Best 5th Wheel Hitch for a 2019 Ford F-350 Short Bed with Pucks

Question:

What is the best 5th wheel hitch for my 2019 Ford F-350 and why? I see a lot recommend the B&W but don't really say why.

The best fifth wheel hitch for a 2019 Ford F-350 short bed is without a doubt the B&W Companion OEM 5th Wheel Trailer Hitch part # BWRVK3370. The reason the B&W Companion OEM is the best is because it performs extremely well and is very reliable/well built. The B&W Companion OEM has a set of 1" thick dual locking jaws which form a very tight grip on the king pin therefore do not allow for nearly any chucking/jarring. There is really not another fifth wheel hitch on the market with locking jaws that perform as well as the B&W Companion OEM.

Furthermore, the B&W Companion OEM has a cam action handle which allows you to couple the trailer on uneven ground. If you have ever tried to uncouple on uneven ground, you can probably attest to how hard the handle can be to move. In addition to the above, the B&W Companion OEM also has the same standard options that most other fifth wheel hitches have like an adjustable hitch head, slider mechanism for increased cab clearance, and an easily removable head.

I have attached for you below an installation video of myself installing the B&W Companion OEM on a 2019 Ford F-350.
