Question:

Hi. Just bought a 2019 F-350 and it has the prep package for a 5th wheel. Can you recommend a hitch?

Congratulations on your new truck!

For your 2019 Ford F-350 that is equipped with the factory prep package I highly recommend the B&W OEM Companion 5th Wheel Hitch # BWRVK3305. The Companion series hitches are considered by many to be the best on the market and this particular model is designed to drop right into the factory pucks in your truck bed. The hitch features 1 inch thick dual jaws that provide a 360-degree jaw-to-king-pin contact. What this will do on top of providing an extremely secure connection with the trailer is also allow for a really comfortable ride when towing. The fully articulating head will also contribute to the smooth ride along with easing the hookup process. It has a 25,000 pound towing weight capacity.

I have attached a short video demonstration on this hitch so you can get an even closer look.

I recently bought a b&w companion that fits in the gooseneck slot but I sold the trick and got a new and it doesn’t fit . The question is if I could trade this one in and get one that fit my truck from you guys?

We don't do trades on old parts, but because you have the B&W Companion, there will be a compatible option to allow you to at minimum reuse the head of your hitch. The Companion hitch is extremely popular, so you could sell it outright to someone and upgrade, but you may be better off just getting another base and then selling just the base to recoup some of your cost. If you have the OEM pucks on your new truck, you can use the following base with your current hitch head: For Ford use # BWRVB3300 For Ram use # BWRVB3600 For Chevy/GMC use # BWRVB3700

Is this available with a 30,000 lb GTW.

This hitch is not available for the 2019 Ford F-250/F-350 factory puck systems because they are not rated for 30,000 lbs. The highest rated hitch that we have for the Ford factory puck system is the Reese # RP68FR rated at 32,000 lbs so you'll be limited to the 30K of your OEM system.
