I need to get a hitch installed....We are full timers....
Did you get the factory 5th wheel prep package in the truck? I added it to my RAM it works fantastic!!! If you don't have that option, get it installed, you won't regret it. There's nothing wrong with rail systems or gooseneck adapters, but I really like the idea of having all the hitch weight directly on the truck frame.
The B&W is a very good hitch. I'm pleased with my Curt Hitch.
Here is a list of Fifth Wheel hitches for Ford 5th wheel prep kit. Whatever you get I strongly suggest a dual jaw system. The 360 degree contact with the king pin makes a solid connection that is quiet and very secure.
