For your 2019 Ford F-350 with foot wood flatbed deck,I recommend the B&W Turnoverball Underbed Gooseneck Trailer Hitch # BWGNRK1500. Designed for flatbed applications on a wooden deck, this is what you are looking for.

To install you will want to go through the wood to get to the truck's frame. You will need to provide 1/4 inch thick brace straps to attach the hitch to the frame.

Note also that some welding will be required, preferably by a qualified professional. Included is a video overview and the installation instructions so you can get a clear picture of how this will install.

I checked with GEN-Y and they were able to get me the distance from the top bolt hole of the #GY48GR down to the bottom of the coupler which you can see in the attached picture as well as a few other dimensions. It's 23.8 inches. It does not come…

So for your set up, a 2021 Ram 2500 short bed with the RamBoxes, you will need to use a Sidewinder in order to have the clearance to tow a 5th wheel. The Goose Box doesn't move the pivot point and an offset ball just won't be enough for…

I recommend using a Lube Plate #16721 over covering the Demco Recon 5th Wheel Trailer Hitch #DM8550043 in Grease #L74FR. The lube plate is much cleaner and you will not have to constantly clean off the dirt and apply new grease over time.

The only option for a gooseneck hitch on a cab and chassis would be custom fabrication. The B&W Turnoverball Underbed Gooseneck Trailer Hitch part #BWGNRK1500 is designed for this type of application so that's what I recommend. None of the…
