If you have the B and W Companion models # BWRVK3300 or # BWRVK3305 for your 2022 Ford F-250's 8-foot bed with OEM prep, the horizontal position really comes down to cab clearance. Most people are fine with the arms located forward which allows the trailer to sit closer to the cab of the truck. However, some people need more turning clearance, so the rearward-most position works best for them.
I went ahead and attached the Companion's available positions as well as the measurements with them in order to help you making a decision about how much space you need.
