Best Fifth Wheel Hitch Recommendation for 2017 Ford F-350 Towing 20k GVWR 5th Wheel
Question:
HI, I am getting a 5th wheel toy hauler with a GV weight of 20K and a pin weight of about 3200 pounds empty. THe question is should I get the higher rated hitch instead of the 20K one? My rationale is there is a greater weight margin than the 20K. Does it matter? Thanks!!!

Expert Reply:
Since you'd be so close to the 20k weight capacity of the B and W Companion hitch part # BWRVK3300 I'd recommend going to the higher 25k version part # BWRVK3305 instead. The Companion hitches are widely considered to be the best hitches around so this would work really well for you!
