Will B&W Companion 5th Wheel Hitch Fit on 2017 Ford F350 with Auxiliary Fuel Tank?
Question:
Hi. I have the RDS 60 gallon auxillary diesel fuel tank that sits below the bed rails. My tank is 20inch from the front of bed. What is the distance from the front of truck bed to the BandW companion slider hitch rails in a 2017 ford puck system?

On the B&W # BWRVK3370 Companion 5th Wheel Hitch, the distance from the rear puck connector to the back edge of the hitch is 7-1/2" and I have attached a graphic illustrating this. In your truck bed, go to the rear puck mounts and from the center of one of those measure backwards towards the cab 7-1/2" and then you can see how much space is left for an auxiliary gas tank.
The B&W Companion that you are considering is the hitch I recommend most often. The B&W Companion hitches are widely considered to be one of the best units on the market because of their reliability and durable construction. It features dual jaws which are a full 1" thick to provide complete contact with your king pin so you can have faith that your connection is completely secure.
