B&W Hitches: Types and Benefits Explained

With so many to choose from, it can be hard to know which brand makes the best trailer hitches. Not all trailer hitches for sale are cheap, nor do you want to go cheap when your trailer, cargo and safety depends on your hitch to hold it all together. In addition to being dependable, you likely also want your hitch to be adjustable, easy to operate and a breeze to install. If that’s you then B&W is your brand, especially with their top selling gooseneck hitches.

Types of B&W Trailer Hitches

B&W has been hard at work since 1987, when it was started in Kansas. Founders Roger Baker and Joe Works began applying their combined skills in auto mechanics and agriculture into their first custom truck beds. This partnership was forged to support their families when work was slowing down from their other jobs. In the process of building up B&W, their innovations changed the way the whole industry designed trailer hitches.

B&W Gooseneck Hitches

Believe it or not, B&W founders Baker and Works created the original “Turnoverball Gooseneck Hitch.” This innovation created as the duo sought a way to eliminate the inconvenience of the gooseneck hitch ball permanently welded in the center of their custom-built truck beds. This was made possible by putting the gooseneck hitch mounting hardware underneath the bed of the truck, with a ball that turned over and stowed in place.

The development made customer truck beds completely open and unobstructed when the gooseneck hitch or ball was not needed. Another great aspect of these trailer hitches is that they install easily and require no welding or bed removal. The mounting system bolts to already existing holes in the frame of your truck. Only a four-inch hole through the middle of the truck bed is required for the gooseneck hitch ball. We recommend browsing our gooseneck hitches and couplers for sale at Diamond K Sales, or you can read more about them online at the B&W Trailer Hitches website.

B&W Fifth Wheel Hitches

With the same under-bed gooseneck mounting hardware and hole in the bed, B&W produced a fifth wheel hitch called the “Companion.” The Companion removes and attaches through a hole drilled for the gooseneck hitch ball. Just like the gooseneck trailer hitches, the B&W fifth wheel hitch is SAE J-2638 Certified to tow 30,000 pounds. This is plenty of strength to haul that fifth wheel camper or livestock trailer behind your truck.

The best part about the Companion, is that you can unlock and switch it back to a ball mount for towing your gooseneck trailers as well! This feature is a selling point for the customer who needs to have that versatility. B&W designs have been so popular that the company has been voted best fifth wheel hitch five years in a row by over 10,000 readers of RV Magazine.

B&W Receiver Hitches & Ball Mounts

The “Tow and Stow” Adjustable Ball mounts produced by B&W are one of the simplest and most versatile ball mounts you’ll find on the market. It only takes sliding out two pins to move the ball mount up or down. By turning the front pin, you can switch between two ball sizes.
In addition, B&W stays true to tradition which makes your tow hitches invisible when not in use. The ball and mount can swing backwards and be tucked under the bumper of your vehicle, giving you a flat rear profile. This way, your hitch stays assembled while completely out of the way for everyday use! B&W also makes receiver hitches that are made for heavy-duty bumper pull towing and are rated up to 16,000 pounds. So, whether you are looking for new trailer hitches or mounts, hitch balls or accessories for sale, B&W makes the quality parts you are looking for.

Quality of B&W Trailer Hitches

As you may have read already, B&W puts passion and dedication into everything they make. Unlike many traditional manufacturers before them, B&W put the customer and towing experience as the focus. This has been the source of why their changes have constantly been innovative and relevant to anyone who buys hitches.

You’ll find attention to detail and rich features built into their products. This is what makes buying B&W a better experience. Additionally, B&W Trailer Hitches are American-made and they stand behind their products with a Lifetime Warranty. With B&W, your money will be well spent.
