Parts Needed To Convert a Companion 5th Wheel Hitch to Work in a 2021 Chevy Silverado 1500
Question:
Will a BandW Companion RVK3670 fit a 2021 Chevy trail boss 1/2 ton truck. On a dodge 2500 now
asked by: Allen W
Expert Reply:
No, not without swapping out the base. The B&W Companion item # BWRVK3670 is set up for the Ram factory puck system which there isn't an option for a puck system on the 1/2 ton 2021 Chevy Trailboss.
To set your Companion 5th wheel hitch up to work with a 2021 Chevy Silverado 1500 Trailboss you will need the following parts:
Replacement Slider Base for B&W Companion Slider 5th Wheel Trailer Hitch item # BWRVB3405
B&W Turnoverball Underbed Gooseneck Trailer Hitch w/ Custom Installation Kit item # BWGNRK1019
These parts combined will allow you to use your B&W Companion's head in the 2021 Silverado 1500. Swapping out the base will give you the B&W Companion 5th Wheel Trailer Hitch w/ Slider item # BWRVK3400-5W. This is the only way to use a Companion in a 1/2 ton truck.
To make towing with a 5th wheel easier, I recommend adding the Curt 5th Wheel/Gooseneck Custom Wiring Harness item # C56000. This harness puts a 7-way connector in the bed of your truck and allows you to keep the one on your bumper. This makes hooking up to your 5th wheel trailer easier and more convenient.
