Comparing the 20k and 25k B and W Companion Fifth Wheel Hitches

Question:

I have a 2022 Ford F-450 with the OEM pucks, should I get the 20k or 25k Companion hitch?

It really just depends on how heavy of a trailer you plan to tow. Functionally there is no difference between the 20k Companion part # BWRVK3300 and the 25k # BWRVK3305 so it really just comes down to going with the hitch that has the capacity that best matches what you plan to tow. If you know you'll never tow over 20k then go with the 20k hitch. If you think you will tow over that weight then go with the 25k hitch. I would say you could just go with the 25k hitch and be done with it but it does cost a little more. So you'd have to weigh (pun intended) whether or not that's justified.
