I got a 2019 Ram 2500 and looking at both the Curt A25 and the BandW Companion. Which one is better or do you recommend and why? 8ft box with OEM pucks

Expert Reply:
Both the B&W Companion OEM 5th Wheel Hitch # BWRVK3600 and Curt A25 5th Wheel Trailer Hitch # C16046 are very popular, high-quality hitch options to consider. I would recommend the B&W over the Curt however for a few reasons.
The B&W Companion has thick jaws at 1" providing a secure 360 degree hookup that will give you peace of mind. The Companion is made in the USA and B&W is known for it's quality gray powder coat finish that resists corrosion. In addition the pivot arms of the Companion will go a long way in adjusting the kingpin and improve your ride. While both are heavy duty hitches, I would give the advantage to the Companion in this comparison.
