I'm a few days away from picking up our 2021 Dodge 5th wheel prep dually. That being said. I'm a huge fan of Pullrite hitch's. I've had 4 of them over the last 15 years. The bad part is the hitch I want/need is like out of stock everywhere from AZ to Ca. I've search the internet as well.So I'm looking at the B & W Companion 25K and It's a nice looking hitch and has great reviews. I just really like the auto hitch locking system Pullrite has. It's a no brainer. Back into it, when it slams shut your good to go. I don't think I want to carry around a ladder to climb over the dually fender to latch it up, drop in the pin, put on the locking clip. reverse when unhooking...etc.Not trying to start a war here. Is it that big a deal? I'm spoiled with how the Pullrite works, but willing to switch If I have too.

I have no experience with Pullrite hitches, but understand they are of good quality! I am sure you will appreciate the quality design, and fit/finish of the 3600 B&W. It is solid, quiet, very user friendly. Well except that reach to the pin in handle! I'm kind of kidding, it is a great hitch, that you will happily overlook that small inconvenience!! I use a small step stool anyway to put other things in/out of truck bed, so no extra bother.Jerry

They sound like they work similarly. The B&W also is basically an auto hitch locking system. Open the arm, back in until the handle latches back, put the pin in and you're good to go. Then reverse to unhitch: pull the pin, open the latching arm, pull away. Tough to get much easier. An excellent hitch.

I've heard of people forgetting to pin the handle on the B&W, and it never came loose.

I used a Pullrite for many years on 3 separate 5ers..... I now use the B&W Companion..I will say that the Pullrite was an awesome hitch ! ! BUT, the B&W is just as awesome in different ways !.. Like Jerry, I keep a little plastic step stool and a telescoping magnet pointer in a small bin in the back.... I just use the telescoping tool to grad the locking pin.. easy Peasy

Small side note. You didn’t buy a Dodge, they stopped building trucks in 2008. Dodge builds small suvs and mini vans. Ram builds trucks. You bought a Ram.

I got sold on B&W when we got our new coach in '17. At that time, we had our DS with us and he being a little taller than me was the one I designated to put the in in out, unlatching of the hitch. Then we got the DRW and tho he could still reach it, was lil more difficult. Upon the advice from here, got a collapsible step that goes over the tires. When done, simply fold up and toss/rest inside box (kinda near the fuel door area). As for the hitch tho, I wouldn't go with anything else. Lots of adjustments, Made in USA, solid and once hooked/latched.....it's hooked and latched.

I stand corrected. Hence the big "RAM" on the front hood. :)
Just hard to break some habits.

"You didn’t buy a Dodge, they stopped building trucks in 2008"

NOT true. They were still legally Dodge thru model year 2012. 2013 they legally became RAM.

Legally they had to say Dodge one place thru 2012. My 11 and my Dad's 12 both said "DODGE" in the small sunglass tray above the center screen. My 15 now says "RAM" in that same location.
