Will the B&W Companion 18K 5th Wheel Hitch Head Fit a 20K or 25K Base
Question:
I have a turnover ball mounted hitch on my 2013 Silverado 3500 and am purchasing a 2019 3500 Silverado with the puck base factory installed. Can I use the head from my present hitch companion 18000 lb. on the BWRVB3770? Also how much larger is the foot print on the slider base compared to the fixed base replacement? Thanks.
