Best 5th Wheel hitch for 2013 Ford F350 Dually w/ Factory 5th Wheel Prep Package
Question:
I have a 2013 Ford F-350 dually with the hitch mounting holes or pucks in the truck bed. I am looking to get an 18,0000 GVWR 5th wheel. Which bed mounted hitch would give the best ride?

Expert Reply:
I really like the B&W Companion OEM model, part # BWRVK3300. The hitch has a large 20K capacity, and other features like a 1 inch thick jaw system that has full 360 degree contact with the king pin which helps provide a smoother ride. The hitch also utilizes polyurethane bushings to help dampen road shocks and help keep them isolated from the tow vehicle. The hitch also has a unique cam operated actuating arm that resists binding, even when you're trying to hitch up on uneven pavement.
If you don't already have the 7-way trailer connector installed in the truck bed, you can install one using part # 50-97-410. To view a product demonstration video for the hitch and an install video for the trailer connector, click the provided links.
