B&W 5th Wheel Trailer Hitch and Installation Kit for a 2017 Ford F-250, 6-3/4 Foot Bed, 4x4
Question:
Does BandW have the rail bracket kit for the new 2017 F250 4x4 short bed available yet?

Expert Reply:
As far as a regular above the bed rail fit for a 5th wheel hitch there is nothing yet for the 2017 Ford F-250. But there is a B&W Turnover Ball gooseneck hitch available for the 4x4 short bed models without the factory rail kit. It is # BWGNRK1116. You could then use the Companion hitch # BWRVK3400-5W.
Another option if you want to use the Patriot Slider # BWRVK3270 is to use a different brand 5th wheel installation kit. This hitch will fit in industry-standard, above-bed rails - B&W, Curt, Draw-Tite, Hidden Hitch, Pro Series, Reese, and Valley. So for your 2017 Ford F-250 6-3/4 foot bed 4x4 you can use installation kit # RP50074-58.
