Slats On B&W Companion Slider Hitch Will Not Fit Into Bed Grooves On 2019 Ford F-350
Question:
I’m trying to install a used Companion slider base in a 2019 F350 pickup and the adjustable strips under the slider will not both adjust enough for both sides to sit into the bed grooves. It’s one side or the other or both sides on the flat of the bed ribs. How critical is this to fit?

Helpful Expert Reply:
The adjustable ribs on the Base # BWRVB3405 of the B&W Companion Slider 5TH Wheel Hitch # BWRVK3400 do not have to fit fully into the bed grooves. Do be sure to tighten the hitch down properly inside the Turnover ball gooseneck hitch.
