The hitch connecting your truck to your 5th wheel is the single most important piece of towing equipment you own. Everything else — sway bars, weight distribution, brake controllers — is managing what happens after the connection. Get the connection right and everything downstream gets easier.
Here's what's worth running in 2026.
1. B&W Companion OEM The standard everything else gets measured against.
If you ask experienced 5th wheel owners what hitch they run, B&W Companion comes up more than anything else. American-made steel, fully articulating head, one-person hookup that actually works as advertised. The quiet ride is the detail that owners mention most — no chucking, no clunking, no noise on rough roads that makes you wonder if something is wrong.
Built for OEM puck systems in GM, Ford, and Ram trucks. If your truck has the factory puck system, this is the hitch.
Towing capacity: 20,000 lbs Best for: Frequent towers, serious RVers, OEM puck system trucks

2. Andersen Ultimate 5th Wheel Hitch Best lightweight option — and it's not close.
Every other hitch on this list weighs 150+ lbs. The Andersen weighs around 40. It uses a gooseneck ball instead of a traditional rail-mounted head, which means installation and removal take minutes rather than a workout. Full truck bed access when you're not towing. Rated to 24,000 lbs despite the aluminum construction.
The go-to for RVers who use their truck as a truck when they're not towing and don't want a permanent 150-lb fixture in the bed.
Towing capacity: 24,000 lbs Best for: Short bed trucks, dual-purpose truck owners, lightweight setups Shop on Amazon →
3. CURT Q20 Best value heavy-duty hitch.
CURT's reputation in towing is built on exactly this kind of product — solid engineering at a price that doesn't require justification. The cushioned dual-pivot head reduces chucking and vibration, coupling and uncoupling is straightforward, and the powder-coated finish holds up. 20,000 lb capacity covers most 5th wheel setups without paying the B&W premium.
Towing capacity: 20,000 lbs Best for: Budget-conscious buyers, most standard 5th wheel setups Shop on Amazon →
4. Demco Autoslide Best for short bed trucks.
Short bed truck plus 5th wheel equals a cab-to-trailer clearance problem in tight turns — unless you have a sliding hitch. The Demco Autoslide handles this automatically. No manual sliding, no getting out to reposition — it moves on its own during turns and recenters when you straighten out. For short bed truck owners this isn't a luxury, it's a necessity.
Towing capacity: 21,000 lbs Best for: Short bed trucks, tight maneuvering, campground navigation Shop on Amazon →[affiliate link]

5. Reese Elite Series Best for large luxury 5th wheels.
Fully articulating head, wide stance for stability, adjustable height settings, and a locking mechanism that inspires confidence with heavier trailers. The Reese Elite is built for RVers towing large luxury 5th wheels where stability and smooth maneuverability matter as much as raw capacity.
Towing capacity: 20,000 lbs Best for: Large 5th wheels, premium stability, full-timers Shop on Amazon →
Bottom Line
OEM puck system in your truck: B&W Companion, full stop.
Short bed truck: Demco Autoslide — the automatic slide isn't optional, it's the point.
Want your truck bed back when you're not towing: Andersen Ultimate, nothing else comes close on install/removal speed.
Best value for a standard setup: CURT Q20.
One reminder before you buy anything: verify your truck's payload capacity, not just towing capacity. The hitch, pin weight, and cargo all come out of payload. A truck that can tow 20,000 lbs doesn't automatically mean it can handle the pin weight of a heavy 5th wheel — check the sticker in your door jamb before you commit.
