which is what keeps a steel structure that lives in the weather from looking tired after two winters. It weighs about 128 lb, so it is a freight item and a two-person installation. Fitment exclusions matter on this one: RamBox beds are excluded across the board, and on the 1500 and 1500 Classic the 5'7\" bed is excluded as well, so check your bed before ordering.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhat's Included:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eB\u0026amp;W cab protector, black powder coat\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFour integrated LED lights, wired\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMounting hardware for 2009-2018 Dodge and Ram 1500, 2019-2023 Ram 1500 Classic, and 2010-2026 Dodge and Ram 2500 and 3500\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eInstallation instructions\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eFeatures\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eBuilt for One Job\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eWhen a heavy load shifts forward, the cab protector and the rear glass are all that stand between the load and the people in the cab.

The idea was simple and nobody else had done it: a gooseneck ball that turns over and stores flush with the bed floor, so the truck bed goes back to being a truck bed the moment you unhook. That one product built the company, and B\u0026amp;W still makes its hitches in Humboldt, in a plant that has grown to about 600,000ft². The company has been 100% employee-owned since 2007, with roughly 500 employee-owners who have a stake in what comes off the line.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe testing story is worth knowing, because it is not how the rest of the industry does it. SAE J-2638, the standard for gooseneck and fifth-wheel hitches, is a recommended practice, and it is common to satisfy it with a fresh sample for each test. B\u0026amp;W runs a single hitch through all three 300,000-cycle dynamic tests and the six static tests, one after another, on the same unit. The Tow \u0026amp; Stow line is tested to SAE J-684. Every B\u0026amp;W-brand product is covered by the company's Lifetime Exclusive Limited Warranty to the original consumer, against defects in material and workmanship, for as long as that person owns it.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003ePrestige Truck is an authorized B\u0026amp;W dealer.

Everything you haul that is longer or heavier than the bed wants to keep going forward when the truck stops, and the only things between it and you are the back of the cab and the rear glass. This is B\u0026amp;W's answer: a heavy-duty steel headache rack, built specifically for 2019 Chevrolet 1500 LD and GMC 1500 Limited, 1988-2018 Chevrolet and GMC 1500, and 2000-2010 Chevrolet and GMC 2500 and 3500 so it lines up with the bed and the cab rather than being clamped on and hoped for. It carries four LED lights across the top rail, tie-down brackets built into the frame, and grab handles at the sides for getting in and out of the bed, and the slotted panel lets you see through it in the mirror instead of blanking out the rear view. The finish is a durable powder coat, which is what keeps a steel structure that lives in the weather from looking tired after two winters.

The idea was simple and nobody else had done it: a gooseneck ball that turns over and stores flush with the bed floor, so the truck bed goes back to being a truck bed the moment you unhook. That one product built the company, and B\u0026amp;W still makes its hitches in Humboldt, in a plant that has grown to about 600,000ft². The company has been 100% employee-owned since 2007, with roughly 500 employee-owners who have a stake in what comes off the line.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe testing story is worth knowing, because it is not how the rest of the industry does it. SAE J-2638, the standard for gooseneck and fifth-wheel hitches, is a recommended practice, and it is common to satisfy it with a fresh sample for each test. B\u0026amp;W runs a single hitch through all three 300,000-cycle dynamic tests and the six static tests, one after another, on the same unit. The Tow \u0026amp; Stow line is tested to SAE J-684. Every B\u0026amp;W-brand product is covered by the company's Lifetime Exclusive Limited Warranty to the original consumer, against defects in material and workmanship, for as long as that person owns it.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003ePrestige Truck is an authorized B\u0026amp;W dealer.

Everything you haul that is longer or heavier than the bed wants to keep going forward when the truck stops, and the only things between it and you are the back of the cab and the rear glass.

It carries four LED lights across the top rail, tie-down brackets built into the frame, and grab handles at the sides for getting in and out of the bed, and the slotted panel lets you see through it in the mirror instead of blanking out the rear view. The finish is a durable powder coat, which is what keeps a steel structure that lives in the weather from looking tired after two winters.

The idea was simple and nobody else had done it: a gooseneck ball that turns over and stores flush with the bed floor, so the truck bed goes back to being a truck bed the moment you unhook. That one product built the company, and B\u0026amp;W still makes its hitches in Humboldt, in a plant that has grown to about 600,000ft². The company has been 100% employee-owned since 2007, with roughly 500 employee-owners who have a stake in what comes off the line.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe testing story is worth knowing, because it is not how the rest of the industry does it. SAE J-2638, the standard for gooseneck and fifth-wheel hitches, is a recommended practice, and it is common to satisfy it with a fresh sample for each test. B\u0026amp;W runs a single hitch through all three 300,000-cycle dynamic tests and the six static tests, one after another, on the same unit. The Tow \u0026amp; Stow line is tested to SAE J-684. Every B\u0026amp;W-brand product is covered by the company's Lifetime Exclusive Limited Warranty to the original consumer, against defects in material and workmanship, for as long as that person owns it.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003ePrestige Truck is an authorized B\u0026amp;W dealer.

Everything you haul that is longer or heavier than the bed wants to keep going forward when the truck stops, and the only things between it and you are the back of the cab and the rear glass. This is B\u0026amp;W's answer: a heavy-duty steel headache rack, built specifically for 2020-2025 Chevrolet and GMC 2500 and 3500 so it lines up with the bed and the cab rather than being clamped on and hoped for. It carries four LED lights across the top rail, tie-down brackets built into the frame, and grab handles at the sides for getting in and out of the bed, and the slotted panel lets you see through it in the mirror instead of blanking out the rear view. The finish is a durable powder coat, which is what keeps a steel structure that lives in the weather from looking tired after two winters. It weighs about 130 lb, so it is a freight item and a two-person installation.

If your truck is not on this list, B\u0026amp;W builds the cab protector in other part numbers; check the one cut for your truck rather than assuming a neighboring year fits.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eSpecifications\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cb\u003eB\u0026amp;W Part Number:\u003c\/b\u003e PUCP7543BA\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cb\u003eWhat It Is:\u003c\/b\u003e Truck-specific cab protector, also called a headache rack\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cb\u003eFits:\u003c\/b\u003e 2020-2025 Chevrolet and GMC 2500 and 3500\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cb\u003eFitment Exclusions:\u003c\/b\u003e Trucks with the CarbonPro composite bed are excluded\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cb\u003eLighting:\u003c\/b\u003e Four integrated LED lights\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cb\u003eTie-Downs:\u003c\/b\u003e Tie-down brackets built into the frame\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cb\u003eHandles:\u003c\/b\u003e Grab handles for bed access\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cb\u003ePanel:\u003c\/b\u003e Horizontal slotted panel, see-through\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cb\u003eFinish:\u003c\/b\u003e Black powder coat\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cb\u003eShipping Weight:\u003c\/b\u003e About 130 lb, freight item\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cb\u003eUPC:\u003c\/b\u003e 843233005561\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cb\u003eWarranty:\u003c\/b\u003e B\u0026amp;W Lifetime Exclusive Limited Warranty\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cb\u003eMade In:\u003c\/b\u003e Made in the USA, built by B\u0026amp;W in Humboldt, Kansas\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eInstallation\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eType:\u003c\/b\u003e Bolts to the bed rail structure at the front of the bed  ·  \u003cb\u003eTime:\u003c\/b\u003e Allow two to three hours  ·  \u003cb\u003eTools:\u003c\/b\u003e Socket set, torque wrench, drill only if the instructions call for it, and basic wiring tools for the LED lights  ·  \u003cb\u003eDifficulty:\u003c\/b\u003e Intermediate, and a two-person job because of the weight\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAt about 130 lb this is not a solo lift.

The idea was simple and nobody else had done it: a gooseneck ball that turns over and stores flush with the bed floor, so the truck bed goes back to being a truck bed the moment you unhook. That one product built the company, and B\u0026amp;W still makes its hitches in Humboldt, in a plant that has grown to about 600,000ft². The company has been 100% employee-owned since 2007, with roughly 500 employee-owners who have a stake in what comes off the line.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe testing story is worth knowing, because it is not how the rest of the industry does it. SAE J-2638, the standard for gooseneck and fifth-wheel hitches, is a recommended practice, and it is common to satisfy it with a fresh sample for each test. B\u0026amp;W runs a single hitch through all three 300,000-cycle dynamic tests and the six static tests, one after another, on the same unit. The Tow \u0026amp; Stow line is tested to SAE J-684. Every B\u0026amp;W-brand product is covered by the company's Lifetime Exclusive Limited Warranty to the original consumer, against defects in material and workmanship, for as long as that person owns it.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003ePrestige Truck is an authorized B\u0026amp;W dealer.

Those are the hitch's numbers. What you can actually tow is the lowest of the hitch rating, your truck's own fifth wheel rating on the door jamb, and, on a rail-mounted hitch, the rails underneath it. The coupler head on this hitch, RVC3006, is itself rated to 25,000 lb; on this model the 25,000 lb figure comes from the base, which is why B\u0026amp;W sells 20K and 25K versions of the same-looking hitch.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eMachined Wrap-Around Jaws\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe jaws are 1\" thick and they wrap the king pin for full contact all the way round rather than gripping it at two points.

Open the handle and the cam moves aside so the jaws can release as you pull away; close it and the cam blocks the jaw from opening at all.

Their answer was the Turnoverball, a ball that flips over and stows flush with the bed floor, and it is still the product the company is best known for. B\u0026amp;W has built hitches in Humboldt ever since and is one of the last hitch makers still manufacturing in the United States.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe company has been 100% employee-owned since 2007, with roughly 500 employee-owners who have a stake in what they build. That shows up in how B\u0026amp;W tests. SAE J-2638 is only a recommended practice for gooseneck and fifth wheel hitches, and where the standard would allow a separate sample for each test, B\u0026amp;W puts a single hitch through all three 300,000-cycle dynamic tests and the six static tests, one after another. The Tow \u0026amp; Stow receiver line is tested to SAE J-684.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003ePrestige Truck is an authorized B\u0026amp;W Trailer Hitches dealer.

What you can actually tow is the lowest of the hitch rating, your truck's own fifth wheel rating on the door jamb, and, on a rail-mounted hitch, the rails underneath it. The coupler head on this hitch, RVC3006, is itself rated to 25,000 lb; on this model the 20,000 lb figure comes from the base, which is why B\u0026amp;W sells 20K and 25K versions of the same-looking hitch.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eMachined Wrap-Around Jaws\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe jaws are 1\" thick and they wrap the king pin for full contact all the way round rather than gripping it at two points.

