Best Fifth Wheel Trailer Hitch for 2019 Ford F-350 with Short Bed and Factory Tow Package
Question:
I would like your thoughts on the best fifth wheel hitch for my 2019 Ford F-350 Super Duty. It is a short bed and has the factory towing package with the pucks, so it does have the puck system. I would like a hitch that fits right in those pucks, as I've been looking around and see that some use some kind of adapter that goes in the pucks and I would like to avoid that. Thanks.

The best fifth wheel hitch for your 2019 Ford F-350 Super Duty with a short bed and the Ford factory fifth wheel package is without a doubt the B&W Companion OEM 5th Wheel Trailer Hitch with Slider for Ford Towing Prep Package # BWRVK3370 because of its herculean jaws, cushioned bushings, and pivoting head, which combine to give you the most comfortable and quiet towing experience possible. Like you wanted, it also fits directly in the puck system of your F-350, so no type of adapter is required.
The jaws on the Companion are a full 1 inch thick, and there is no space between them when they are closed. This robust jaw system is the key reason why the Companion - more than any other fifth wheel hitch - minimizes the chucking, jarring and noise that can occur when towing a fifth wheel trailer. If you take a look at the accompanying photo you can see the full breadth of these jaws and why they act like an adhesive to your king pin. The bushings on the Companion are another important factor; they are made of polyurethane which are cushions that absorb noise and rattle so you can get to your destination quietly and comfortably.
The B&W Companion is regarded by most people as the highest-quality fifth wheel hitch in the industry; as evidence of this you can see that this hitch has been reviewed many hundreds of times (as of this writing), and they have given it a nearly unanimous 5-star rating. Getting that many people to agree on anything nowadays is impressive, which speaks volumes about how good the Companion really is.
I have added links to video reviews of the B&W Companion # BWRVK3370 on a Ford F-350 for you to check out as well.
