5th wheel hitch suggestion

You are on track with your thinking. You didn't use the slider with the Ram, and now the Ford will work even better. It isn't the bed length though, as much as it is the distance from axle center, to the back of cab. The Ford is giving you several more inches of clearance in this case. No, you don't need a slider!

The 3300 is by far the best choice for your new Ford! You just upgraded to the best truck, may as well put best hitch in it!! You will love them both!

Congrats on the new purchases,

Have towed with both trucks , and have had no clearance problems with either, with four different fifth wheels between the two trucks . Two of those fifth wheels pretty much had the old conventional front caps , the last two the rounded corners.

I wouldn't say the 3300 is the best choice ,but a good one . His truck ,his fifth wheel weight I wouldn't hesitate to go with the Andersen. I personally wouldn't tow with anything else , having towed with both the standard fifth wheel hitch ,and the Andersen . If the OP is looking for quiet ,then there is absolutely nothing quieter then the Andersen .

But as said this subject has been beat to death , truck ,and hitch. I am always a little disappointed when we beat up a certain hitch, yet have never had one . We have seen failures from every hitch made, including the B&W. We have seen issues with hitching ,and unhitching, and worn out parts on every standard hitch .We have seen every standard fifth wheel hitch used wrong ,resulting in dropping a fifth wheel on the bed of a truck. What you won't read is someone dropping a fifth wheel on the bed of a truck with the Andersen , or an issue with hitching ,or an issue with replacing parts , zerks to grease etc etc .
