Again, just to measure the diameter for you. Edge to edge it's going to be right at 10 inches and thickness on it is going to be right at about 3/16 of an inch. Just to show you, here's an example of a .. This is what the kingpin would look like on your 5th wheel trailer.

You just install this onto the kingpin itself and then when this installs into the 5th wheel hitch, it will give you a nice protection between your pin box of your 5th wheel trailer and the 5th wheel hitch itself.

  • Troubleshooting Gooseneck Hitch Adapter and Revolution Pin Box on Chevy 3500 Long Bed Truck
    You are correct that there is a conflict in using any gooseneck adapter with a Revolution or Sidewinder style pin box. The rotating turret being further back creates too much movement and torque for the gooseneck hitch. You can simply lock your Revolution pin box by using conical washers and torqueing the 3/4 inch bolts to 210 foot lbs and removing the wedge. That will allow your system to pivot at the hitch and work with your gooseneck and adapter, you just won't have the Revolution's...

    Lube plates like the Curt part # 16721 will have a side that says which is supposed to face the pin box. Sometimes it's on a sticker or sometimes it's stamped into the plate. On this plate it's the top side, or the side with the label and UPC on it.

  • What Lube Plate Should I Use With A Pullrite 5th Wheel Hitch?
    It looks like you are already on the right track. A 10" lube plate like the Curt # 16721 would work great with your Pullrite 5th wheel hitch. According to the folks at Pullrite you can also use their dry lubricant graphite spray, but a lube plate will basically do the same thing with no greasy mess.

This 5th wheel hitch has a 25,000 lbs capacity and will mount directly to the puck system for easy installation and removal. The Companion's 1" thick dual jaws will give you a 360-degree jaw to kingpin contact. This system minimizes the chucking, jarring and noise that can occur when towing a fifth wheel trailer....

  • Is it Possible to Adjust Jaws on Curt Q16 5th Wheel Hitch
    I spoke with my contact at Curt about your Curt Q16 5th Wheel Trailer Hitch, part # C16120, and he said a little play is to be expected in order for the pin to rotate freely. So the jaws should not fit too tightly around the king pin. The jaws are operated by springs. The first time you used your 5th wheel hitch the springs may have been a little stiff. By the second time you used the 5th wheel you likely loosened up the springs and the jaws, resulting in the play you noticed. Also if...

  • Excessive Movement Between the Curt A20 5th Wheel Hitch and 5th Wheel Trailer King Pin
    First, make sure that the jaws are fully closing around the king pin and that they are locked into place. If not then that would be why you are experiencing so much movement. If they are fully closing and locking then it is possible that the movement is actually coming from somewhere else such as at the connection between the head and the center section or the feet and the OEM Ford mounts. There are some things you can look at on the hitch to determine if the jaws are not fully closing....

  • Recommended 5th Wheel Hitch for a 2024 Ram 2500 Long Bed w/ the Factory Puck System
    Nothing changed between the 2023 and 2024 factory puck systems. For your 2024 Ram 2500 with the long bed and factory puck system, I recommend the B&W Companion OEM 5th Wheel Hitch item # BWRVK3600. This 5th wheel hitch mounts directly to the puck system for easy installation and removal. It has a 25,000 lbs capacity.

  • Why Is My 5th Wheel Hitch Chucking - Making Noise at Start/Stop?
    On all hitches, in all brands, there will be some play forwards and backwards, side to side, and even up/down. If there was not you would hear the awful screeching of metal on metal, similar to weight distribution systems on bumper pull travel trailers. This cannot be avoided. Some people report improvement with lubrication and/or a lube plate, but I do not understand why that should work. I suspect that the capture jaw design may not hold the king pin as tight as other designs. Since...

  • Lube Plate Recommendation for a B and W Companion Hitch
    The proper size Lube plate for use with the B and W Companion hitch is a 10 inch diameter lube plate. We carry two lube plates this size. The Reese Lube Plate for Reese 5th Wheel Trailer Hitches - 10 inch Diameter, item # RP83002, and the Curt 10 inch Fifth Wheel Trailer Hitch Lube Plate, item # 16721, will both work with your Companion hitch nicely. The only lube plates we offer are ones that go around the king pin.