Their answer was the Turnoverball, a ball that flips over and stows flush with the bed floor, and it is still the product the company is best known for. B\u0026amp;W has built hitches in Humboldt ever since and is one of the last hitch makers still manufacturing in the United States.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe company has been 100% employee-owned since 2007, with roughly 500 employee-owners who have a stake in what they build. That shows up in how B\u0026amp;W tests. SAE J-2638 is only a recommended practice for gooseneck and fifth wheel hitches, and where the standard would allow a separate sample for each test, B\u0026amp;W puts a single hitch through all three 300,000-cycle dynamic tests and the six static tests, one after another. The Tow \u0026amp; Stow receiver line is tested to SAE J-684.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003ePrestige Truck is an authorized B\u0026amp;W Trailer Hitches dealer.

Those are the hitch's numbers. What you can actually tow is the lowest of the hitch rating, your truck's own fifth wheel rating on the door jamb, and, on a rail-mounted hitch, the rails underneath it. The coupler head on this hitch, RVC3006, is itself rated to 25,000 lb; on this model the 25,000 lb figure comes from the base, which is why B\u0026amp;W sells 20K and 25K versions of the same-looking hitch.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eMachined Wrap-Around Jaws\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe jaws are 1\" thick and they wrap the king pin for full contact all the way round rather than gripping it at two points.

Their answer was the Turnoverball, a ball that flips over and stows flush with the bed floor, and it is still the product the company is best known for. B\u0026amp;W has built hitches in Humboldt ever since and is one of the last hitch makers still manufacturing in the United States.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe company has been 100% employee-owned since 2007, with roughly 500 employee-owners who have a stake in what they build. That shows up in how B\u0026amp;W tests. SAE J-2638 is only a recommended practice for gooseneck and fifth wheel hitches, and where the standard would allow a separate sample for each test, B\u0026amp;W puts a single hitch through all three 300,000-cycle dynamic tests and the six static tests, one after another. The Tow \u0026amp; Stow receiver line is tested to SAE J-684.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003ePrestige Truck is an authorized B\u0026amp;W Trailer Hitches dealer.

Those are the hitch's numbers. What you can actually tow is the lowest of the hitch rating, your truck's own fifth wheel rating on the door jamb, and, on a rail-mounted hitch, the rails underneath it. The coupler head on this hitch, RVC3006, is itself rated to 25,000 lb; on this model the 20,000 lb figure comes from the base, which is why B\u0026amp;W sells 20K and 25K versions of the same-looking hitch.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eMachined Wrap-Around Jaws\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe jaws are 1\" thick and they wrap the king pin for full contact all the way round rather than gripping it at two points.

Their answer was the Turnoverball, a ball that flips over and stows flush with the bed floor, and it is still the product the company is best known for. B\u0026amp;W has built hitches in Humboldt ever since and is one of the last hitch makers still manufacturing in the United States.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe company has been 100% employee-owned since 2007, with roughly 500 employee-owners who have a stake in what they build. That shows up in how B\u0026amp;W tests. SAE J-2638 is only a recommended practice for gooseneck and fifth wheel hitches, and where the standard would allow a separate sample for each test, B\u0026amp;W puts a single hitch through all three 300,000-cycle dynamic tests and the six static tests, one after another. The Tow \u0026amp; Stow receiver line is tested to SAE J-684.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003ePrestige Truck is an authorized B\u0026amp;W Trailer Hitches dealer. Every hitch we ship is new, factory-packed, covered by the full B\u0026amp;W factory warranty, and supported by B\u0026amp;W's own service team in Humboldt, Kansas.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"B\u0026W Trailer Hitches","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":49106911101172,"sku":"RVK3370","price":1699.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0805\/4784\/0244\/files\/bw-rvk3370-companion-20k-slider-fifth-wheel-hitch-for-ford-pucks-hero.png?v=1786363636"},{"product_id":"bw-companion-single-point-slider-fifth-wheel-hitch-20000-lb-gtw-5000-lb-pin-weight-powder-coat-rvk3405","title":"B\u0026W Companion Single-Point Slider Fifth Wheel Hitch, 20,000 lb GTW, 5,000 lb Pin Weight, Powder Coat (RVK3405)","description":"\u003cp\u003eThis is the sliding Companion for a truck running B\u0026amp;W's under-bed Turnoverball system.

Those are the hitch's numbers. What you can actually tow is the lowest of the hitch rating, your truck's own fifth wheel rating on the door jamb, and, on a rail-mounted hitch, the rails underneath it. The coupler head on this hitch, RVC3006, is itself rated to 25,000 lb; on this model the 20,000 lb figure comes from the base, which is why B\u0026amp;W sells 20K and 25K versions of the same-looking hitch.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eMachined Wrap-Around Jaws\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe jaws are 1\" thick and they wrap the king pin for full contact all the way round rather than gripping it at two points.

Their answer was the Turnoverball, a ball that flips over and stows flush with the bed floor, and it is still the product the company is best known for. B\u0026amp;W has built hitches in Humboldt ever since and is one of the last hitch makers still manufacturing in the United States.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe company has been 100% employee-owned since 2007, with roughly 500 employee-owners who have a stake in what they build. That shows up in how B\u0026amp;W tests. SAE J-2638 is only a recommended practice for gooseneck and fifth wheel hitches, and where the standard would allow a separate sample for each test, B\u0026amp;W puts a single hitch through all three 300,000-cycle dynamic tests and the six static tests, one after another. The Tow \u0026amp; Stow receiver line is tested to SAE J-684.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003ePrestige Truck is an authorized B\u0026amp;W Trailer Hitches dealer.

Rated at 20,000 lb gross trailer weight with 5,000 lb of vertical pin weight. Lift it back out and the bed is flat, with no rails and nothing to trip over. Because it shares the under-bed Turnoverball system, one truck can pull a gooseneck one weekend and a fifth wheel the next without installing anything twice.

Those are the hitch's numbers. What you can actually tow is the lowest of the hitch rating, your truck's own fifth wheel rating on the door jamb, and, on a rail-mounted hitch, the rails underneath it. The coupler head on this hitch, RVC3006, is itself rated to 25,000 lb; on this model the 20,000 lb figure comes from the base, which is why B\u0026amp;W sells 20K and 25K versions of the same-looking hitch.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eMachined Wrap-Around Jaws\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe jaws are 1\" thick and they wrap the king pin for full contact all the way round rather than gripping it at two points.

Their answer was the Turnoverball, a ball that flips over and stows flush with the bed floor, and it is still the product the company is best known for. B\u0026amp;W has built hitches in Humboldt ever since and is one of the last hitch makers still manufacturing in the United States.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe company has been 100% employee-owned since 2007, with roughly 500 employee-owners who have a stake in what they build. That shows up in how B\u0026amp;W tests. SAE J-2638 is only a recommended practice for gooseneck and fifth wheel hitches, and where the standard would allow a separate sample for each test, B\u0026amp;W puts a single hitch through all three 300,000-cycle dynamic tests and the six static tests, one after another. The Tow \u0026amp; Stow receiver line is tested to SAE J-684.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003ePrestige Truck is an authorized B\u0026amp;W Trailer Hitches dealer.

Those are the hitch's numbers. What you can actually tow is the lowest of the hitch rating, your truck's own fifth wheel rating on the door jamb, and, on a rail-mounted hitch, the rails underneath it. The coupler head on this hitch, RVC3006, is itself rated to 25,000 lb; on this model the 25,000 lb figure comes from the base, which is why B\u0026amp;W sells 20K and 25K versions of the same-looking hitch.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eMachined Wrap-Around Jaws\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe jaws are 1\" thick and they wrap the king pin for full contact all the way round rather than gripping it at two points.

Their answer was the Turnoverball, a ball that flips over and stows flush with the bed floor, and it is still the product the company is best known for. B\u0026amp;W has built hitches in Humboldt ever since and is one of the last hitch makers still manufacturing in the United States.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe company has been 100% employee-owned since 2007, with roughly 500 employee-owners who have a stake in what they build. That shows up in how B\u0026amp;W tests. SAE J-2638 is only a recommended practice for gooseneck and fifth wheel hitches, and where the standard would allow a separate sample for each test, B\u0026amp;W puts a single hitch through all three 300,000-cycle dynamic tests and the six static tests, one after another. The Tow \u0026amp; Stow receiver line is tested to SAE J-684.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003ePrestige Truck is an authorized B\u0026amp;W Trailer Hitches dealer.

Those are the hitch's numbers. What you can actually tow is the lowest of the hitch rating, your truck's own fifth wheel rating on the door jamb, and, on a rail-mounted hitch, the rails underneath it. The coupler head on this hitch, RVC3006, is itself rated to 25,000 lb; on this model the 20,000 lb figure comes from the base, which is why B\u0026amp;W sells 20K and 25K versions of the same-looking hitch.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eMachined Wrap-Around Jaws\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe jaws are 1\" thick and they wrap the king pin for full contact all the way round rather than gripping it at two points.

Their answer was the Turnoverball, a ball that flips over and stows flush with the bed floor, and it is still the product the company is best known for. B\u0026amp;W has built hitches in Humboldt ever since and is one of the last hitch makers still manufacturing in the United States.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe company has been 100% employee-owned since 2007, with roughly 500 employee-owners who have a stake in what they build. That shows up in how B\u0026amp;W tests. SAE J-2638 is only a recommended practice for gooseneck and fifth wheel hitches, and where the standard would allow a separate sample for each test, B\u0026amp;W puts a single hitch through all three 300,000-cycle dynamic tests and the six static tests, one after another. The Tow \u0026amp; Stow receiver line is tested to SAE J-684.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003ePrestige Truck is an authorized B\u0026amp;W Trailer Hitches dealer.

Those are the hitch's numbers. What you can actually tow is the lowest of the hitch rating, your truck's own fifth wheel rating on the door jamb, and, on a rail-mounted hitch, the rails underneath it. The coupler head on this hitch, RVC3006, is itself rated to 25,000 lb; on this model the 20,000 lb figure comes from the base, which is why B\u0026amp;W sells 20K and 25K versions of the same-looking hitch.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eMachined Wrap-Around Jaws\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe jaws are 1\" thick and they wrap the king pin for full contact all the way round rather than gripping it at two points.

Their answer was the Turnoverball, a ball that flips over and stows flush with the bed floor, and it is still the product the company is best known for. B\u0026amp;W has built hitches in Humboldt ever since and is one of the last hitch makers still manufacturing in the United States.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe company has been 100% employee-owned since 2007, with roughly 500 employee-owners who have a stake in what they build. That shows up in how B\u0026amp;W tests. SAE J-2638 is only a recommended practice for gooseneck and fifth wheel hitches, and where the standard would allow a separate sample for each test, B\u0026amp;W puts a single hitch through all three 300,000-cycle dynamic tests and the six static tests, one after another. The Tow \u0026amp; Stow receiver line is tested to SAE J-684.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003ePrestige Truck is an authorized B\u0026amp;W Trailer Hitches dealer.

The coupler head on this hitch, RVC3006, is itself rated to 25,000 lb; on this model the 25,000 lb figure comes from the base, which is why B\u0026amp;W sells 20K and 25K versions of the same-looking hitch.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eMachined Wrap-Around Jaws\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe jaws are 1\" thick and they wrap the king pin for full contact all the way round rather than gripping it at two points.

