Installation Of The B&W Companion Slider Gooseneck-To-5th-Wheel Trailer Hitch
Question:
Have a BandH companion hitch installed in my F-250 6 3/4 bed. Will a BandH slider base align to fit exactly to match the drilled holes that secures the companion base to the bed of my truck, or do new holes need to be drilled?

When installing The B&W Companion Slider Gooseneck-to-5th-Wheel Trailer Hitch Adapter # BWRVK3400 on your 2018 Ford F-250 with a 6-3/4 foot bed The Replacement Slider Base # BWRVB3405 installs into the ball hole of the B&W Turnoverball gooseneck hitch # BWGNRK1116-5W. If the turnoverball gooseneck hitch is already installed you will not have to drill any new holes into your truck bed.
The 5th wheel hitch has a gross towing weight up to 20,000 pounds and has a vertical load limit up to 5,000 pounds. It has a 1 inch thick dual jaw that provides a 360-degree jaw-to-king-pin contact. The hitch has a gray powder coated steel that is corrosion resistant. I would recommend checking your vehicle's manual to find the proper towing capacity of your vehicle.
