Towing

Bidwell Truck Tow Hitches

There are many different types of hitches used for towing a trailer. Receiver hitches are perhaps the most common, divided into 5 classes. Some of the other hitch types include 5th wheel hitches and gooseneck hitches.

Each type of trailer hitch has a unique purpose and coupling style, as well as its own set of capacities and sizes. It is important to note that most hitches are vehicle-specific, so please contact the Bidwell Truck sales team to get the correct hitch for your vehicle. We install tow hitches for trucks, SUVs and autos.

5th Wheel hitches

The B&W Companion 5th Wheel Hitch

Experience the smoothest, most secure fifth wheel towing with the B&W Companion Fifth Wheel Hitch. Designed with precision engineering and built to the highest standards, the Companion delivers an unparalleled towing experience, whether you’re hauling a luxury RV, a heavy equipment trailer, or your favorite toy hauler.

Why the B&W Companion Stands Apart:

  • Unrivaled Smooth Ride: Say goodbye to jarring and chucking. The B&W Companion features advanced engineering, including precision-machined jaws, shock absorbers, and polyurethane bushings, all working together to deliver an incredibly quiet and smooth ride. You might even forget your massive trailer is back there!
  • Built for Maximum Safety & Strength: Your peace of mind is paramount. The Companion’s robust construction, including its 1-inch thick wrap-around jaws, provides a solid, worry-free connection to your trailer’s kingpin. It’s engineered to meet or exceed SAE J-2638 certification standards for strength and durability.
  • Versatile Mounting Options: B&W offers a Companion for almost every truck:
    • Companion for Turnoverball: Seamlessly integrates with your existing B&W Turnoverball Gooseneck Hitch system, allowing you to switch between gooseneck and fifth wheel towing with ease, leaving a clean bed when not in use.
    • Companion OEM: Designed to perfectly fit trucks with a factory-installed puck system (Ford, Ram, GM). Enjoy a drill-free, quick, and secure installation.
    • Companion Rail-Mounted: For trucks utilizing industry-standard rail kits, the Patriot and Companion offer reliable, robust connections.
  • Effortless Hook-Up & Release: The innovative cam-action handle ensures easy engagement and release of the trailer, even when parked on uneven terrain. No more struggling or fighting with your hitch!
  • Adjustable for Optimal Clearance: With multiple height and distance adjustments, the Companion allows you to fine-tune your setup for optimal clearance between your truck cab and trailer, accommodating various truck and trailer configurations.
  • Short Bed Solutions Available (Slider Models): For trucks with short beds, the Companion Slider option provides an additional 12 inches of rearward travel. This gives you the critical clearance needed to make tight turns and maneuvers without the risk of contact between your truck’s cab and your trailer.
  • Clean Bed When Not in Use: Depending on the model, many Companion hitches offer quick and easy removal, leaving your truck bed free and clear for hauling other cargo when you’re not towing.
  • Proudly Made in the USA: Like all B&W products, the Companion is manufactured with pride in the United States, reflecting a commitment to quality craftsmanship and durability.

Receiver Hitches

The receiver hitches we sell are versatile and popular for towing trailers, recreational vehicles, and other towable loads. Receiver hitches can also accommodate various hitch-mounted accessories like bike racks and cargo carriers.

GEN-Y’s Mega-Duty

The Mega-Duty Adjustable Drop Hitches start at 10,000 LB towing capacity and go up to 32,000 LB towing capacity. There are multiple drop options as well depending on your trailer towing needs. Each of these adjustable drop hitches comes with a lifetime guarantee and made in the USA.

The Mega Duty Drop Hitch stands apart from its competition due to its adjustability. You can easily adjust the height of the attachment by removing the pin and moving the ball mount to the desired height. This hitch makes towing a breeze as it’s fast and easy to use, and it also ensures that the trailer is being towed as level as possible.

Call Bidwell Truck & Auto to get more information about these great hitches and what will best fit your truck and application.

B & W Tow and Stow

The B&W Tow and Stow is a multipurpose hitch that allows you to switch different types of ball mounts. To switch the hitch ball, simply remove the pin holding the balls in place and rotate the entire block that the balls are mounted on until the ball you want to use is on top. Then replace the pin to secure the block in place.

Easy Height Adjustment

Adjusting the height of the ball is just as easy. Remove the pins holding the ball mount platform in place and slide the platform up or down along the shank to the desired position. Once you have found the correct height, reinsert the pins and replace the clips.

Easy Stowing When Not in Use

When you’re not towing, you can flip the ball mount platform around and stow it beneath your hitch so that you won’t bang your shins. Just remove the pins to slide the ball platform down along the channel and up the back side so that the hitch balls face towards your vehicle. Then you just replace the pins…all done!

Anti-theft Mechanism

The Tow & Stow ball mount features a channel that runs along both sides of the shank. This channel not only allows you to slide the ball mount platform up and down to adjust the ball height, but it also prevents removal of the platform when the ball mount is installed, which will help prevent theft of your trailer.

CURT Rebellion XD Hitch

Ball Mount with ShockDrop Technology

The Rebellion XD ball mount is constructed with ShockDrop technology. Built into the ball mount is a cushioned isolator that inserts between the receiver shank and vertical shank. The isolator provides dynamic, adaptive suspension of the coupling point to reduce jerking and jarring for a more comfortable towing experience.

The Curt Rebellion XD trailer hitch ball mount is built with an adjustable shank. The trailer ball tongue can be adjusted up or down for a maximum drop of 6″ (shank cannot be flipped to rise position). The six height adjustment positions ensure level towing of the trailer, and it is perfect for all kinds of pickup trucks and SUVs, including larger trucks, diesels and lifted trucks.

The Rebellion XD has no airbags or bearings, making the unit virtually maintenance-free. When you’re ready to tow, simply mount it onto your 2″ receiver hitch like you would any other ball hitch.

Contact Bidwell Truck at 530-894-5211 for more information about the Curt Rebellion Hitch.