Their answer was the Turnoverball, a ball that flips over and stows flush with the bed floor, and it is still the product the company is best known for. B\u0026amp;W has built hitches in Humboldt ever since and is one of the last hitch makers still manufacturing in the United States.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe company has been 100% employee-owned since 2007, with roughly 500 employee-owners who have a stake in what they build. That shows up in how B\u0026amp;W tests. SAE J-2638 is only a recommended practice for gooseneck and fifth wheel hitches, and where the standard would allow a separate sample for each test, B\u0026amp;W puts a single hitch through all three 300,000-cycle dynamic tests and the six static tests, one after another. The Tow \u0026amp; Stow receiver line is tested to SAE J-684.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003ePrestige Truck is an authorized B\u0026amp;W Trailer Hitches dealer.

Those are the hitch's numbers. What you can actually tow is the lowest of the hitch rating, your truck's own fifth wheel rating on the door jamb, and, on a rail-mounted hitch, the rails underneath it. The coupler head on this hitch, RVC3006, is itself rated to 25,000 lb; on this model the 20,000 lb figure comes from the base, which is why B\u0026amp;W sells 20K and 25K versions of the same-looking hitch.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eMachined Wrap-Around Jaws\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe jaws are 1\" thick and they wrap the king pin for full contact all the way round rather than gripping it at two points.

Their answer was the Turnoverball, a ball that flips over and stows flush with the bed floor, and it is still the product the company is best known for. B\u0026amp;W has built hitches in Humboldt ever since and is one of the last hitch makers still manufacturing in the United States.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe company has been 100% employee-owned since 2007, with roughly 500 employee-owners who have a stake in what they build. That shows up in how B\u0026amp;W tests. SAE J-2638 is only a recommended practice for gooseneck and fifth wheel hitches, and where the standard would allow a separate sample for each test, B\u0026amp;W puts a single hitch through all three 300,000-cycle dynamic tests and the six static tests, one after another. The Tow \u0026amp; Stow receiver line is tested to SAE J-684.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003ePrestige Truck is an authorized B\u0026amp;W Trailer Hitches dealer.

The coupler head on this hitch, RVC3006, is itself rated to 25,000 lb; on this model the 25,000 lb figure comes from the base, which is why B\u0026amp;W sells 20K and 25K versions of the same-looking hitch.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eMachined Wrap-Around Jaws\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe jaws are 1\" thick and they wrap the king pin for full contact all the way round rather than gripping it at two points.

Their answer was the Turnoverball, a ball that flips over and stows flush with the bed floor, and it is still the product the company is best known for. B\u0026amp;W has built hitches in Humboldt ever since and is one of the last hitch makers still manufacturing in the United States.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe company has been 100% employee-owned since 2007, with roughly 500 employee-owners who have a stake in what they build. That shows up in how B\u0026amp;W tests. SAE J-2638 is only a recommended practice for gooseneck and fifth wheel hitches, and where the standard would allow a separate sample for each test, B\u0026amp;W puts a single hitch through all three 300,000-cycle dynamic tests and the six static tests, one after another. The Tow \u0026amp; Stow receiver line is tested to SAE J-684.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003ePrestige Truck is an authorized B\u0026amp;W Trailer Hitches dealer.

Those are the hitch's numbers. What you can actually tow is the lowest of the hitch rating, your truck's own fifth wheel rating on the door jamb, and, on a rail-mounted hitch, the rails underneath it. The coupler head on this hitch, RVC3006, is itself rated to 25,000 lb; on this model the 20,000 lb figure comes from the base, which is why B\u0026amp;W sells 20K and 25K versions of the same-looking hitch.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eMachined Wrap-Around Jaws\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe jaws are 1\" thick and they wrap the king pin for full contact all the way round rather than gripping it at two points.

Their answer was the Turnoverball, a ball that flips over and stows flush with the bed floor, and it is still the product the company is best known for. B\u0026amp;W has built hitches in Humboldt ever since and is one of the last hitch makers still manufacturing in the United States.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe company has been 100% employee-owned since 2007, with roughly 500 employee-owners who have a stake in what they build. That shows up in how B\u0026amp;W tests. SAE J-2638 is only a recommended practice for gooseneck and fifth wheel hitches, and where the standard would allow a separate sample for each test, B\u0026amp;W puts a single hitch through all three 300,000-cycle dynamic tests and the six static tests, one after another. The Tow \u0026amp; Stow receiver line is tested to SAE J-684.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003ePrestige Truck is an authorized B\u0026amp;W Trailer Hitches dealer.

Those are the hitch's numbers. What you can actually tow is the lowest of the hitch rating, your truck's own fifth wheel rating on the door jamb, and, on a rail-mounted hitch, the rails underneath it. The coupler head on this hitch, RVC3006, is itself rated to 25,000 lb; on this model the 20,000 lb figure comes from the base, which is why B\u0026amp;W sells 20K and 25K versions of the same-looking hitch.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eMachined Wrap-Around Jaws\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe jaws are 1\" thick and they wrap the king pin for full contact all the way round rather than gripping it at two points.

Open the handle and the cam moves aside so the jaws can release as you pull away; close it and the cam blocks the jaw from opening at all. The practical benefit shows up on a sloped campsite, where a conventional handle can jam solid under load.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eShock Absorber and Polyurethane Bushings\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe whole coupler rides on polyurethane bushings, with a shock absorber taking the side-to-side movement instead of letting it slam.

What you can actually tow is the lowest of the hitch rating, your truck's own fifth wheel rating on the door jamb, and, on a rail-mounted hitch, the rails underneath it.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eSpecifications\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cb\u003eB\u0026amp;W Part Number:\u003c\/b\u003e RVK3775\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cb\u003eSeries:\u003c\/b\u003e Companion\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cb\u003eGross Trailer Weight:\u003c\/b\u003e 20,000 lb\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cb\u003eVertical Pin Weight:\u003c\/b\u003e 5,000 lb\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cb\u003eMounting System:\u003c\/b\u003e GM factory fifth wheel prep package, 2020-2026 bed pucks\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cb\u003eBase Type:\u003c\/b\u003e Sliding, 12\" of travel\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cb\u003eCoupler Head:\u003c\/b\u003e RVC3006, 1\" thick machined wrap-around jaws, fully articulating front to back and side to side\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cb\u003eBase Part Number:\u003c\/b\u003e RVB3775\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cb\u003eHandle:\u003c\/b\u003e Cam-action latching handle\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cb\u003eVibration Control:\u003c\/b\u003e Shock absorber plus polyurethane bushings\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cb\u003eFinish:\u003c\/b\u003e Powder coat\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cb\u003eRails Required:\u003c\/b\u003e No\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cb\u003eShipping Weight:\u003c\/b\u003e About 257 lb\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cb\u003eUPC:\u003c\/b\u003e 843233005233\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cb\u003eWarranty:\u003c\/b\u003e B\u0026amp;W Lifetime Exclusive Limited Warranty\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cb\u003eMade In:\u003c\/b\u003e Humboldt, Kansas, USA\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eInstallation\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eType:\u003c\/b\u003e Drops into the four factory bed pucks, turn the handles and pin  ·  \u003cb\u003eTime:\u003c\/b\u003e About 15 to 30 minutes once the mounting system is in the truck  ·  \u003cb\u003eTools:\u003c\/b\u003e None for the hitch itself beyond the drawdown bolt wrench, plus a second person or a hoist for the lift  ·  \u003cb\u003eDifficulty:\u003c\/b\u003e Straightforward, but heavy\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWork from B\u0026amp;W's RVK3775 installation sheet in the Resources tab.

Their answer was the Turnoverball, a ball that flips over and stows flush with the bed floor, and it is still the product the company is best known for. B\u0026amp;W has built hitches in Humboldt ever since and is one of the last hitch makers still manufacturing in the United States.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe company has been 100% employee-owned since 2007, with roughly 500 employee-owners who have a stake in what they build. That shows up in how B\u0026amp;W tests. SAE J-2638 is only a recommended practice for gooseneck and fifth wheel hitches, and where the standard would allow a separate sample for each test, B\u0026amp;W puts a single hitch through all three 300,000-cycle dynamic tests and the six static tests, one after another. The Tow \u0026amp; Stow receiver line is tested to SAE J-684.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003ePrestige Truck is an authorized B\u0026amp;W Trailer Hitches dealer. Every hitch we ship is new, factory-packed, covered by the full B\u0026amp;W factory warranty, and supported by B\u0026amp;W's own service team in Humboldt, Kansas.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"B\u0026W Trailer Hitches","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":49106911527156,"sku":"RVK3775","price":1699.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0805\/4784\/0244\/files\/bw-rvk3775-companion-20k-slider-fifth-wheel-hitch-for-2020-2026-gm-pucks-hero.png?v=1786363669"},{"product_id":"bw-continuum-weight-distribution-hitch-load-bar-unit-only-standard-coupler-wdhl4510","title":"B\u0026W Continuum Weight Distribution Hitch Load Bar Unit Only, Standard Coupler, 600-1,600 lb Tongue Weight (WDHL4510)","description":"\u003cp\u003eThis is the Continuum load bar unit ONLY. It is not a complete hitch and it will not go into your truck's receiver on its own. The complete kit is WDHK4500 with a 2\" shank or WDHK4502 with a 2.5\" shank, and a working Continuum also needs a head unit, which is the shank-and-ball half that mounts to the truck. What you are buying here is the expensive and clever half of the system: the tapered LITEFLEX composite spring bars that Hendrickson makes for B\u0026amp;W, the hydraulic hand pump with its pressure gauge, the cylinder and hoses, and the brackets that clamp to your trailer frame. This version is built for a standard coupler, the common style where the coupler body sits on top of the trailer's A-frame. Because the bars are composite rather than steel, this one unit covers the whole 600 lb to 1,600 lb tongue weight range, so changing what is in the trailer means a few more strokes of the handle rather than a different set of bars.

They are corrosion resistant, so they are not a maintenance item.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eThe Hydraulic Pump, Gauge and Cylinder\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThis is where the Continuum's setup lives. You pump the handle to move weight onto the truck's front axle and read the result off the gauge, then twist the needle valve to unload before you unhitch. The pump cartridge, needle valve, relief valve and gauge are all purpose-designed, it is a closed loop, and B\u0026amp;W tested it from -40°F to 150°F. Maximum pressure is around 3,000 lb with the relief valve set at 2,500 lb, so you cannot over-pump it.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eBuilt for Standard Couplers\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThis is the difference between the two load bar units, and it is the reason to get the choice right.

