Is the B&W Companion OEM 5th Wheel Hitch Compatible With Sidewinder Pin Boxes
Question:
Will this plate work with a Reese Elite AirBorne Sidewinder part number 5AS16K
asked by: Lynn M
Expert Reply:
Yes, the B&W Companion OEM 5th-Wheel Hitch for Ford Super Duty Prep Package # BWRVK3300 is compatible with sidewinder pin boxes like your # 5AS16K. This hitch uses four attachment points to connect to the puck system in your 2020 Ford F-250 Super Duty's bed. You'll also need the 5th Airborne Custom Wedge for B&W Fifth Wheels
Item # SWW-06 to prevent the king pin of your pin box from pivoting in the jaws of your hitch. This hitch has 1" thick dual jaws provide 360-degree jaw-to-king-pin contact for less rattle and more security than slide-bar jaws. It has an adjustable hitch height from 16-3/4" to 18-3/4" to help level your trailer while towing.
Other Companion models like the # BWRVK3500 that connect via gooseneck hitch are not compatible with sidewinder pin boxes.
