Question:
I have a B&W Turnover ball GN hitch. Can that be used with an offset trailer ball and the Andersen Ultimate 5th wheel connection. Can this all be used together on my 2018 F-150 with the 6-1/2 foot box?

Expert Reply:
It is perfectly acceptable to use the B&W Turnover ball Gooseneck hitch # BW77FR, and the # BWGNXA4085 offset ball be used with an Andersen Ultimate 5th wheel Connection. The Andersen hitch adapter provides about 8 inches of offset, plus the 4 inches you'll get from the offset ball add up to the same 12 inch offset you'd get from most sliding fifth wheel hitches. I've also confirmed the compatibility with Andersen.

I am seeing conflicting answers. Your response says it is ok to use an offset gooseball with the Anderson ultimate but another response from Jesse M says it should not be done. These seem to be in direct conflict, so I wanted to confirm prior to ordering any parts
