Fifth Wheel Hitch Recommendation to Fit 2016 Ford F-250 with Factory Rail Kit
Question:
I was looking at the 5th wheel hitches for a 2016 Ford F-250 Super Duty. My Truck came with a factory ball hitch in the bed and 4 other holes for twist locks for safety chain pieces that came with ball knob kit from ford. How would your 5th wheel mount in my bed and how easy would it be to remove and install when not in use ?

Helpful Expert Reply:
Your 2016 Ford F-250 came with the factory rail package which means a fifth wheel hitch can easily attach to the 4 pucks you have in the bed around the gooseneck ball.
If you have a short bed truck you'd want to go with the slider Companion hitch part # BWRVK3370 which fits direclty to the pucks. If you have a long bed truck you'd want the fixed hitch version part # BWRVK3300. The handles of these hitches easily get turned to lock the hitch into place.
