How to Tow a 5th Wheel Trailer with a 2015 Ford F-350 that has a B&W Gooseneck Hitch
Question:
I have a 2015 F350 SB with a gooseneck BandW installed. Were getting a 5th wheel and would like to utilize the gooseneck setup by installing a Reese Goosebox on the trailer. Is this going to work well in shortbed F350 2015, Crew cab, 4x4, SRW?

Expert Reply:
I actually have a much better option for you to tow a 5th wheel trailer with your 2015 Ford F-350 but I don't recommend using the Reese Goose Box as they are designed for long bed trucks. If you were to use the Reese Goose Box on a short bed truck you are going to run into all sorts of problems such as cab and bedside clearance.
Instead, since you already have a B&W Turnoverball Hitch installed I recommend using the B&W Companion Slider part # BWRVK3400 because it installs using the gooseneck hitch ball opening and will not require any additional cutting or drilling. This is also considered to be one of the best 5th wheel hitches on the market and is a much better solution than the Reese Goose Box.
I have attached a review video of the Companion for you as well.
