There is a way to reuse the head of your current B&W Companion Hitch but you will need to replace the base with either the fixed Replacement Base item # BWRVB3300 or the Replacement Slider Base item # BWRVB3370. Both of these bases fit in the Ford factory puck system.

There isn't an adapter that will allow you to use your Companion hitch in its current form in the Ford puck system. Another option is to sell your current Companion hitch and purchase one of the ones listed below that fit in the Ford pucks.
