Absolutely love the install process and the look of this hitch. I installed it on my 1989 V30 Crew Cab. Took all of 10 minutes.
My only complaint is how it arrived to my doorstep. Not sure if it’s how these things are shipped or if Shipping dropped the ball but it seems like an easy way to lose parts if you ask me. Only stating this in hopes Etrailer can make a note of it happening.
by: Brian04/09/2023
Hitch worked out great for my project, 1966 ford f250 body on a 1976 ford f250 4x4 highboy frame/chassis. Drilled all new holes to mount to frame. I had concerns because I had to shorten the frame 2 inches to accommodate the 66 long bed and factor original bumper. Thank you for the photos and dimensions of drop for the receiver tube. Hitch looks great and doesn’t hang to low.

Had to trim the mounting ears about 3/16” of an inch on either side to clear bumper mounts. Seems very sturdy and well made. Looks good and doesn’t hang down too low on a 97 f250 with standard rear bumper.

I’ve hauled lots of hay with mine no issues. Towed the cattle trailer a few times and it worked great. Highly recommend this hitch

I am very impressed with this product. The construction on the class 5 hitch is something to brag about! Very well constructed and made. The welds and craftsmanship looks great. The only mods I had to do, the center holes on the frame were off about a 1/4 inch, it’s was no problem to drill out with the right tools. It is well worth the time to install, took me about and hour. This is why I’m always proud to buy products made in the USA [Thumbs up] The quality of the B&W hitch is unmatched. The process and shipment was fast as well.

2016 Ford F-250 Super Duty
Excellent quality American made hitch, installation went very smoothly onto my 1973 F250 truck. I particularly liked the modular bolt together design of the hitch this made the installation go easier (since it was lighter and less awkward).
I installed inside, then put the back piece into the mounted side and then installed the second side.
The photos are not the best, but hitch tucks up nice and tight to the bumper. Since the capacity is 16,000 lbs, it will definitely handle the new 28' enclosed trailer with ease (close to 10,000 lbs loaded).
by: Charles12/18/2022
Fit good on my 88 f250 install was pretty easy. Was worried about it sticking out to far where my truck has a roll pan on it but actually fits pretty good with the roll pan
by: Joe01/25/2023
Awesome product! Just had to drill the center holes on both sides through the frame and it bolted right in. The tracking is by far the best of any online purchase I’ve ever made. Great job guys keep it up

Very good quality American made item. It fit my 1968 Ford F-100 perfect. It sits right below my new Fey step bumper and I can't even see it except for the square receiver hole.

Used it 4 times last year to pull my 25 foot Airstream using an equalizer hitch. Still works great!

Great hitch, I didn’t even have to drill one hole in the frame on my 1988 GMC v3500, it bolted right in. The receiver tucked under the bumper very good
The only thing I didn’t like was the trailer wiring plug bracket because it didn’t accommodate the new style 7-way and 4-way plug that come on the new Chevy trucks
by: John04/09/2018
1984 Chevrolet C/K Series Pickup
I ordered this hitch for my 84 Chevy D30 military truck. After a few modifications to the existing mounting brackets for the tow hooks and the rear bumper I installed the new hitch assembley. Make sure you loose install all bolts first before tightening. Tighten new hitch assembly last. One of the most difficult parts is getting the Pindel hitch bolts lined up. I would suggest a good tapered line up bar.
by: Hank 10/07/2023
Instructions sucked, but I figured it out. Works perfectly, thanks
by: Marshall09/30/2020
Awesome, delivered on scheduled and installed the same day with ease! High quality materials and easy to follow instructions. The license plate cut out was from the old hitch. The B&W trailer hitch was perfect fit no cutting necessary.
by: Andrew06/03/2021
It is a great reciver hitch. Bolted right up to my 1985 chevy k30. I tow all the time so a good strong hitch is important.

Very sturdy and looks great. I installed it myself laying on cardboard over my gravel driveway. It ws very tight with the drilling and all but if I, a 62 year old geezer can do it, so can you!
by: Joshua07/04/2021
Hitch fit perfectly on my 1989 Dodge W150! Took less than an hour to install, only had to drill 2 holes to fasten it to the frame.

Perfect fit on my chevy 3500 cab and chassis pickup. was missing a few washers but found some to finish install... fast shipping ordered on 3/16 received it 3/22

I’m 100% satisfied. Dianna A knew exactly what I needed and what I was talking about when I was explaining my needs. The B&W hitch receiver is awesome.
by: Andy04/17/2018
1985 Chevrolet C/K Series Pickup
I just got this hitch today in the mail, it's awesome! Extremely well built and sturdy and the etrailer box kept it safe no dings or dents even. On a regular Chevy truck it will fit perfectly and installation is very straightforward but I would recommend having a friend help hold it while you get two bolts started. I installed it on a 85 Chevy k30 m1008 military truck. On these trucks people have problems with the shackle mounts fitting with a hitch and this one is no different. Some modifications will be needed to the shackle mounts, or the shackle mounts can be removed.