The complete hitch is rated to 16,000 lb gross trailer weight with tongue weight between 600 lb and 1,600 lb.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eSpecifications\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cb\u003eB\u0026amp;W Part Number:\u003c\/b\u003e WDHL4510\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cb\u003eWhat This Is:\u003c\/b\u003e Continuum load bar unit only, a component of a complete Continuum kit\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cb\u003eComplete Kit Part Numbers:\u003c\/b\u003e WDHK4500 with a 2\" shank or WDHK4502 with a 2.5\" shank\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cb\u003eHead Unit Required:\u003c\/b\u003e WDHH4500 or WDHH4502, depending on your receiver size\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cb\u003eTrailer Coupler Type:\u003c\/b\u003e Standard\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cb\u003eSeries:\u003c\/b\u003e Continuum\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cb\u003eMax Gross Trailer Weight:\u003c\/b\u003e 16,000 lb\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cb\u003eTongue Weight Range:\u003c\/b\u003e 600-1,600 lb, covered by one set of spring bars\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cb\u003eSpring Bars:\u003c\/b\u003e Tapered LITEFLEX composite, made for B\u0026amp;W by Hendrickson\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cb\u003eWeight Transfer:\u003c\/b\u003e Hydraulic hand pump with pressure gauge, operated from the driver's side\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cb\u003eSway Control:\u003c\/b\u003e Friction sway prevention, immediate and continuous because the bars stay loaded\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cb\u003eTrailer Frame Compatibility:\u003c\/b\u003e 5\" and 6\" frames without a center rail; 4\" and 7\" frames with longer or shorter cylinder mount hardware\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cb\u003eClearance Needed for Frame Brackets:\u003c\/b\u003e 2\" of clear frame ahead of the bracket location\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cb\u003eHydraulic System:\u003c\/b\u003e Closed loop, pressure relief set at 2,500 lb, tested from -40°F to 150°F\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cb\u003eFinish:\u003c\/b\u003e Black powder coat\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cb\u003eWarranty:\u003c\/b\u003e B\u0026amp;W Lifetime Exclusive Limited Warranty\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cb\u003eMade In:\u003c\/b\u003e Made in the USA, built by B\u0026amp;W in Humboldt, Kansas\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cb\u003eShipping Weight:\u003c\/b\u003e About 64 lb, this component only\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cb\u003eUPC:\u003c\/b\u003e 843233011500\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eInstallation\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eType:\u003c\/b\u003e Brackets bolt to the trailer A-frame; the assembly then pins to a Continuum head unit  ·  \u003cb\u003eTime:\u003c\/b\u003e About 30 minutes for the first setup  ·  \u003cb\u003eTools:\u003c\/b\u003e 9\/16\" wrench, tape measure  ·  \u003cb\u003eDifficulty:\u003c\/b\u003e Straightforward, DIY-friendly\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eLevel the trailer, set the head unit's ball height to match, then mount the pump and cylinder to the trailer frame and pin the cylinder to the spring bar assembly.

The idea was simple and nobody else had done it: a gooseneck ball that turns over and stores flush with the bed floor, so the truck bed goes back to being a truck bed the moment you unhook. That one product built the company, and B\u0026amp;W still makes its hitches in Humboldt, in a plant that has grown to about 600,000ft². The company has been 100% employee-owned since 2007, with roughly 500 employee-owners who have a stake in what comes off the line.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe testing story is worth knowing, because it is not how the rest of the industry does it. SAE J-2638, the standard for gooseneck and fifth-wheel hitches, is a recommended practice, and it is common to satisfy it with a fresh sample for each test. B\u0026amp;W runs a single hitch through all three 300,000-cycle dynamic tests and the six static tests, one after another, on the same unit. The Tow \u0026amp; Stow line is tested to SAE J-684. Every B\u0026amp;W-brand product is covered by the company's Lifetime Exclusive Limited Warranty to the original consumer, against defects in material and workmanship, for as long as that person owns it.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003ePrestige Truck is an authorized B\u0026amp;W dealer.

It is not a complete hitch and it will not go into your truck's receiver on its own. The complete kit is WDHK4501 with a 2\" shank or WDHK4503 with a 2.5\" shank, and a working Continuum also needs a head unit, which is the shank-and-ball half that mounts to the truck. What you are buying here is the expensive and clever half of the system: the tapered LITEFLEX composite spring bars that Hendrickson makes for B\u0026amp;W, the hydraulic hand pump with its pressure gauge, the cylinder and hoses, and the brackets that clamp to your trailer frame. This version is built for an underslung coupler, the style that hangs below the trailer's A-frame, and it includes the bracket that layout needs. Because the bars are composite rather than steel, this one unit covers the whole 600 lb to 1,600 lb tongue weight range, so changing what is in the trailer means a few more strokes of the handle rather than a different set of bars. Buy it on its own if you are moving a Continuum between two trucks that need different head units, or replacing a damaged unit; otherwise buy the complete kit.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhat's Included:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eContinuum load bar unit, underslung coupler configuration\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eTapered LITEFLEX composite spring bars, rated 600-1,600 lb tongue weight\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHydraulic hand pump with pressure gauge, needle valve and pressure relief valve\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHydraulic cylinder and DOT-approved hoses and fittings\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eTrailer frame brackets and mounting hardware\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"embed-container\" style=\"position:relative;padding-bottom:56.25%;height:0;overflow:hidden;max-width:100%;\"\u003e\u003ciframe src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/YDCp4nsG9Ps\" style=\"position:absolute;top:0;left:0;width:100%;height:100%;\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen\u003e\u003c\/iframe\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eFeatures\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eThis Is the Load Bar Unit, Not a Hitch\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eSold on its own as a service and configuration part.

They are roughly five times more flexible than steel at similar strength and considerably lighter, which is why one set spans the whole tongue weight range instead of being sized to a band. They are corrosion resistant, so they are not a maintenance item.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eThe Hydraulic Pump, Gauge and Cylinder\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThis is where the Continuum's setup lives. You pump the handle to move weight onto the truck's front axle and read the result off the gauge, then twist the needle valve to unload before you unhitch. The pump cartridge, needle valve, relief valve and gauge are all purpose-designed, it is a closed loop, and B\u0026amp;W tested it from -40°F to 150°F. Maximum pressure is around 3,000 lb with the relief valve set at 2,500 lb, so you cannot over-pump it.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eBuilt for Underslung Couplers\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThis is the difference between the two load bar units, and it is the reason to get the choice right. This one is for an underslung coupler, the style that hangs below the trailer's A-frame, and it includes the bracket that layout needs.

The complete hitch is rated to 16,000 lb gross trailer weight with tongue weight between 600 lb and 1,600 lb.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eSpecifications\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cb\u003eB\u0026amp;W Part Number:\u003c\/b\u003e WDHL4511\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cb\u003eWhat This Is:\u003c\/b\u003e Continuum load bar unit only, a component of a complete Continuum kit\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cb\u003eComplete Kit Part Numbers:\u003c\/b\u003e WDHK4501 with a 2\" shank or WDHK4503 with a 2.5\" shank\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cb\u003eHead Unit Required:\u003c\/b\u003e WDHH4500 or WDHH4502, depending on your receiver size\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cb\u003eTrailer Coupler Type:\u003c\/b\u003e Underslung\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cb\u003eSeries:\u003c\/b\u003e Continuum\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cb\u003eMax Gross Trailer Weight:\u003c\/b\u003e 16,000 lb\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cb\u003eTongue Weight Range:\u003c\/b\u003e 600-1,600 lb, covered by one set of spring bars\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cb\u003eSpring Bars:\u003c\/b\u003e Tapered LITEFLEX composite, made for B\u0026amp;W by Hendrickson\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cb\u003eWeight Transfer:\u003c\/b\u003e Hydraulic hand pump with pressure gauge, operated from the driver's side\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cb\u003eSway Control:\u003c\/b\u003e Friction sway prevention, immediate and continuous because the bars stay loaded\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cb\u003eTrailer Frame Compatibility:\u003c\/b\u003e 5\" and 6\" frames without a center rail; 4\" and 7\" frames with longer or shorter cylinder mount hardware\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cb\u003eClearance Needed for Frame Brackets:\u003c\/b\u003e 2\" of clear frame ahead of the bracket location\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cb\u003eHydraulic System:\u003c\/b\u003e Closed loop, pressure relief set at 2,500 lb, tested from -40°F to 150°F\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cb\u003eFinish:\u003c\/b\u003e Black powder coat\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cb\u003eWarranty:\u003c\/b\u003e B\u0026amp;W Lifetime Exclusive Limited Warranty\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cb\u003eMade In:\u003c\/b\u003e Made in the USA, built by B\u0026amp;W in Humboldt, Kansas\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cb\u003eShipping Weight:\u003c\/b\u003e About 67 lb, this component only\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cb\u003eUPC:\u003c\/b\u003e 843233011517\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eInstallation\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eType:\u003c\/b\u003e Brackets bolt to the trailer A-frame; the assembly then pins to a Continuum head unit  ·  \u003cb\u003eTime:\u003c\/b\u003e About 30 minutes for the first setup  ·  \u003cb\u003eTools:\u003c\/b\u003e 9\/16\" wrench, tape measure  ·  \u003cb\u003eDifficulty:\u003c\/b\u003e Straightforward, DIY-friendly\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eLevel the trailer, set the head unit's ball height to match, then mount the pump and cylinder to the trailer frame and pin the cylinder to the spring bar assembly.

The idea was simple and nobody else had done it: a gooseneck ball that turns over and stores flush with the bed floor, so the truck bed goes back to being a truck bed the moment you unhook. That one product built the company, and B\u0026amp;W still makes its hitches in Humboldt, in a plant that has grown to about 600,000ft². The company has been 100% employee-owned since 2007, with roughly 500 employee-owners who have a stake in what comes off the line.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe testing story is worth knowing, because it is not how the rest of the industry does it. SAE J-2638, the standard for gooseneck and fifth-wheel hitches, is a recommended practice, and it is common to satisfy it with a fresh sample for each test. B\u0026amp;W runs a single hitch through all three 300,000-cycle dynamic tests and the six static tests, one after another, on the same unit. The Tow \u0026amp; Stow line is tested to SAE J-684. Every B\u0026amp;W-brand product is covered by the company's Lifetime Exclusive Limited Warranty to the original consumer, against defects in material and workmanship, for as long as that person owns it.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003ePrestige Truck is an authorized B\u0026amp;W dealer.

The spring bars stay attached; to load them you pump the hydraulic handle on the driver's side and watch the gauge until you have moved as much weight onto the truck's front axle as you want. To unhook you twist the needle valve and the pressure bleeds off. Because the bars are tapered composite rather than steel, one set covers the whole 600-1,600 lb tongue weight range, so bringing the ATV home in the trailer does not mean swapping bars, and a small correction is a few more strokes of the handle at the next rest stop rather than a job with a tool. The Continuum is built around a single pivot point, which is where the rattle and the wear go in a conventional weight distribution hitch, and because the bars are always under load its friction sway prevention is working from the first foot of the trip rather than waiting for the trailer to move out of line first. This part number is the 2\" shank version with a standard coupler. Most half-ton and three-quarter-ton trucks leave the factory with a 2\" receiver.

