Where are 5th Wheel Hitch Adjustable Height Measurements Taken on 2018 Ford F-350 w/Prep Package
Question:
Hi, once installed, the height can be adjusted from 17inch to 19. This is from the top of the coupler head and the truck bed floor. But where exactly in the truck bed floor. Is it from the bottom or the top of the grooves ribs in the truck bed floor? Thanks

For B&W Companion hitch # BWRVK3370 fit Ford trucks with the prep package you would measure from the top of the pucks. That is about the same as the top of the bed corrugations. I have linked a video review of this hitch for you.
Are you looking for a specific height that could possibly fall outside of the range of the Companion? If you need to go lower Demco hitches # DM8550024 and # DM8550038 are height adjustable from 15-1/2 inches to 18-1/4 inches. These hitches also slide automatically unlike the other options for your 2018 Ford F-350.
If you need to go higher Curt hitch # C16545-16020 is height adjustable from 17-1/2 to 21-1/2 inches. I have linked videos on the Curt and Demco hitches for you as well.
