Would B and W Companion Hitch from 2016 GMC 3500HD Factory Rail Kit Also Fit 2020 GMC Rail Kit

Question:

I currently have the BandW Companion 5th wheel hitch for my 2016 GMC 3500HD. Will this hitch fit the new base for BandW Item # BWRVK3715 ? I dont want to have to buy the saddle part if it will fit the base part.

In 2020 GM changed their factory fifth wheel rail kits so the hitch from your 2016 Sierra would not fit. You have two options though. You could get just the base part # BWRVB3715 and install the head of your current hitch on it or you could go with an all new hitch like the part # BWRVK3715.

Keep in mind it might be easier to resell a complete hitch if you decide you want to offset the cost of the new hitch at all as opposed to just the base of a hitch.