The Continuum uses a hydraulic hand pump: you pump until the gauge shows the pressure you want and stop.

They are about five times more flexible than steel at similar strength, and much lighter, so a single set covers the full 600-1,600 lb tongue weight range. If you tow more than one trailer, or the same trailer loaded differently, you are not buying or storing a second set of bars.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSway Prevention That Is Already Working\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eB\u0026amp;W tested the leading friction sway control systems on air casters in a warehouse and found that most of them take very little force to overcome, and that several do not begin to resist until the trailer is already 2 to 4 degrees out of line, which on a 25' trailer is several feet of lane. The Continuum's bars are always loaded, so its friction resistance is present continuously rather than arriving after the sway starts. That is where the name comes from.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eA Repeatable Setup You Can Read Off a Gauge\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe head angle is preset at the factory and there is nothing to shim, so the only variable is pressure, and pressure is on a dial.

Most half-ton and three-quarter-ton trucks leave the factory with a 2\" receiver. The 2-5\/16\" ball comes standard on every Continuum, and the head unit can be inverted in the receiver if your trailer sits higher than the ball. B\u0026amp;W does not publish a height figure for the inverted position, so measure your own setup rather than working from a number.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eBuilt to Come Apart When You Do Not Need It\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe spring bar assembly lifts off, so if you hook up a small trailer that does not need weight distribution you can tow on the ball mount alone rather than swapping hitches.

Three things decide whether this part number is the right one, and none of them is the year and model of your truck. First, the receiver: this kit has a 2\" shank, so your truck needs a 2\" receiver. Second, the coupler on your trailer: this kit is built for a standard coupler, the common style where the coupler sits on top of the trailer's A-frame.

The idea was simple and nobody else had done it: a gooseneck ball that turns over and stores flush with the bed floor, so the truck bed goes back to being a truck bed the moment you unhook. That one product built the company, and B\u0026amp;W still makes its hitches in Humboldt, in a plant that has grown to about 600,000ft². The company has been 100% employee-owned since 2007, with roughly 500 employee-owners who have a stake in what comes off the line.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe testing story is worth knowing, because it is not how the rest of the industry does it. SAE J-2638, the standard for gooseneck and fifth-wheel hitches, is a recommended practice, and it is common to satisfy it with a fresh sample for each test. B\u0026amp;W runs a single hitch through all three 300,000-cycle dynamic tests and the six static tests, one after another, on the same unit. The Tow \u0026amp; Stow line is tested to SAE J-684. Every B\u0026amp;W-brand product is covered by the company's Lifetime Exclusive Limited Warranty to the original consumer, against defects in material and workmanship, for as long as that person owns it.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003ePrestige Truck is an authorized B\u0026amp;W dealer.

The spring bars stay attached; to load them you pump the hydraulic handle on the driver's side and watch the gauge until you have moved as much weight onto the truck's front axle as you want. To unhook you twist the needle valve and the pressure bleeds off. Because the bars are tapered composite rather than steel, one set covers the whole 600-1,600 lb tongue weight range, so bringing the ATV home in the trailer does not mean swapping bars, and a small correction is a few more strokes of the handle at the next rest stop rather than a job with a tool. The Continuum is built around a single pivot point, which is where the rattle and the wear go in a conventional weight distribution hitch, and because the bars are always under load its friction sway prevention is working from the first foot of the trip rather than waiting for the trailer to move out of line first. This part number is the 2\" shank version with a underslung coupler. Most half-ton and three-quarter-ton trucks leave the factory with a 2\" receiver.

The Continuum uses a hydraulic hand pump: you pump until the gauge shows the pressure you want and stop. That makes weight transfer a dial rather than a switch, so you can put back exactly as much front axle load as your truck maker asks for instead of whatever the next chain link gives you.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eOne Set of Bars for 600 lb to 1,600 lb of Tongue Weight\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eB\u0026amp;W partnered with Hendrickson, which builds suspensions for heavy trucks, for the tapered LITEFLEX composite spring bars. They are about five times more flexible than steel at similar strength, and much lighter, so a single set covers the full 600-1,600 lb tongue weight range. If you tow more than one trailer, or the same trailer loaded differently, you are not buying or storing a second set of bars.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSway Prevention That Is Already Working\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eB\u0026amp;W tested the leading friction sway control systems on air casters in a warehouse and found that most of them take very little force to overcome, and that several do not begin to resist until the trailer is already 2 to 4 degrees out of line, which on a 25' trailer is several feet of lane. The Continuum's bars are always loaded, so its friction resistance is present continuously rather than arriving after the sway starts. That is where the name comes from.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eA Repeatable Setup You Can Read Off a Gauge\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe head angle is preset at the factory and there is nothing to shim, so the only variable is pressure, and pressure is on a dial.

Most half-ton and three-quarter-ton trucks leave the factory with a 2\" receiver. The 2-5\/16\" ball comes standard on every Continuum, and the head unit can be inverted in the receiver if your trailer sits higher than the ball. B\u0026amp;W does not publish a height figure for the inverted position, so measure your own trailer rather than working from a number.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eBuilt to Come Apart When You Do Not Need It\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe spring bar assembly lifts off, so if you hook up a small trailer that does not need weight distribution you can tow on the ball mount alone rather than swapping hitches.

Three things decide whether this part number is the right one, and none of them is the year and model of your truck. First, the receiver: this kit has a 2\" shank, so your truck needs a 2\" receiver. Second, the coupler on your trailer: this kit is built for an underslung coupler, where the coupler hangs below the A-frame, and it includes the bracket that lets the Continuum work with that layout.

The idea was simple and nobody else had done it: a gooseneck ball that turns over and stores flush with the bed floor, so the truck bed goes back to being a truck bed the moment you unhook. That one product built the company, and B\u0026amp;W still makes its hitches in Humboldt, in a plant that has grown to about 600,000ft². The company has been 100% employee-owned since 2007, with roughly 500 employee-owners who have a stake in what comes off the line.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe testing story is worth knowing, because it is not how the rest of the industry does it. SAE J-2638, the standard for gooseneck and fifth-wheel hitches, is a recommended practice, and it is common to satisfy it with a fresh sample for each test. B\u0026amp;W runs a single hitch through all three 300,000-cycle dynamic tests and the six static tests, one after another, on the same unit. The Tow \u0026amp; Stow line is tested to SAE J-684. Every B\u0026amp;W-brand product is covered by the company's Lifetime Exclusive Limited Warranty to the original consumer, against defects in material and workmanship, for as long as that person owns it.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003ePrestige Truck is an authorized B\u0026amp;W dealer.

The spring bars stay attached; to load them you pump the hydraulic handle on the driver's side and watch the gauge until you have moved as much weight onto the truck's front axle as you want. To unhook you twist the needle valve and the pressure bleeds off. Because the bars are tapered composite rather than steel, one set covers the whole 600-1,600 lb tongue weight range, so bringing the ATV home in the trailer does not mean swapping bars, and a small correction is a few more strokes of the handle at the next rest stop rather than a job with a tool. The Continuum is built around a single pivot point, which is where the rattle and the wear go in a conventional weight distribution hitch, and because the bars are always under load its friction sway prevention is working from the first foot of the trip rather than waiting for the trailer to move out of line first. This part number is the 2.5\" shank version with a standard coupler. A 2.5\" receiver is standard equipment on many three-quarter-ton and one-ton trucks and on trucks ordered with a heavy-duty towing package.

The Continuum uses a hydraulic hand pump: you pump until the gauge shows the pressure you want and stop. That makes weight transfer a dial rather than a switch, so you can put back exactly as much front axle load as your truck maker asks for instead of whatever the next chain link gives you.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eOne Set of Bars for 600 lb to 1,600 lb of Tongue Weight\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eB\u0026amp;W partnered with Hendrickson, which builds suspensions for heavy trucks, for the tapered LITEFLEX composite spring bars. They are about five times more flexible than steel at similar strength, and much lighter, so a single set covers the full 600-1,600 lb tongue weight range. If you tow more than one trailer, or the same trailer loaded differently, you are not buying or storing a second set of bars.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSway Prevention That Is Already Working\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eB\u0026amp;W tested the leading friction sway control systems on air casters in a warehouse and found that most of them take very little force to overcome, and that several do not begin to resist until the trailer is already 2 to 4 degrees out of line, which on a 25' trailer is several feet of lane. The Continuum's bars are always loaded, so its friction resistance is present continuously rather than arriving after the sway starts. That is where the name comes from.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eA Repeatable Setup You Can Read Off a Gauge\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe head angle is preset at the factory and there is nothing to shim, so the only variable is pressure, and pressure is on a dial.

Three things decide whether this part number is the right one, and none of them is the year and model of your truck. First, the receiver: this kit has a 2.5\" shank, so your truck needs a 2.5\" receiver. Second, the coupler on your trailer: this kit is built for a standard coupler, the common style where the coupler sits on top of the trailer's A-frame.

The idea was simple and nobody else had done it: a gooseneck ball that turns over and stores flush with the bed floor, so the truck bed goes back to being a truck bed the moment you unhook. That one product built the company, and B\u0026amp;W still makes its hitches in Humboldt, in a plant that has grown to about 600,000ft². The company has been 100% employee-owned since 2007, with roughly 500 employee-owners who have a stake in what comes off the line.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe testing story is worth knowing, because it is not how the rest of the industry does it. SAE J-2638, the standard for gooseneck and fifth-wheel hitches, is a recommended practice, and it is common to satisfy it with a fresh sample for each test. B\u0026amp;W runs a single hitch through all three 300,000-cycle dynamic tests and the six static tests, one after another, on the same unit. The Tow \u0026amp; Stow line is tested to SAE J-684. Every B\u0026amp;W-brand product is covered by the company's Lifetime Exclusive Limited Warranty to the original consumer, against defects in material and workmanship, for as long as that person owns it.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003ePrestige Truck is an authorized B\u0026amp;W dealer.

The spring bars stay attached; to load them you pump the hydraulic handle on the driver's side and watch the gauge until you have moved as much weight onto the truck's front axle as you want. To unhook you twist the needle valve and the pressure bleeds off. Because the bars are tapered composite rather than steel, one set covers the whole 600-1,600 lb tongue weight range, so bringing the ATV home in the trailer does not mean swapping bars, and a small correction is a few more strokes of the handle at the next rest stop rather than a job with a tool. The Continuum is built around a single pivot point, which is where the rattle and the wear go in a conventional weight distribution hitch, and because the bars are always under load its friction sway prevention is working from the first foot of the trip rather than waiting for the trailer to move out of line first. This part number is the 2.5\" shank version with a underslung coupler. A 2.5\" receiver is standard equipment on many three-quarter-ton and one-ton trucks and on trucks ordered with a heavy-duty towing package.

