Just wondering which hitch people use, I have a F250 with air bags now but will be getting a F350 Dually at the end of this season. I have a Hijacker auto-slide now but will be using regular one with new truck.

Same here, we had an F350 Dually to pull our Road Warrior 405 and now an F450 to pull our Venom 3911TK and have used the B&W Companion with both. It's easy to hook up and pulls well, but best of all it comes in two pieces and is easy to take in and out so we can use the truck for hauling. Right now it has a load of hay sitting in it and when I unload it this weekend, it will only take a few minutes to put the B&W back in and we'd be ready to pull the Venom. The B&W is only rated to pull 18K lbs, so you have to be a little careful not to load the trailer all the way up to its 19K pound capacity, but the 3911 has a pretty light dry weight to begin with, so even if you only load it to 18K lbs, you'll still be able to carry more than 3,000 lbs of cargo.

Having installed lots of different hitches, I have to agree, the BWs are a quality piece.

anybody have any experience with the Goosebox, be nice to not have anything but a gooseneck ball in the bed With the B&W turn over ball mount. You have the choice of either a gooseneck ball sticking up into bed or turn it over and have a recessed flat surface. Take the ball out and you have a square receiver hole that the Companion fifth wheel hitch mounts into. |

I have a B&W Companion, it fits right into the pucks on my truck and works really well, I'm new to 5th towing so I can't really say for sure, but it seemed to tow flawlessly.

Well bought the B&W Companion 25K Hitch (Ford Puck System) to put in the new Ford F350 Dually. Will make our first pull next weekend on our way to Longview, Texas. Hitch looks well built and all reviews good on this thing.

Well this was the best pull I have made since buying the RV, truck, hitch and pin combo all work great. Pull in the hill country was the best I've had so far. WOW.