1 year later and this hitch is everything I said it was in the first review. The powder coating is still in great shape although this truck does not see Ohios lovely salted winter roads.

Outstanding Customer service. Very very helpful.
by: J.04/25/2023
Well built and came with quality hardware, which is rare. All the holes lined up perfectly. A real deal, quality "Made in America" product. Free shipping and it was at my door in like 30 hours, somehow. I'm impressed.

1988 Ford F-250 Super Duty
This is a really nice, really heavy duty hitch. It also works with other brands of vehicles so if one wanted to could take it off before selling and reuse. (My truck is a 1988 F250) Installation was very straight forward, basically get a helper, hold hitch up to frame, mark bolt holes with pen or starter punch, and then drill consecutively larger holes till you get to 1/2 inch. Bolt up, torque, and you are off to the races. I did not remove the spare tire but wish I had. It made holding the top of the bolts very difficult. Save time and remove the spare tire as your first step.!

This hitch part # BWHDRH25122 is a custom fit for the 1988 F250. It it still a good idea to use the fit guide and make sure it will fit the next truck. It is not a custom fit for every vehicle.

This is the best hitch I have ever owned and it is made in the USA. I will only buy B&W hitches from now on.

I have been using this hitch for a year now and it is still the best hitch l have ever owned. I recently pulled a 6000 pound trailer from Oklahoma City to Houston with no problem. I am currently building a 1987 R10 and when l am done a B&W hitch is going on it.

See what our Experts say about this B and W Trailer Hitch
- Trailer Hitch that Fits 2006 Chevy Silverado 3500HD with 44 inch Frame WidthThe B and W hitch part # BWHDRH25122 that you referenced only fits the cab and chassis versions of your truck which have a narrower frame width than what you mentioned at 34 inches from outside to outside. So what you'd want is the part # BWHDRH25189 instead which is designed for the truck frame dimensions you have on your 2006 Chevy Silverado 3500HD.
view full answer... - Class V Trailer Hitch for 1973 Ford F-350 with 34 Inch FrameI checked with B&W and the Class V B&W Heavy-Duty Trailer Hitch # BWHDRH25122 is a confirmed fit for the 34 inch frame on your 1973 Ford F-350 that has a 10 inch step bumper. The only thing you may need to do is remove or modify the spare tire carrier (if your truck has one) in order to ensure there is not interference with the hitch. I have added a link to the installation instructions of this hitch for you to check out as well.
view full answer... - Class V Trailer Hitch for 1972 Ford F250 with Barden BumperI am unfamiliar with the Barden Bumper and in my research, I could not find any specific information regarding the Barden Bumper. Our trailer hitches are not tested with aftermarket bumpers. We have two bumpers that have been determined to be a fit for your truck with a factory bumper. The # BWHDRH25122 is for standard and step bumpers and the # BWHDRH25198 is for deep drop bumpers. I recommend measuring from your frame to the bottom of your bumper to know how much distance you will need...

- Recommendation for a Class III or IV Trailer Hitch to fit a 1986 Chevrolet K-20 PickupFor you 1986 Chevrolet K20 pickup truck, I recommend the Draw-Tite Max-Frame Class III Trailer Hitch, # 75034. The Draw-Tite hitch will fit both 6 and 8 foot beds with the standard or step bumper. The hitch is a Class III hitch with a 2 inch receiver opening. The hitch has a Gross Towing Weight of 5,000 lbs and a Tongue Weight rating of 500 lbs. If you are installing this hitch on the 6 foot bed you will need to also order 6 of # 01077-011 3/8 inch spacer blocks. If you have the 8 foot...

- Will B and W Hitch BWHDRH25122 Fit 1977 Ford F-150 with 37 inch Frame WidthA 37 inch wide truck frame like what you have on your 1977 Ford F-150 a very common width so for a hitch the B and W # BWHDRH25122 would work really well. The other common frame width is 34 inch but you only see those on cab and chassis trucks that were sold without a truck bed.

If this is looking like it will not be enough to clear the bottom of your bumper, the # BWHDRH25198 may be the better option. This will measure 7.906" when also measured from the top of the frame brackets to the top of the receiver. Both of these American made Class V hitches will have the same 2" receiver opening as...