The Continuum uses a hydraulic hand pump: you pump until the gauge shows the pressure you want and stop.

They are about five times more flexible than steel at similar strength, and much lighter, so a single set covers the full 600-1,600 lb tongue weight range. If you tow more than one trailer, or the same trailer loaded differently, you are not buying or storing a second set of bars.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSway Prevention That Is Already Working\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eB\u0026amp;W tested the leading friction sway control systems on air casters in a warehouse and found that most of them take very little force to overcome, and that several do not begin to resist until the trailer is already 2 to 4 degrees out of line, which on a 25' trailer is several feet of lane. The Continuum's bars are always loaded, so its friction resistance is present continuously rather than arriving after the sway starts. That is where the name comes from.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eA Repeatable Setup You Can Read Off a Gauge\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe head angle is preset at the factory and there is nothing to shim, so the only variable is pressure, and pressure is on a dial.

Three things decide whether this part number is the right one, and none of them is the year and model of your truck. First, the receiver: this kit has a 2.5\" shank, so your truck needs a 2.5\" receiver. Second, the coupler on your trailer: this kit is built for an underslung coupler, where the coupler hangs below the A-frame, and it includes the bracket that lets the Continuum work with that layout.

The idea was simple and nobody else had done it: a gooseneck ball that turns over and stores flush with the bed floor, so the truck bed goes back to being a truck bed the moment you unhook. That one product built the company, and B\u0026amp;W still makes its hitches in Humboldt, in a plant that has grown to about 600,000ft². The company has been 100% employee-owned since 2007, with roughly 500 employee-owners who have a stake in what comes off the line.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe testing story is worth knowing, because it is not how the rest of the industry does it. SAE J-2638, the standard for gooseneck and fifth-wheel hitches, is a recommended practice, and it is common to satisfy it with a fresh sample for each test. B\u0026amp;W runs a single hitch through all three 300,000-cycle dynamic tests and the six static tests, one after another, on the same unit. The Tow \u0026amp; Stow line is tested to SAE J-684. Every B\u0026amp;W-brand product is covered by the company's Lifetime Exclusive Limited Warranty to the original consumer, against defects in material and workmanship, for as long as that person owns it.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003ePrestige Truck is an authorized B\u0026amp;W dealer.

Their answer was the Turnoverball, a ball that flips over and stows flush with the bed floor, and it is still the product the company is best known for.

Their answer was the Turnoverball, a ball that flips over and stows flush with the bed floor, and it is still the product the company is best known for. B\u0026amp;W has built hitches in Humboldt ever since and is one of the last hitch makers still manufacturing in the United States.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe company has been 100% employee-owned since 2007, with roughly 500 employee-owners who have a stake in what they build. That shows up in how B\u0026amp;W tests. SAE J-2638 is only a recommended practice for gooseneck and fifth wheel hitches, and where the standard would allow a separate sample for each test, B\u0026amp;W puts a single hitch through all three 300,000-cycle dynamic tests and the six static tests, one after another. The Tow \u0026amp; Stow receiver line is tested to SAE J-684.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003ePrestige Truck is an authorized B\u0026amp;W Trailer Hitches dealer. Every hitch we ship is new, factory-packed, covered by the full B\u0026amp;W factory warranty, and supported by B\u0026amp;W's own service team in Humboldt, Kansas.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"B\u0026W Trailer Hitches","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":49106912870644,"sku":"RVB3300","price":700.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0805\/4784\/0244\/files\/bw-rvb3300-base-shown-in-the-complete-rvk3300-hitch.png?v=1786363711"},{"product_id":"bw-companion-fifth-wheel-base-base-only-for-rvk3305-25000-lb-gtw-powder-coat-rvb3305","title":"B\u0026W Companion Fifth Wheel Base, Base Only for RVK3305, 25,000 lb GTW, Powder Coat (RVB3305)","description":"\u003cp\u003eThis is the base ONLY.

Their answer was the Turnoverball, a ball that flips over and stows flush with the bed floor, and it is still the product the company is best known for. B\u0026amp;W has built hitches in Humboldt ever since and is one of the last hitch makers still manufacturing in the United States.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe company has been 100% employee-owned since 2007, with roughly 500 employee-owners who have a stake in what they build. That shows up in how B\u0026amp;W tests. SAE J-2638 is only a recommended practice for gooseneck and fifth wheel hitches, and where the standard would allow a separate sample for each test, B\u0026amp;W puts a single hitch through all three 300,000-cycle dynamic tests and the six static tests, one after another. The Tow \u0026amp; Stow receiver line is tested to SAE J-684.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003ePrestige Truck is an authorized B\u0026amp;W Trailer Hitches dealer.

Their answer was the Turnoverball, a ball that flips over and stows flush with the bed floor, and it is still the product the company is best known for. B\u0026amp;W has built hitches in Humboldt ever since and is one of the last hitch makers still manufacturing in the United States.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe company has been 100% employee-owned since 2007, with roughly 500 employee-owners who have a stake in what they build. That shows up in how B\u0026amp;W tests. SAE J-2638 is only a recommended practice for gooseneck and fifth wheel hitches, and where the standard would allow a separate sample for each test, B\u0026amp;W puts a single hitch through all three 300,000-cycle dynamic tests and the six static tests, one after another. The Tow \u0026amp; Stow receiver line is tested to SAE J-684.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003ePrestige Truck is an authorized B\u0026amp;W Trailer Hitches dealer.

Their answer was the Turnoverball, a ball that flips over and stows flush with the bed floor, and it is still the product the company is best known for. B\u0026amp;W has built hitches in Humboldt ever since and is one of the last hitch makers still manufacturing in the United States.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe company has been 100% employee-owned since 2007, with roughly 500 employee-owners who have a stake in what they build. That shows up in how B\u0026amp;W tests. SAE J-2638 is only a recommended practice for gooseneck and fifth wheel hitches, and where the standard would allow a separate sample for each test, B\u0026amp;W puts a single hitch through all three 300,000-cycle dynamic tests and the six static tests, one after another. The Tow \u0026amp; Stow receiver line is tested to SAE J-684.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003ePrestige Truck is an authorized B\u0026amp;W Trailer Hitches dealer. Every hitch we ship is new, factory-packed, covered by the full B\u0026amp;W factory warranty, and supported by B\u0026amp;W's own service team in Humboldt, Kansas.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"B\u0026W Trailer Hitches","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":49106913198324,"sku":"RVB3600","price":900.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0805\/4784\/0244\/files\/bw-rvb3600-base-shown-in-the-complete-rvk3600-hitch.png?v=1786363725"},{"product_id":"bw-companion-fifth-wheel-slider-base-base-only-for-rvk3670-20000-lb-gtw-powder-coat-rvb3670","title":"B\u0026W Companion Fifth Wheel Slider Base, Base Only for RVK3670, 20,000 lb GTW, Powder Coat (RVB3670)","description":"\u003cp\u003eThis is the sliding base ONLY.

Their answer was the Turnoverball, a ball that flips over and stows flush with the bed floor, and it is still the product the company is best known for. B\u0026amp;W has built hitches in Humboldt ever since and is one of the last hitch makers still manufacturing in the United States.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe company has been 100% employee-owned since 2007, with roughly 500 employee-owners who have a stake in what they build. That shows up in how B\u0026amp;W tests. SAE J-2638 is only a recommended practice for gooseneck and fifth wheel hitches, and where the standard would allow a separate sample for each test, B\u0026amp;W puts a single hitch through all three 300,000-cycle dynamic tests and the six static tests, one after another. The Tow \u0026amp; Stow receiver line is tested to SAE J-684.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003ePrestige Truck is an authorized B\u0026amp;W Trailer Hitches dealer.

Their answer was the Turnoverball, a ball that flips over and stows flush with the bed floor, and it is still the product the company is best known for. B\u0026amp;W has built hitches in Humboldt ever since and is one of the last hitch makers still manufacturing in the United States.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe company has been 100% employee-owned since 2007, with roughly 500 employee-owners who have a stake in what they build. That shows up in how B\u0026amp;W tests. SAE J-2638 is only a recommended practice for gooseneck and fifth wheel hitches, and where the standard would allow a separate sample for each test, B\u0026amp;W puts a single hitch through all three 300,000-cycle dynamic tests and the six static tests, one after another. The Tow \u0026amp; Stow receiver line is tested to SAE J-684.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003ePrestige Truck is an authorized B\u0026amp;W Trailer Hitches dealer.

Their answer was the Turnoverball, a ball that flips over and stows flush with the bed floor, and it is still the product the company is best known for. B\u0026amp;W has built hitches in Humboldt ever since and is one of the last hitch makers still manufacturing in the United States.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe company has been 100% employee-owned since 2007, with roughly 500 employee-owners who have a stake in what they build. That shows up in how B\u0026amp;W tests. SAE J-2638 is only a recommended practice for gooseneck and fifth wheel hitches, and where the standard would allow a separate sample for each test, B\u0026amp;W puts a single hitch through all three 300,000-cycle dynamic tests and the six static tests, one after another. The Tow \u0026amp; Stow receiver line is tested to SAE J-684.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003ePrestige Truck is an authorized B\u0026amp;W Trailer Hitches dealer. Every hitch we ship is new, factory-packed, covered by the full B\u0026amp;W factory warranty, and supported by B\u0026amp;W's own service team in Humboldt, Kansas.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"B\u0026W Trailer Hitches","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":49106913362164,"sku":"RVB3715","price":900.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0805\/4784\/0244\/files\/bw-rvb3715-base-shown-in-the-complete-rvk3715-hitch.png?v=1786363737"},{"product_id":"bw-companion-fifth-wheel-slider-base-base-only-for-rvk3770-20000-lb-gtw-powder-coat-rvb3770","title":"B\u0026W Companion Fifth Wheel Slider Base, Base Only for RVK3770, 20,000 lb GTW, Powder Coat (RVB3770)","description":"\u003cp\u003eThis is the sliding base ONLY.

