Is there a way of installing both types of hitch hardware on my truck? I have a gooseneck equipment trailer and a 5th wheel camper and need both hitches. 2007 F350 6 Bed 5th Wheel & Gooseneck Hitch Installation

We do have a solution for you, but you cannot install both a 5th wheel base rail kit and a gooseneck hitch on your 2007 Ford F-350 because they take up the same space.

The best solution for you would be to install the B&W Turnoverball Underbed Gooseneck Trailer Hitch # BWGNRK1108. The great thing about this hitch is that when you are not towing you can turn the gooseneck hitch ball upside down in the hatch for a clear bed.

The people at B&W have done a great job at providing a way for people to still tow their 5th wheel trailer even with a gooseneck hitch installed via their Companion series 5th wheel hitches. Since your truck bed is shorter than 8 feet you will need the sliding version # BWRVK3400-5W for increased trailer-to-cab clearance for tight turning situations. The great things about this hitch is that it simply drops into the gooseneck receiver on the Gooseneck Trailer Hitch # BWGNRK1108 for installation, it is a heavy-duty hitch with a weight capacity of 20,000 lbs, and it is made right here in the USA!

If you do not already have a 7-Way connector in the bed of your F-350 then I recommend installing the Bargman # 50-97-410 to make connecting and disconnecting your trailers much easier.

I have also attached some installation videos for you to check out.
