Question:

2021 Silverado 3500hd with factory puck system on an 8 ft bed. I was looking at the Curt A30 or the BW Companion RVK3715. What are your suggestions? Any feedback? Thank you

If you are looking for the highest capacity fifth wheel hitch that fits your 2021 Chevy Silverado 3500 long bed with the OEM rail kit you can't go wrong with the Curt A30 part # C16070 which is also overall a really great designed hitch. It's quiet and easy to use and overall a simple design that works well.

Now the B and W Companion hitch part # BWRVK3715 is also a really great contender. It has a lower 25k capacity but is widely considered by most RVers to be the best hitch out there. It's very well made, has a very quiet jaw design, can break down easier for an easier time installing and removing and is a time tested design that just works really well. It's a little more expensive than the Curt though.

So I'd go with the Curt if you wanted max towing capacity from your hitch and the best value. I'd go with the B and W if the 25k capacity is adequate and you wanted the absolute best in terms of quality and ease of use.
