Question:
I have a 2024 F-250 short bed and I need a sliding 5th wheel hitch. I have the factory prep package will the B&W Companion OEM 5th Wheel Trailer Hitch item # BWRVK3370 work?

Yes, the B&W Companion OEM 5th Wheel Trailer Hitch item # BWRVK3370 will fit in the puck system of your short bed 2024 F-250. The Companion Slider has a 20,000 lbs capacity and will give you 12" of travel for making tight turns and backing.
I really like the Companion because of its 1" thick dual jaws that provide a 360-degree jaw to kingpin contact. This system minimizes the chucking, jarring, and noise that can occur when towing a 5th wheel trailer. This not only provides a more secure connection but also a quieter more comfortable towing experience.
I have linked an installation and review video below, along with a picture, that will show you what the Companion Slider looks like installed.
Don't forget your lube plate. The Lube Plate for 5th Wheel Trailer Hitches - 10" Diameter item # 16721 will prevent scratches on your fifth-wheel's skid plate and ease trailer hookup.
