The overriding factor that makes B&W Companion 5th Wheel Hitch the best is its jaws. The dual jaws on the Companion are not only a solid 1" thick, they wrap totally and completely around your kingpin; B&W tests them to have a tolerance that is the thickness of a piece of paper, meaning there is no space for the kingpin to move when the jaws have a hold on it.
The thick, highly secure jaw system ensures you have a much more comfortable and quieter ride with the Companion compared to other hitches. With lesser hitches you will experience a lot of rattle and play in the hitch because the kingpin of your trailer simply isn't as secure.
The Companion also minimizes noise and make for a comfortable towing experience because of its polyurethane bushings that act as cushions to further minimize noise and rattle.
It is made of steel which is powder coated to prevent rust, and is so durable that you can be confident this will be the last fifth wheel hitch you ever have to purchase; it comes with a lifetime warranty to ensure that.
