Question:

Im picking up my new truck tomorrow and it is equipped with a 5th wheel prep package. What are the top 3 hitches you would recommend? My 5th wheel is 16K but I may get a heavier one later.

I have the perfect 5th wheel hitch options for you that will work with your 2017 Ford F-350 long bed with factory rail kit. I recommend choosing a 5th wheel hitch that exceeds your current weight capacity as this will create less strain on the actual 5th wheel hitch itself.

A good hitch to use on your vehicle is the Demco Hijacker UMS Double Pivot 5th Wheel Hitch part # DM8550033. The Demco hitch offers a 360 degree contact point with the king pin and locking jaws of the 5th wheel hitch in addition to a tethered safety pin for easy use. It has a gross towing weight (GTW) of 21,000 lbs.

A better hitch we offer for your vehicle is the Reese M5 Series 5th Wheel Trailer Hitch part # RP30921. The Resse 5th wheel hitch has a 4-way pivoting head. It has a gross towing weight (GTW) of 20,000 lbs.

The best option we have for your vehicle is the B&W Companion OEM 5th-Wheel Hitch for Ford Super Duty Prep Package part # BWRVK3300. The B&W hitches are some of the best on the market. The head provides a 360 degree contact point in addition to 3 adjustable height setting for a perfect fit. It has a gross towing weight (GTW) of 20,000 lbs.

I have attached a review video for each of these 5th wheel hitches for you.
