Expert Take
The 20K Companion Slider buys short-bed trucks the room to jackknife without crunching the trailer cap. The manual slide is the trade-off, but you keep the cushioned, chucking-free tow the Companion is known for.
About This Product
The B&W Companion Slider for Ram trucks handles the short bed clearance problem. Twelve inches of slide travel gives your trailer room to swing on tight turns. Twenty thousand pounds capacity with all the standard Companion quality.
Specifically designed for Ram 2500 and 3500 short bed trucks with factory pucks. The slider mechanism adds clearance that fixed hitches cannot provide. Pull pins, slide back, make your turn, slide forward.
Same articulating head, same thick jaws, same quiet bushings as the fixed Companion. The slider adds some complexity but keeps the reliability B&W is known for.
If you have a short bed Ram and want to tow a fifth wheel, you probably need a slider. This is one of the best. Made in USA.
