Best Fifth Wheel Hitch for 2019 Ford F-350 with Hitch Prep Package
Question:
I just bought a 2019 Ford F-350 with the factory fifth wheel prep package and want to know what is the best fifth wheel hitch fits the rail kit directly. What would you recommend?

Expert Reply:
The B and W Companion hitches for the Ford factory rail kits are by far the best hitches available. Many refer to these hitches as being the best on the market due to how well they are made, how easy they are use, how reliable they are, and because of how quiet they are on the road. Some hitches have looser clearances which can cause quite a bit of noise when starting and stopping.
So if you have a long bed truck you'd want the Companion for Ford rail kits part # BWRVK3300. This is a fixed hitch that fits directly to the rail kit you have. If you have a short bed you'll need the slider version of this hitch part # BWRVK3370. A slider is needed to give you clearance to make tight turns. Otherwise the nose of the trailer will contact the cab of the truck when turning tightly.