What you can actually tow is the lowest of the hitch rating, your truck's own fifth wheel rating on the door jamb, and, on a rail-mounted hitch, the rails underneath it.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eSpecifications\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cb\u003eB\u0026amp;W Part Number:\u003c\/b\u003e RVB3770\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cb\u003eType:\u003c\/b\u003e Fifth wheel hitch sliding base, component part\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cb\u003eCoupler Head Included:\u003c\/b\u003e No\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cb\u003eComplete Hitch:\u003c\/b\u003e RVK3770 (this base plus the RVC3006 coupler head)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cb\u003eRating in the Complete Hitch:\u003c\/b\u003e 20,000 lb GTW, 5,000 lb vertical pin weight\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cb\u003eBase Type:\u003c\/b\u003e Sliding, 12\" of travel\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cb\u003eMounting System:\u003c\/b\u003e GM factory fifth wheel prep package, 2016-2019 bed pucks\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cb\u003eFinish:\u003c\/b\u003e Powder coat\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cb\u003eShipping Weight:\u003c\/b\u003e About 182 lb\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cb\u003eUPC:\u003c\/b\u003e 843233004113\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cb\u003eWarranty:\u003c\/b\u003e B\u0026amp;W Lifetime Exclusive Limited Warranty\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cb\u003eMade In:\u003c\/b\u003e Humboldt, Kansas, USA\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eInstallation\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eType:\u003c\/b\u003e Mounts to the four pucks of the 2016-2019 GM factory fifth wheel prep package, exactly as the base in a complete RVK3770  ·  \u003cb\u003eTime:\u003c\/b\u003e About 15 to 30 minutes  ·  \u003cb\u003eTools:\u003c\/b\u003e Minimal; a second person for the lift  ·  \u003cb\u003eDifficulty:\u003c\/b\u003e Straightforward, but heavy\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFollow B\u0026amp;W's RVK3770 installation sheet in the Resources tab; B\u0026amp;W documents the complete hitch rather than the base on its own, and the base section of that sheet is what applies here.

Their answer was the Turnoverball, a ball that flips over and stows flush with the bed floor, and it is still the product the company is best known for. B\u0026amp;W has built hitches in Humboldt ever since and is one of the last hitch makers still manufacturing in the United States.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe company has been 100% employee-owned since 2007, with roughly 500 employee-owners who have a stake in what they build. That shows up in how B\u0026amp;W tests. SAE J-2638 is only a recommended practice for gooseneck and fifth wheel hitches, and where the standard would allow a separate sample for each test, B\u0026amp;W puts a single hitch through all three 300,000-cycle dynamic tests and the six static tests, one after another. The Tow \u0026amp; Stow receiver line is tested to SAE J-684.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003ePrestige Truck is an authorized B\u0026amp;W Trailer Hitches dealer. Every hitch we ship is new, factory-packed, covered by the full B\u0026amp;W factory warranty, and supported by B\u0026amp;W's own service team in Humboldt, Kansas.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"B\u0026W Trailer Hitches","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":49106913394932,"sku":"RVB3770","price":1200.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0805\/4784\/0244\/files\/bw-rvb3770-base-shown-in-the-complete-rvk3770-hitch.png?v=1786363740"},{"product_id":"bw-companion-fifth-wheel-slider-base-base-only-for-rvk3775-20000-lb-gtw-powder-coat-rvb3775","title":"B\u0026W Companion Fifth Wheel Slider Base, Base Only for RVK3775, 20,000 lb GTW, Powder Coat (RVB3775)","description":"\u003cp\u003eThis is the sliding base ONLY.

Their answer was the Turnoverball, a ball that flips over and stows flush with the bed floor, and it is still the product the company is best known for. B\u0026amp;W has built hitches in Humboldt ever since and is one of the last hitch makers still manufacturing in the United States.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe company has been 100% employee-owned since 2007, with roughly 500 employee-owners who have a stake in what they build. That shows up in how B\u0026amp;W tests. SAE J-2638 is only a recommended practice for gooseneck and fifth wheel hitches, and where the standard would allow a separate sample for each test, B\u0026amp;W puts a single hitch through all three 300,000-cycle dynamic tests and the six static tests, one after another. The Tow \u0026amp; Stow receiver line is tested to SAE J-684.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003ePrestige Truck is an authorized B\u0026amp;W Trailer Hitches dealer. Every hitch we ship is new, factory-packed, covered by the full B\u0026amp;W factory warranty, and supported by B\u0026amp;W's own service team in Humboldt, Kansas.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"B\u0026W Trailer Hitches","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":49106914214132,"sku":"RVC3200","price":375.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0805\/4784\/0244\/files\/bw-rvc3200-coupler-head-shown-on-the-complete-rvk3255-hitch.png?v=1786363781"},{"product_id":"bw-25k-fifth-wheel-to-gooseneck-adapter-standard-pin-box-3250-lb-rvgn3153","title":"B\u0026W 25K Fifth Wheel to Gooseneck Adapter, Standard Pin Box, 3,250 lb Max Pin Weight, SumoSpring (RVGN3153)","description":"\u003cp\u003eA fifth-wheel-to-gooseneck adapter replaces your trailer's pin box so the trailer couples to a gooseneck ball in the truck bed instead of to a fifth-wheel hitch. People do it to get the bed back, because a gooseneck ball turns over and disappears where a fifth-wheel hitch is a large permanent object taking up the whole bed. The usual complaint about doing it is ride quality, since a gooseneck ball is a hard joint where a fifth wheel has some give. That is the problem B\u0026amp;W set out to solve here. The SumoSpring is a microcellular polyurethane spring that SuperSprings International originally developed for commercial trucking. B\u0026amp;W built one into this adapter, which is what makes it different from the plate-and-ball adapters it competes with: it absorbs road shock and the chucking that a fifth wheel transmits between truck and trailer, in both the vertical and the horizontal direction, and it does it with no airbags to inflate, no adjustment to make and no break-in period. B\u0026amp;W has tested it down to -20°F. The coupler is worth as much attention as the spring: it latches automatically when you lower the trailer onto the ball and resets itself when you disconnect, the funnel shape guides the ball in when your alignment is not perfect, and the release cable is where you can reach it rather than up under the trailer. It takes a padlock. Two 42\" safety chains with hooks are included. This part number is the Standard version for Lippert 1621, 1621HD, 1116 and 1716 pin boxes with a maximum pin weight of 3,250 lb, on a 25,000 lb maximum trailer weight. The 1116 and 1716 pin boxes need shim kit RVXA3140 as well, to account for their 12-1\/2\" mounting plate spacing.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhat's Included:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eB\u0026amp;W 25K fifth wheel to gooseneck adapter, Standard version\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eTwo 42\" safety chains with hooks\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMounting hardware for the pin box mounting plate\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eFeatures\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eA Spring Where Other Adapters Have a Bolt\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe SumoSpring is a microcellular polyurethane spring that SuperSprings International originally developed for commercial trucking.

A typical installation leaves 6\" to 10\" of bed clearance under the trailer.

The idea was simple and nobody else had done it: a gooseneck ball that turns over and stores flush with the bed floor, so the truck bed goes back to being a truck bed the moment you unhook. That one product built the company, and B\u0026amp;W still makes its hitches in Humboldt, in a plant that has grown to about 600,000ft². The company has been 100% employee-owned since 2007, with roughly 500 employee-owners who have a stake in what comes off the line.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe testing story is worth knowing, because it is not how the rest of the industry does it. SAE J-2638, the standard for gooseneck and fifth-wheel hitches, is a recommended practice, and it is common to satisfy it with a fresh sample for each test. B\u0026amp;W runs a single hitch through all three 300,000-cycle dynamic tests and the six static tests, one after another, on the same unit. The Tow \u0026amp; Stow line is tested to SAE J-684. Every B\u0026amp;W-brand product is covered by the company's Lifetime Exclusive Limited Warranty to the original consumer, against defects in material and workmanship, for as long as that person owns it.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003ePrestige Truck is an authorized B\u0026amp;W dealer.

People do it to get the bed back, because a gooseneck ball turns over and disappears where a fifth-wheel hitch is a large permanent object taking up the whole bed. The usual complaint about doing it is ride quality, since a gooseneck ball is a hard joint where a fifth wheel has some give. That is the problem B\u0026amp;W set out to solve here. The SumoSpring is a microcellular polyurethane spring that SuperSprings International originally developed for commercial trucking. B\u0026amp;W built one into this adapter, which is what makes it different from the plate-and-ball adapters it competes with: it absorbs road shock and the chucking that a fifth wheel transmits between truck and trailer, in both the vertical and the horizontal direction, and it does it with no airbags to inflate, no adjustment to make and no break-in period. B\u0026amp;W has tested it down to -20°F. The coupler is worth as much attention as the spring: it latches automatically when you lower the trailer onto the ball and resets itself when you disconnect, the funnel shape guides the ball in when your alignment is not perfect, and the release cable is where you can reach it rather than up under the trailer. It takes a padlock. Two 42\" safety chains with hooks are included. This part number is the Standard version for Lippert 1621, 1621HD, 1116 and 1716 pin boxes with a maximum pin weight of 4,500 lb, on a 25,000 lb maximum trailer weight.

A typical installation leaves 6\" to 10\" of bed clearance under the trailer.

The idea was simple and nobody else had done it: a gooseneck ball that turns over and stores flush with the bed floor, so the truck bed goes back to being a truck bed the moment you unhook. That one product built the company, and B\u0026amp;W still makes its hitches in Humboldt, in a plant that has grown to about 600,000ft². The company has been 100% employee-owned since 2007, with roughly 500 employee-owners who have a stake in what comes off the line.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe testing story is worth knowing, because it is not how the rest of the industry does it. SAE J-2638, the standard for gooseneck and fifth-wheel hitches, is a recommended practice, and it is common to satisfy it with a fresh sample for each test. B\u0026amp;W runs a single hitch through all three 300,000-cycle dynamic tests and the six static tests, one after another, on the same unit. The Tow \u0026amp; Stow line is tested to SAE J-684. Every B\u0026amp;W-brand product is covered by the company's Lifetime Exclusive Limited Warranty to the original consumer, against defects in material and workmanship, for as long as that person owns it.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003ePrestige Truck is an authorized B\u0026amp;W dealer.

People do it to get the bed back, because a gooseneck ball turns over and disappears where a fifth-wheel hitch is a large permanent object taking up the whole bed. The usual complaint about doing it is ride quality, since a gooseneck ball is a hard joint where a fifth wheel has some give. That is the problem B\u0026amp;W set out to solve here. The SumoSpring is a microcellular polyurethane spring that SuperSprings International originally developed for commercial trucking. B\u0026amp;W built one into this adapter, which is what makes it different from the plate-and-ball adapters it competes with: it absorbs road shock and the chucking that a fifth wheel transmits between truck and trailer, in both the vertical and the horizontal direction, and it does it with no airbags to inflate, no adjustment to make and no break-in period. B\u0026amp;W has tested it down to -20°F. The coupler is worth as much attention as the spring: it latches automatically when you lower the trailer onto the ball and resets itself when you disconnect, the funnel shape guides the ball in when your alignment is not perfect, and the release cable is where you can reach it rather than up under the trailer. It takes a padlock. Two 42\" safety chains with hooks are included.

