B and W Companion Hitch Recommendation for 2017 Ford F-250 Short Bed
Question:
towing recommendation I would like to install BandW Turnover system to a 2017 Super duty. Is it better to tow a 5th wheel with the BandW companion hitch or convert trailer to Reese goose box adaptor and tow goose neck?

Expert Reply:
For your 2017 Ford F-250 short bed you would need to start with the B and W Turnoverball hitch part # BWGNRK1116-5W.
Since you have a short bed truck you'll need a slider fifth wheel hitch to allow you turning clearance, Companion # BWRVK3400. The Reese Goose boxes are great but around sharp corners you'd have interference between the cab of the truck and the nose of the trailer.
