Recommended B&W Companion For A 2022 Ford F-350 With A Long Bed And Factory Pucks
Question:
I am looking to install a B&W Companion on my new 2022 Ford F-350 Super Duty long bed with the factory pucks. I saw that there are two options, one for e 20k and one for a 25k. I don't think I will ever really need something like the 25k option, but my truck is rated extremely high for what it can tow, like over 30,000 pounds. Is it worth going with the heavier duty option since my truck can handle it?

If you are trying to decide between the 20k # BWRVK3300 and 25k # BWRVK3305 B&W Companion hitches, I recommend going with the 25k option. Yes, this is the more expensive option, but due to your truck having such a high 5th wheel towing capacity, I believe this will suit your truck better. Even if your 5th wheel isn't near this capacity, it does give you the option to upgrade down the road if you ever feel the need to do so and will absolutely handle trailers with a lighter weight.
