• Which Offset Ball for B&W Turnover Ball Gooseneck Hitch in 2019 Ford F-350
  For the B&W Turnover Ball Gooseneck Hitch in your 2019 Ford F-350, you'd want to use the # BWGNXA4085. The difference between this offset ball and the one for the Tundra and the Ram 1500 is the depth of the gooseneck receiver where the ball sits. If you used either the BWGNXA4685 or the BWGNXA4585 the receiver won't be deep enough for the ball to secure into the hitch.

• Determining What Is Needed For Gooseneck Trailer Turning Clearance On 5-1/2' Bed 2019 Toyota Tundra
  Thank you for the images Barb, but you are going to have to take a couple measurements to verify what is going to work best for your exact situation.

• Can A Rotating Pin Box be used With A B&W Companion Gooseneck To 5th Wheel Adapter?
  Due to the a rotating pin box moving the pivot point off of the head of the hitch, it will cause too much movement and stress on an adapter like the B&W Companion # BWRVK3400 (sliding) or # BWRVK3500 (fixed).

With that being said, what you may want to look at is the Reese Goose Box 5th-Wheel-to-Gooseneck Air Ride Coupler Adapter, like the # RP85FR for a 1621 pin box, coupled with an offset gooseneck...

• Can the 4 Inch Offset Ball for B&W Turnoverball Be Used With the Anderson Ultimate
  For starters, the correct 4" Offset Ball for B&W Turnoverball Gooseneck Trailer Hitches that is needed to use on a Dodge Ram 2500/3500 is part # BWGNXA4085 or part # BWGNXA4685 for a Dodge Ram 1500, not part # BWGNXA4585 which is for a Toyota Tundra.

• Gooseneck Hitch Recommendation for 2013 Toyota Tundra with 5-1/2 foot Bed
  For your 2013 Toyota Tundra with a 5-1/2 foot bed the best option will be the B and W Gooseneck hitch part # BWGNRK1257 with the 4 inch extender part # BWGNXA4585. The extension won't help much, but if your trailer has a very narrow nose like a livestock trailer this would be best shot. If the trailer has living quarters and a wide nose you really won't have a way to do it.
