Which 5th Wheel Hitch Should I Get For My 2015 Ford F-350 With OEM Pucks?
Question:
Any input on the BandW Companion 20K 5th wheel hitch? Comments, yeah, nay? In the process of upgrading my Reese 16k. Its not that old but I am looking for a safe capacity, and feel a 20k would be best suited for my 42foot Wildcat. I do have it narrowed down to the Curt A20 and the BandW. Which would you recommend, and why?

Between the B&W Companion OEM 5th-Wheel Hitch for Ford Super Duty Prep Package # BWRVK3300 and the Curt A20 5th Wheel Trailer Hitch # C16140, I recommend the:
-B&W Companion OEM 5th-Wheel Hitch for Ford Super Duty Prep Package # BWRVK3300.
Reason being is, the B&W Companion has 1" thick dual jaws that provide 360° jaw-to-king-pin contact, a cam-action latching handle that helps prevent binding, and is made proudly in the United States.
