Looking for a hitch to haul my new 2019 Heartland Cyclone 4200 toy hauler. I have a 2022 Ford f450 with the puck system. Will this work

It looks like the dry weight of your 2019 Heartland Cyclone 4200 Toy Hauler is 15,725lbs so once loaded would be at or above 20,000lbs. Because of this the B&W Companion OEM 5th-Wheel Hitch for Ford Super Duty Prep Package-20,000lbs # BWRVK3300 won't have enough weight capacity to safely haul your trailer. I recommend going up a weight class to the B&W Companion OEM 5th Wheel Hitch for Ford Super Duty Prep Package - 25,000lbs # BWRVK3305. Typically manufacturers recommend only using 80-85% of total weight capacity to ensure the safety of your equipment.

Both of these hitches are specially designed to attach to the receivers in your factory 5th-wheel towing prep package. They have 1" thick dual jaws provide 360-degree jaw-to-king-pin contact for less rattle and more security than slide-bar jaws. They both have an adjustable hitch height of 16-3/4" - 18-3/4" and cam-action latching handle helps prevent binding making it simple to release, even on unlevel terrain.
