Comparing Curt PowerRide and B&W Companion Hitches for a 2024 Chevy Silverado 3500 Puck System
Question:
Do you think the 25K B&W Companion is better or the 30K Curt PowerRide? I'm looking to install this on my 2024 Silverado 3500. It has the long bed and puck system from the factory.

Expert Reply:
Both the 25K B&W Companion # BWRVK3715 and the 30K Curt PowerRide # C36WR are great options for the puck system on your 2024 Chevy Silverado 3500 long bed, but for your application I recommend the PowerRide since it has a higher weight rating.
Both hitches provide excellent ride quality and performance. Since the PowerRide is rated higher it makes your towing setup a little more future proof in case you ever are looking to get a bigger 5th wheel trailer.
