Which B&W Companion Hitches Fit the Factory Rail Kit of 2020 Ford F-250 Super Duty Short Bed

Question:

I have a 2020 F250 6 3/4 ft bed ordered and should receive it soon, I ordered it with factory prep pkg, Im thinking Robert25-30’ Rv unit. I noticed the hitch is advertised as it fits 8 bed. Will it work for 6 3/4?

The B&W Companion OEM 5th Wheel Hitch for Ford Super Duty Prep Package # BWRVK3305 will fit directly to the factory rail kit of the 2020 Ford F-250 short bed that you ordered. Typically this hitch is used for with the long bed models as short bed trucks normally need a slider hitch # BWRVK3370 to gain the needed turning clearance.

If the trailer you plan to tow has a tapered nose with an extended pin box or a pivoting pin box though you would be able to use the fixed hitch. If the trailer has a full width nose or a non-extended pin box you would need the slider hitch to allow you to make tight turns without the nose of the trailer hitting the cab of the truck.

I attached install/review videos for both hitches for you to check out as well.