On the truck side you need a gooseneck ball rated for your loaded trailer and roughly 5.5\" of clearance around it, which is the figure to check if you have a recessed toolbox in the bed. A typical installation leaves 6\" to 10\" of bed clearance under the trailer. Two 42\" safety chains are included; Ram HD trucks with the factory gooseneck prep package need the longer 51-1\/2\" chains, which are sold as RVXA3141.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eSpecifications\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cb\u003eB\u0026amp;W Part Number:\u003c\/b\u003e RVGN3163\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cb\u003eWhat It Is:\u003c\/b\u003e Fifth wheel to gooseneck adapter, replaces the trailer's pin box\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cb\u003ePin Box Family:\u003c\/b\u003e Lippert Rhino\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cb\u003eFits Pin Box Mounting Plates:\u003c\/b\u003e Lippert Rhino\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cb\u003eMax Trailer Weight:\u003c\/b\u003e 25,000 lb\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cb\u003eMax Pin Weight:\u003c\/b\u003e 3,250 lb\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cb\u003eThe Other Pin Weight in This Family:\u003c\/b\u003e 4,500 lb, part number RVGN3164\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cb\u003eSuspension:\u003c\/b\u003e Integrated SumoSpring microcellular polyurethane, maintenance free\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cb\u003eCushioning:\u003c\/b\u003e Dual axis, vertical and horizontal\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cb\u003eCold Weather Testing:\u003c\/b\u003e Performs to -20°F\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cb\u003eCoupler:\u003c\/b\u003e Auto-latching and self-resetting, funnel shaped, with an easy-reach latch cable\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cb\u003eSecurity:\u003c\/b\u003e Accepts a padlock\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cb\u003eSafety Chains:\u003c\/b\u003e Two 42\" chains with hooks included\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cb\u003eLonger Chains:\u003c\/b\u003e RVXA3141, a 51-1\/2\" long safety chain kit, for Ram HD trucks with the gooseneck prep package or where extra length is needed\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cb\u003eShim Kit:\u003c\/b\u003e Not required for the Rhino version\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cb\u003eBed Clearance:\u003c\/b\u003e Typically 6\" to 10\" in a normal installation\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cb\u003eBall Clearance Needed:\u003c\/b\u003e About 5.5\" from any obstruction, for a recessed toolbox for example\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cb\u003eShipping Weight:\u003c\/b\u003e About 195 lb\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cb\u003eUPC:\u003c\/b\u003e 843233085266\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cb\u003eWarranty:\u003c\/b\u003e B\u0026amp;W Lifetime Exclusive Limited Warranty\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cb\u003eMade In:\u003c\/b\u003e Made in the USA, built by B\u0026amp;W in Humboldt, Kansas\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eInstallation\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eType:\u003c\/b\u003e Replaces the trailer's existing pin box on its mounting plate  ·  \u003cb\u003eTime:\u003c\/b\u003e Allow a couple of hours, with help  ·  \u003cb\u003eTools:\u003c\/b\u003e Socket set and torque wrench, plus a way to support the weight of the adapter  ·  \u003cb\u003eDifficulty:\u003c\/b\u003e Intermediate, and not a one-person job\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis part weighs about 195 lb and it bolts to the front of your trailer's frame, so support the trailer properly and get a second person before you start.

The idea was simple and nobody else had done it: a gooseneck ball that turns over and stores flush with the bed floor, so the truck bed goes back to being a truck bed the moment you unhook. That one product built the company, and B\u0026amp;W still makes its hitches in Humboldt, in a plant that has grown to about 600,000ft². The company has been 100% employee-owned since 2007, with roughly 500 employee-owners who have a stake in what comes off the line.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe testing story is worth knowing, because it is not how the rest of the industry does it. SAE J-2638, the standard for gooseneck and fifth-wheel hitches, is a recommended practice, and it is common to satisfy it with a fresh sample for each test. B\u0026amp;W runs a single hitch through all three 300,000-cycle dynamic tests and the six static tests, one after another, on the same unit. The Tow \u0026amp; Stow line is tested to SAE J-684. Every B\u0026amp;W-brand product is covered by the company's Lifetime Exclusive Limited Warranty to the original consumer, against defects in material and workmanship, for as long as that person owns it.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003ePrestige Truck is an authorized B\u0026amp;W dealer.

People do it to get the bed back, because a gooseneck ball turns over and disappears where a fifth-wheel hitch is a large permanent object taking up the whole bed. The usual complaint about doing it is ride quality, since a gooseneck ball is a hard joint where a fifth wheel has some give. That is the problem B\u0026amp;W set out to solve here. The SumoSpring is a microcellular polyurethane spring that SuperSprings International originally developed for commercial trucking. B\u0026amp;W built one into this adapter, which is what makes it different from the plate-and-ball adapters it competes with: it absorbs road shock and the chucking that a fifth wheel transmits between truck and trailer, in both the vertical and the horizontal direction, and it does it with no airbags to inflate, no adjustment to make and no break-in period. B\u0026amp;W has tested it down to -20°F. The coupler is worth as much attention as the spring: it latches automatically when you lower the trailer onto the ball and resets itself when you disconnect, the funnel shape guides the ball in when your alignment is not perfect, and the release cable is where you can reach it rather than up under the trailer. It takes a padlock. Two 42\" safety chains with hooks are included.

If you do not know which you have, the mounting plate is the bracket the pin box bolts to on the front of the trailer's frame, and B\u0026amp;W's own guidance and its dealer network can identify it. On the truck side you need a gooseneck ball rated for your loaded trailer and roughly 5.5\" of clearance around it, which is the figure to check if you have a recessed toolbox in the bed. A typical installation leaves 6\" to 10\" of bed clearance under the trailer. Two 42\" safety chains are included; Ram HD trucks with the factory gooseneck prep package need the longer 51-1\/2\" chains, which are sold as RVXA3141.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eSpecifications\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cb\u003eB\u0026amp;W Part Number:\u003c\/b\u003e RVGN3164\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cb\u003eWhat It Is:\u003c\/b\u003e Fifth wheel to gooseneck adapter, replaces the trailer's pin box\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cb\u003ePin Box Family:\u003c\/b\u003e Lippert Rhino\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cb\u003eFits Pin Box Mounting Plates:\u003c\/b\u003e Lippert Rhino\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cb\u003eMax Trailer Weight:\u003c\/b\u003e 25,000 lb\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cb\u003eMax Pin Weight:\u003c\/b\u003e 4,500 lb\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cb\u003eThe Other Pin Weight in This Family:\u003c\/b\u003e 3,250 lb, part number RVGN3163\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cb\u003eSuspension:\u003c\/b\u003e Integrated SumoSpring microcellular polyurethane, maintenance free\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cb\u003eCushioning:\u003c\/b\u003e Dual axis, vertical and horizontal\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cb\u003eCold Weather Testing:\u003c\/b\u003e Performs to -20°F\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cb\u003eCoupler:\u003c\/b\u003e Auto-latching and self-resetting, funnel shaped, with an easy-reach latch cable\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cb\u003eSecurity:\u003c\/b\u003e Accepts a padlock\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cb\u003eSafety Chains:\u003c\/b\u003e Two 42\" chains with hooks included\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cb\u003eLonger Chains:\u003c\/b\u003e RVXA3141, a 51-1\/2\" long safety chain kit, for Ram HD trucks with the gooseneck prep package or where extra length is needed\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cb\u003eShim Kit:\u003c\/b\u003e Not required for the Rhino version\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cb\u003eBed Clearance:\u003c\/b\u003e Typically 6\" to 10\" in a normal installation\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cb\u003eBall Clearance Needed:\u003c\/b\u003e About 5.5\" from any obstruction, for a recessed toolbox for example\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cb\u003eShipping Weight:\u003c\/b\u003e About 170 lb\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cb\u003eUPC:\u003c\/b\u003e 843233085273\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cb\u003eWarranty:\u003c\/b\u003e B\u0026amp;W Lifetime Exclusive Limited Warranty\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cb\u003eMade In:\u003c\/b\u003e Made in the USA, built by B\u0026amp;W in Humboldt, Kansas\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eInstallation\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eType:\u003c\/b\u003e Replaces the trailer's existing pin box on its mounting plate  ·  \u003cb\u003eTime:\u003c\/b\u003e Allow a couple of hours, with help  ·  \u003cb\u003eTools:\u003c\/b\u003e Socket set and torque wrench, plus a way to support the weight of the adapter  ·  \u003cb\u003eDifficulty:\u003c\/b\u003e Intermediate, and not a one-person job\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis part weighs about 170 lb and it bolts to the front of your trailer's frame, so support the trailer properly and get a second person before you start.

The idea was simple and nobody else had done it: a gooseneck ball that turns over and stores flush with the bed floor, so the truck bed goes back to being a truck bed the moment you unhook. That one product built the company, and B\u0026amp;W still makes its hitches in Humboldt, in a plant that has grown to about 600,000ft². The company has been 100% employee-owned since 2007, with roughly 500 employee-owners who have a stake in what comes off the line.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe testing story is worth knowing, because it is not how the rest of the industry does it. SAE J-2638, the standard for gooseneck and fifth-wheel hitches, is a recommended practice, and it is common to satisfy it with a fresh sample for each test. B\u0026amp;W runs a single hitch through all three 300,000-cycle dynamic tests and the six static tests, one after another, on the same unit. The Tow \u0026amp; Stow line is tested to SAE J-684.

The first is that hooking up should take one movement: line the ball up, lower the trailer, and the automatic latch closes, with a cone-shaped mouth doing the fine alignment so you are not shuffling the truck back and forth for the last inch. The second is that a gooseneck trailer parked anywhere is currently a trailer anyone with a truck can take. The Defender has a push-button keyed lock built into the coupler, and it locks whether the trailer is coupled to your truck or standing on its own, so you can secure a trailer at a jobsite, at a campground or on your own driveway without hanging a separate coupler lock on it and hoping.

The idea was simple and nobody else had done it: a gooseneck ball that turns over and stores flush with the bed floor, so the truck bed goes back to being a truck bed the moment you unhook. That one product built the company, and B\u0026amp;W still makes its hitches in Humboldt, in a plant that has grown to about 600,000ft². The company has been 100% employee-owned since 2007, with roughly 500 employee-owners who have a stake in what comes off the line.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe testing story is worth knowing, because it is not how the rest of the industry does it. SAE J-2638, the standard for gooseneck and fifth-wheel hitches, is a recommended practice, and it is common to satisfy it with a fresh sample for each test. B\u0026amp;W runs a single hitch through all three 300,000-cycle dynamic tests and the six static tests, one after another, on the same unit. The Tow \u0026amp; Stow line is tested to SAE J-684. Every B\u0026amp;W-brand product is covered by the company's Lifetime Exclusive Limited Warranty to the original consumer, against defects in material and workmanship, for as long as that person owns it.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003ePrestige Truck is an authorized B\u0026amp;W dealer. Every B\u0026amp;W product we ship is new, in the factory carton, and backed by B\u0026amp;W's own warranty and its US-based support team in Humboldt, Kansas.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"B\u0026W Trailer Hitches","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":49106915950836,"sku":"GNC4250","price":340.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0805\/4784\/0244\/files\/bw-defender-locking-gooseneck-coupler-gnc4250-studio-socket-view.png?v=1786363845"}],"url":"https:\/\/prestigetruck.com\/collections\/bw-trailer-hitches.oembed","provider":"Prestige Truck","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
