23 5th wheel

Can anyone confirm that previous gen b&w companion will fit into the new 23 bed?

The puck placement did not change, only the mounting locations for the prep to frame. a hitch from 5 years ago will still drop right in place on a 23.

Unless B&W changed the mounting of the passenger side, make sure if you need rear shocks to change them before the install. You can't get to the top bolt of the shock once it's installed. Not bashing B&W, I really like their setup except for what I pointed out.

But I 100% agree with you. changed my shocks once with the BW turnover - and what a pain. will prob do a shock relocation mount next time shocks are needed.

Are you thinking of the B&W puck attached 5th wheel hitch? Slider? Are you going to get a long box or short? I had these same concerns....was told by Sales today at a dealer that the puck locations were the same. I'll order a B&W companion slider whenever I get word that the truck is actually going to be built.
