Recommended Aftermarket Puck System for a 2017 Ford F-250
Question:
If I install the Reese Under-Bed Gooseneck Trailer Hitch item # RP39FR in my truck will it be the same as the factory puck system that comes from Ford? I have a 2017 Ford F-250 short bed and would like to use a Companion hitch but have a rotating pin box.

Yes, it will! The Reese Under-Bed Gooseneck Trailer Hitch item # RP39FR is the same pattern as the Ford factory puck system. This under-bed system is custom fit for your 2017 Ford F-250. It will allow you to mount the B&W Companion 5th Wheel Hitch item # BWRVK3300. This set up will work with a rotating pin box.
I have linked a couple of installation videos below to help you get these parts set up.
To make towing with a 5th wheel easier I recommend adding the Curt 5th Wheel/Gooseneck Custom Wiring Harness item # C57010. This harness puts a 7-way connector in the bed of your truck and allows you to keep the one on your bumper. This makes hooking up to your 5th wheel trailer easier and more convenient.
