Question:
Does the BW gooseneck hitch fit a 2023 Ford F-250? I do not have the prep package and need a way to install a 5th wheel hitch that doesn't take up my bed. Thank you!

Yes, it does! The B&W Turnoverball Underbed Gooseneck Hitch item # BW73FR has been confirmed to fit all models of the 2023 Ford F-250 so long as they do not have the towing prep package. This hitch is custom fit and includes all hardware necessary to complete installation on your truck. It has a massive 30,000 lbs capacity.
This underbed system allows you to store the 2-5/16" hitch ball upside down and inside your bed when you are not using it. This also gives you the requested full access to your bed when you're not towing.
There are two compatible 5th wheel hitches that work with this system. Both are built by B&W and are two of the best hitches on the market. Which one you need will be determined by the length of your F-250's bed. If you have the shorter 6-3/4' bed you'll need to use a sliding hitch to avoid damaging your truck while making tight turns. I have listed both options below:
Sliding Hitch - B&W Companion 5th Wheel Trailer Hitch w/ Slider item # BWRVK3400-5W
Standard Hitch - B&W Companion Gooseneck-to-5th-Wheel Trailer Hitch item # BWRVK3500
To make towing with a 5th wheel easier, I recommend adding the Curt 5th Wheel/Gooseneck Custom Wiring Harness item # C57010. This harness puts a 7-way connector in the bed of your truck and allows you to keep the one on your bumper. This makes hooking up to your 5th wheel trailer easier and more convenient.
