Expert Answers about Ford F-350 Cab and Chassis

• Can an Adapter be Used on a Tow Bar with a 2-1/2" Shank for a 2" Hitch Receiver

• The B&W Turnoverball Underbed Gooseneck Trailer Hitch w/ Custom Installation Kit # BWGNRK1116 you currently have is only designed to fit 2017 - 2022 Ford Super Duty trucks.

• Since there is not a bolt on gooseneck hitch for a 2020 Ford F-350 Cab and Chassis you will need to confirm how they mounted the gooseneck ball.

• Pictures can sometimes be deceiving. The holes in the side brackets for the hitches that fit cab and chassis models of the 2015 Ford F-350 are not actually in a straight line. They are off-center from each other. This is shown well on Draw-Tite hitch # 41947. I have included a more top-down picture of it so you can see what I mean.

• Turnoverball Gooseneck Hitch Rubber Cover
• The B&W Rubber Cover for Stowed Turnoverball # BWGNXA1710 will not fit on the bottom of the Turnoverball unit. You don't want moisture to be held in, so putting a plug on the underside wouldn't be recommended even if it did fit. You want moisture to drain out of the socket. The hitch pin is designed to resist corrosion and the assembly is powder coated to resist corrosion as well. The cover is a great option for when the ball is flipped and it actually fits the underside of the ball...

• Why Can't Viair TLC Tire Inflator Air Chuck Be Used with All Compressors
• The Viair TLC Tire Inflator Air Chuck # VA24WR is equipped with a close-ended quick coupler that holds the pressure back so it isn't compatible with regular portable compressors that operate with an open-ended air chuck.

• Can An Offset Hitch Ball Be Used On a 2019 Ford F-350 with Reese Goose Box
• The Reese Goose Box 5th-Wheel-to-Gooseneck Air Ride Coupler Adapter part # RP85FR can be used on your 2019 Ford F-350 Short Bed but as you mentioned there will be some limitations to how sharp of a turn you can make.
