Question:
I currently have a this hitch and use it in my 22 Chevy 2500 with the BandW gooseneck hitch. I have been looking at upgrading my truck and a lot of the trucks have the OEM round gooseneck hole. Is there an adapter to use on the RVK3500 that allows it to go into the round gooseneck hole?

Hello Paul,
For the B&W Companion you will need to get a new base in order for it to work in the OEM Prep package. I see that you put a 2020 Ford F-450 in the fit guide, for that truck with the OEM Prep Package you want the Replacement Base for B&W Companion OEM 5th Wheel Trailer Hitch for Ford Super Duty - 25,000 lbs # BWRVB3305. If that is not the truck you are looking at upgrading to, please let me know and I will find the right base for you.
