You should be able to install a 5th wheel hitch and couple up to your 5th wheel trailer with the Extang EnCore Hard Tonneau Cover # EX62430 installed and in the folded up position on your 2018 Ford F-350 Super Duty but it will definitely reduce your turning clearance. I have some similar recommendations for you though.

I recommend going with the BAK Revolver X4s Hard Tonneau Cover # BAK49ZR instead. This combines the sleek look of a soft tonneau with the durability of a hard tonneau due to the hinged, 1/4" thick, rustproof aluminum slats. The Revolver X4 also uses a latching system that locks and secures items in your truck bed with the cover down and your tailgate locked.

If you would rather stick with the folding tonneau cover style then I recommend the BAKFlip MX4 Hard Tonneau Cover # BAK48331 instead. This is very similar to the EnCore except that it folds completely up against your rear window and it only locks when your tailgate is up and locked just like the Revolver.

I have attached review videos of all 3 tonneau covers for you to check out and compare as well.

Answer 1

The front header panel of the Bak tonneau cover part #BAK48331 that fits your 2022 Ford F-250 long bed is about 6 inches long and each of the folding sections is about 22-1/2 inches long.

For a tonneau cover to use with a gooseneck trailer the BAKFlip MX4 won't be your best option as it's either going to fold up against the back glass and block total view or it's going to fold down on the last panel and be thick enough…

The issue you are having is because you have the factory fifth wheel rail kit in your 2017 Ford F-350. Firestone does not list the #F2600 as a fit for the versions of the 2017 F-350 that have in-bed hitches like yours. For a kit that does fit your…

The correct Roadmaster Rear Anti-Sway Bar for a 2017 Ford F-450 is part #RM-1139-190, not part #RM-1139-193 which is for a Ford F-350. The Roadmaster Rear Anti-Sway Bar is an excellent option to improve stability while hauling an in-bed camper so you…
