Slider Hitch Recommendation for 2016 Ford F-350 with B and W Turnoverball Hitch Installed
Question:
We just installed the BandW turnball in my 2016 F350 Ford shortbed. What are my options for a 5th wheel hitch? I was leaning towards the slider but not sure which model I need. Thanks!

Expert Reply:
Since you have a short bed truck you would need a slider hitch to allow you the needed turning clearance. Since you have a B and W Turnoverball hitch # BWGNRK1111-5W the hitch you would need is the slider Companion part # BWRVK3400-5W which slides back to allow turning clearance. The Companion hitches are considered by most in the RV world as the nicest hitches around so I would recommend this hitch highly.
I attached a review video for this for you to check out as well that shows the hitch installing in a similar truck bed.
