B&W for Ford factory 5th prep

[mach8274]

Does anyone have a B&W for your Ford factory 5th wheel prep? I am getting a new truck soon and it has the factory prep. I love my Companion so much, I'd like to stick with B&W for the Ford puck system. It's rated the same as my Companion at 18k and 5k pin weight.

After some good research, I think I'm going to go with the Ford 5th wheel hitch which is a Reese Elite 25k. The hitch height for the B&W is 16 3/4" and the height for the Reese/Ford hitch is 14 1/2". With the Companion slider, my 5er has been slightly nose high. The height of the slider is 17". With my 5er being 13'5", I could use a little more wiggle room.

You will like the 3300 for OEM Ford. The head will be the same, but the base is much lighter, only slightly heavier than the head (about 78 lbs IIRC). The puck system is easier in/out also.

I have a Ram with pucks but it basically works the same as Ford, you will like it. Ram has a wider footprint base.