- Trailer Hitch Receiver for 1991 Chevrolet 1500 Silverado with Standard BumperYes, as noted in our fit guide the B&W Heavy-Duty Trailer Hitch Receiver # BWHDRH25122 is only a fit for the cab and chassis models with 34 inch frames of 1991 Chevy truck. Assuming you have a standard bumper, the correct trailer hitch for your 1991 Chevy is the B&W Heavy-Duty Trailer Hitch Receiver # BWHDRH25124. Please keep in mind the aforementioned hitch will not work if you have a Crew Cab.
view full answer... - Trailer Hitch for a 1976 Chevy C or K Series Short Bed Stepside PickupWe have some hitch options that fit your 1976 Chevy C or K series short bed stepside pickup. In this case the stepside bed does not matter. The length does. You can use Curt Class III hitch # 13028 or Class IV hitch # C14082. For # C14082 the frame width will need to be 34 inches (measured outside to outside). Or you can use Draw-Tite hitch # 75034-011 (does not fit models with heavy duty suspension). I have linked instructions for these hitches for you.

You didn't say exactly which dimensions you're looking for but I went out to the warehouse and measured the mounting hole spacing. If there's another measurement you'd like just let me know what it is. From center on center the mounting holes towards the front of the truck to the center holes is about 11-3/8 inches. From the center hole to the hole nearest the rear...

- Hitch Recommendation to Fit Frame Width of 34 inchesSince you have a standard cab and chassis frame dimension on your shuttle bus we have the B and W Hitch part # BWHDRH25122 which will have mounting brackets that are spaced properly. It drops a bit more than 2 inches though. It's actually 5 inches down but should still work well. You'll probably have to drill the frame of your vehicle to get the hitch to bolt up though.
view full answer... - Trailer Hitch for a Champion Crusader Shuttle BusFor a Crusader Shuttle Bus, there is not a custom-fitted hitch, so a universal hitch will be the way to go. A good weld-on hitch is the Class V Curt, part # 15901. This has a 15,000-lb gross towing weight capacity and a 1500-lb gross tongue weight. It can fit frames between 18" and 43.88". Your shuttle bus does seem to have a large bumper, so you may want to look into a hitch with a longer receiver. Another Curt option is the RV hitch, part # 13703. This can be a bolt-on or weld-on hitch,...

The receiver sits lower to allow room for the deep drop bumper. If you have the factory bumper, then you will want part # BWHDRH25122. You will also want to note that the spare tire will have to be lowered to complete the installation. It can be reinstalled, but it will likely have to be re-positioned slightly forward of the hitch....

This ball mount will use the larger 3/4" hitch pin # 58388 that you mentioned you have, however this ball mount is designed to fit into 3" x 3" trailer hitch receivers. If your receiver opening is smaller, you can use the Curt Hitch Receiver Reducer Sleeves # C45408. This reducer sleeve will allow you to adapt the ball mount to your 2-1/2" or 2" receiver opening.

The reason for this is because it allows you to use a TorkLift SuperTruss Hitch Extension like part # TLE1542 which will most likely be needed for clearance because of the truck bed camper. In order to add a 7-way to your F-250 you will want to use the 7-Way Pre-Wired Pigtail part # 20024. This...

The trailer hitch, # BWHDRH25122, itself is rated for 16,000 pounds gross trailer weight and 1,600 pounds tongue weight. But if the truck is rated lower, which it likely is, then you have to go by the lower rating. The truck owners manual should state what its towing capacity is. The trailer hitch meets the specifications for trailer hitches required by the Society of Automotive Engineers (SAE) and the US department of transportation....

All trailer hitches that do fir your '89 F-350 are going to require drilling, and for a hitch that fits your F-350, a heavy-duty option similar to the one you referenced is going to be from B&W, and will depend on if your '89 F-350 pick-up has...
view full answer... - Trailer Hitch for 1996 International 3800 School BusYour best bet would be to use a universal application/service body hitch like # 41990-07 from Draw-Tite. The hitch has a 16K capacity and is a weld-on application that would offer plenty of capacity. Other customers of ours have used this hitch on school busses, and have found that they work great. The hitch fits frame members up to 44 inches apart, any excess tubing length can be removed if you wish.

The Curt part # C15300 measures 5-1/2" and the Draw-Tite part # DT45502 5-1/4".

With a weight distribution hitch it really comes down to the weight of the trailer. You will want to select a hitch which falls in the amount of tongue weight range of the hitch but also does not exceed the maximum trailer load rating. Personally the Equal-i-zer systems are my go to thanks to their great quality and functionality that other manufacturers strive to compete with. 200-600lbs Tongue Weight,...

- Which Trailer Hitch Fits 1977 Ford F-250 with 34 inch Wide Trailer FrameBased on the frame dimensions you listed for your 1977 Ford F-250 you actually have a cab and chassis model which has the narrower 34 inch wide frame. That means instead the hitch you need is the Curt part # 13028 which is confirmed as a fit for your vehicle and it's cab and chassis style frame.
