Can B&W Companion 5th Wheel Hitch # BWRVK3400-5W Install in F-350 with Bed Liner Installed

Question:

Can it be used with an existing bedliner? Im concerned about the bumpers on bottom of rails sitting on liner will cause it to sit up a little and not into the socket fully and latch. It is a 2005 f350 shortbed. Thank you

If your 2005 Ford F-350 has a sprayed-on bed liner then you're all set to install your B&W Companion. If it has a drop-in plastic liner then the liner will have to be trimmed out to allow the hitch base's "feet" to reach down to the actual truck bed itself. You may also need to trim around the gooseneck ball.

The B&W Companion is among the most versatile hitch systems available and I have linked for you an installation video showing its use in a 2004 F-350.
