Correct Underbed Installation Kit for B&W Companion 5th Wheel Hitch on 2019 Ford F-450

Question

Question:

I do have a question on the BMW companion fifth wheel trailer hitch 20,000 pound and the code for it is BWRVK3500- 5W and I’m also seeing the BMW companion OEM fifth will hitch for Ford super duty prep package BWRVK3300. I have a 2019 Ford F-450 and liked this look and set up but just wanted to know which one was the correct one for my F-450 and also what custom under bed installation kit will I need to get. I’m seeing BWGNRK1117- 5W but just wanted to double check. Thank you

The correct underbed installation kit for your 2019 F-450 Super Duty is the Custom Underbed Installation Kit for B&W Companion 5th Wheel Trailer Hitches # BWGNRK1116-5W which is going to allow you to install the B&W Companion 5th Wheel Trailer Hitch # BWRVK3500-5W.

The B&W Companion OEM 5th-Wheel Hitch for Ford Super Duty Prep Package # BWRVK3300 you referenced would only work if you had the factory prep package with pucks in the bed of your '19 Ford F-450. Since you asked about the correct custom underbed installation kit that means you would not have that.

Adding the underbed kit and Companion will give you what is considered by many to be the best 5th wheel hitch in the industry and an underbed kit which doubles as a heavy-duty gooseneck hitch if you ever have the need or decide to tow a gooseneck trailer. I have added links to video reviews for you to check out as well.

You will have to go with a sliding hitch to allow the trailer to make tight turns. For a trailer 8 feet wide the only bed length that's going to allow 90 degree turns without a slider is a stationary hitch. That being said you have two options.…

Great question, Jeff! When the Rota-Flex first came out it renovated what a pin box could do and be, but at this point in time that technology is a little more dated and the Gen-Y Hitch Shock Absorbing 5th Wheel Pin Box #325-GH-8040 is the "new…
