B&W Slider
Slider is what i was looking for. I can't give a review cause my 5th wheel trailer is being repaired right now. Hitch head assembly from my old base fit right into the slider posts.

American Made!
Product is great 100% made in America!!! Only complaint was not sure if happened during shipping or factory, but powder coat was chipped in couple areas and box was beat up pretty good. I figure it was going to happen eventually. So maybe better packing for shipping would make it much better!

5th Wheel Hitch
Product is great, ordering not so good as sales rep that I asked if rails came with mount and was told they did. Makes no sense that items are shown as the first thing needed for installation. Took an extra week plus the $160 for rails. Unsatisfied with your customer support.

B&W Companion 5th Wheel Hitch
I haven't pulled my 38' trailer yet. I've only backed it under the trailer to check for level and it's perfect! I installed a CM flat bed with the 30K goose neck pull out ball assembly. The Companion was a tight fit but it went on and I torqued to 60lbs per instructions. The seller/installer of the bed put my plug in sideways facing the drivers side of the truck instead of facing the rear of the cab. I cant plug in my cord unless I remove the entire hitch and plug in the cord and re installing the hitch prior to hooking up a trailer. Make sure if anyone gets a flatbed to put the plug in facing the rear of the cab in the corner of the recess. Other than that I highly recommend this hitch.

Very nice hitch. It’s exactly what I wanted for my truck, not much use yet but it’s a very nice hitch.

Hitch Install
The instalation was just as described in the video. All the pieces fit exactly, no problems at all. The job is much simpler with the rear tires off.

5th Wheel Hitch
Receiving the product was a little harry had to contact the company several times to ensure of shipping due to no notification that the product had shipped from the vendor. Surprising received a call from a driver that he was at the address of delivery and needed more than him and I to deliver the product due to the weight. Installation was easy, just make sure you have two people, and instructions were to the point. Make sure you have a torque wrench handy. Look: The product looks great and even looks a little intimidating due to its size. Function ability: Picked up a 31 foot fifth wheel camper and traveled over 500 miles with no issue everything about this hitch screams quality. I was going to go with a cheaper version or even a conversion to a gooseneck, but I am glad that I went the extra and bought this product. I promise you will not be disappointed.

Never Again
This is not for old backyard mechanics without a lift. This is from the perspective of a 70 y/o who is not in bad shape but also short with a few extra pounds working alone for the most part. The guidance says 3 hours well it took me 3 days. Even though the braces are custom made the tolerances are very close which is a problem with the other stuff that gets in the way. One of the more frustrating parts was dealing with a weld that was slightly bigger. Another major problem was laying on ground and short arms trying to put those flat spacers and rectangular washers below the bed. Chipped a tooth dropping an extension in my face. There won't be a next time but if there was I would pay the $300.

Just Awesome!
Main criteria for me was to find something that looks great and can get taken in and out my truck with the least effort. There was only one solution. The B&W 5th wheel companion hitch. Looks great in my new Ram 2500. Neat easy to take in and out. Installation was a breeze. Works great and made in the USA. It's built to last! Thanks CARiD for sticking the best. Great service. Awesome super fast delivery. Within four days from order, I was ready to tow.
