The B&W Companion and B&W Patriot use different hitch heads and they cannot be interchanged. Therefore, the best option would be to obtain the B&W Turnoverball Underbed Gooseneck Trailer Hitch part # BW77FR for a 2019 Ford F-150 so you could use the B&W Companion part # BWRVK3500 or part # BWRVK3400. The other option is to obtain the B&W Custom Installation Kit w/ Base Rails part # BW39FR for a 2019 Ford F-150 so you can use the B&W Patriot part # BWRVK3270 or part # BWRVK3255.

If you have the B&W Companion OEM, you also need the Replacement Base for B&W Companion part # BWRVB3500 or part # BWRVB3775.
