Recommended Gooseneck Trailer Hitch for a 2008 Ford F-350 with an 8 Foot Bed

Question:

Will a 2106 factory installed gooseneck set up for a Ford 350 powerstroke be interchangeable with a 2008 350 powerstroke? I believe the 2016 is a 6 foot bed and the 2008 is a 8 foot bed but there is a difference in length. Thank you.

I do have gooseneck hitch options for your 2008 Ford F-350 but we do not sell OEM gooseneck hitches therefore I would not be able to confirm compatibility between a 2008 Ford F-350 and a 2016 Ford F-350. However, a 2008 F-350 is a completely different generation than a 2016 F-350 therefore it is highly unlikely that the hitch will work for you.

For a 2008 Ford F-350, I recommend using the B&W Turnoverball Underbed Gooseneck Trailer Hitch part # BWGNRK1108. This hitch is considered to be one of the best in the industry. It has a 30,000 lb towing capacity and comes with a 2-5/16"hitch ball that can be turned over for a clean look while not in use. The best feature of this gooseneck hitch however is that you can easily switch to 5th wheel towing without having to cut or drill any holes by using the B&W Companion 5th Wheel Trailer Hitch part # BWRVK3500-5W.

I have attached an install video of the gooseneck hitch and a review video of the 5th wheel hitch for you as well.
