Recommended 5th Wheel Trailer Hitch Compatible With Rotating Pin Box For 2019 Ford F-250 W/ Prep Pkg
Question:
I have a 6 3/4 ft bed on my recently purchased 2019 f-250 with gooseneck/5th wheel prep package. My 5th wheel trailer Cougar Lighthas a side winder king pin. Would this hitch work with my configuration? I used to tow the trailer with a f-150 5.5 ft bed

I have another option for you, but the B&W Companion Gooseneck-to-5th-Wheel Trailer Hitch Adapter - Dual Jaw - 20,000 lbs # BWRVK3500 you were looking at is designed to fit the B&W Turnoverball Gooseneck Hitch which uses a square gooseneck ball and will not fit the OEM prep package on your 2019 Ford F-250. Also the # BWRVK3500 is not rated for use with a rotating pin box due to its single attachment point.
Instead I recommend the Reese M5 5th Wheel Hitch # RP30921 which will fit directly into the OEM prep package of your truck, has the same 20000lb towing capacity, and can be used with the rotating pin box on your Cougar Light 5th Wheel Trailer.
