1997 Ford F-150 and F-250 Light Duty 8 Foot Bed Gooseneck Hitch

You will have to go with a sliding hitch to allow the trailer to make tight turns. For a trailer 8 feet wide the only bed length that's going to allow 90 degree turns without a slider is a stationary hitch. That being said you have two options.…

Hello John, thanks for reaching out. Since your bed is shorter that 8' we do recommend using a sliding 5th wheel hitch for extra clearance on tight turns. So for your 2020 Chevy 2500 I recommend the following: - B&W Patriot 5th Wheel Trailer…

Hey Justin. The Curt Multi-Fit Ball Kit item #C68ZV sits 7-1/4" above the bed when installed. So it's a little bit taller, 1-1/2", than the B&W Ball and Safety Chain Kit #BWGNXA2061, which sits 5-3/4" above the bed. What kind…

Hi Om, Congrats on the new truck! What is your favorite new feature? We always aim to carry the best brands, and while Curt is definitely a solid choice, B&W is the cream of the crop! Their products are not only top-tier in quality, but they’re…

The one really big downside to gooseneck towing is that there isn't a great solution for short bed truck clearance unlike fifth wheel towing. With fifth wheel hitches you can use a slider hitch and have the clearance issue handled. With gooseneck…

Hey Justin, so I checked with B and W and they only have fits that run up to 2024 BUT since we know they 2024 and 2025 trucks are unchanged in terms of gooseneck hitches we know the Turnoverball part #BWGNRK1020 is a fit and will work great.

To add a gooseneck hitch to your 2024 GMC Sierra 2500 with a 6-3/4' bed, I recommend the B&W Custom Underbed Installation Kit item #BWGNRK1020. It has a massive 30,000 lbs capacity and fits both the 6-3/4' and 8' bed lengths. The…

Thanks for the picture! I checked with Progressive Dynamics the replacement power converter you need for your Parallax Series 7300 Model 7345 is the Replacement Converter for Parallax/Magnetek or WFCO RV Power Centers - 45 Amp item #PD4645V.

Good morning, Ron! The Andersen Ultimate Connection 5th Wheel Trailer Hitch System #AN67VR is compatible with your factory gooseneck hitch ball just as it is. The Adapter #AN27VR you're looking at just gives you a better connection than the…

Hey Craig, it sounds like you are asking if the Andersen Ultimate Connection part #AN67VR can be used in the bed of your 2025 GMC Sierra short bed that has the OEM rail kit. If so, yes it can but you will need to use the pop in ball adapter part…

I spoke with my contact at Trailair and from your serial number we were able to determine that your trailer came with a 1621 HD pin box which is a long pin box style. I was unable to obtain the exact part number for your Trailair pin box but from the…

I recommend using the B&W Ball and Safety Chain Kit #BWGNXA2061 for the factory puck system on your 2020 Ford F-350 Super Duty. I like this kit of the Curt #C60692 and Reese #RP30137 options because it uses a handle to secure the gooseneck hitch…
