Can Reese Revolution/Sidewinder be Used with B&W Companion Hitch for 2017 Ford Factory Rail Kit

Question:

Question about: BandW Companion OEM 5th-Wheel Hitch for Ford Super Duty Prep Package - Dual Jaw - 20,000 lbs Item # BWRVK3300 Your description says this is for the 8 foot bed, why cant it work in the 6 3/4foot bed using a Reese Revolution and Wedge SWW-06? Thanks

Actually the B&W Companion hitch part # BWRVK3300 that you referenced can be used with Sidewinder pin boxes. Since you have a short bed 2017 Ford F-250 with the factory rail kit this hitch would be an excellent option if your trailer has a Sidewinder/Reese Revolution. The wedge you would want to go with it is the part # SWW-06.

The Companion hitches that attach through a gooseneck ball are the ones that can't be used with Sidewinders. The Sidewinders need 4 point of attachment on the hitch.
