Will the B&W Companion Fifth-Wheel Hitch Fit with My Carpeted Bed Liner on My 2022 Ford F-350?
Question:
will the B&W Companion fit my OEM pucks on my 2022 Ford F-350 with a carpeted bed liner? I have an 8-foot bed.

Yes. In order to fit a B&W Companion hitch into the OEM pucks of your 2022 Ford F-350's 8-foot bed, you need to cut out the carpeted bed liner so that the base of the hitch sits completely flat against the bed. There should be no part of the hitch that is uneven. This prevents rocking and imbalance of the hitch once a trailer is installed.
As far as what Companion hitches are compatible, the only difference is the weight capacity. Those hitches are the B&W Companion # BWRVK3300 (20k) and # BWRVK3305 (25k). I went ahead and attached an installation video that walks you through the process.
