How Tall is B&W Patriot Slider for Tonneau Clearance on a 2017 Ford F-250 Super Duty
Question:
I am looking at the BMW patriot fifth wheel hitch to go into a 2017 Ford F250 pick up truck long bed my question I have a cover over the bed with the fifth wheel hitch installed how high up does the fifth wheel hitch go if fifth wheel hitch is not used. Can I still use my cover on my truck, or does it stick out too high or I cannot close the cover on top of the truck bed?

Great question, Frank!
The B&W Patriot 5th Wheel Trailer Hitch w/ Slider # BWRVK3270 has a height range of 17" - 19" so just add that to the height of your base rail kit on your 2017 Ford F-250 and you'll be able to see for certain if it will fit with your tonneau cover.
The B&W hitches typically fit just fine under tonneau covers but it's always best to double check the math.
