Question:
Hi- I’m considering a BandW companion 5th wheel slider hitch for my 2025 Ford F-350 6 3/4 bed. If I go with a slider, would I be able to adjust the arms so the hitch sits 3” ahead of the axle as opposed to 1”? Or would I be getting too close to the rear window? Also, would there be a noticeable improvement having the hitch 3” ahead of the rear axle? Thank you for your advice!

Hey Jeff. You can indeed orientate the arms of the B&W Companion OEM 5th Wheel Trailer Hitch w Slider for Ford Towing Prep Package item # BWRVK3370 so the kingpin sits 3" in front of the axle. It depends on the shape of your 5th wheel trailer's nose but I recommend putting the arms at the 1" in front of the axle position.
The closer you get to the cab is going to improve weight distribution but you've got a whole lot of truck with that F-350. With that short of a bed, I would be more concerned with clearance.
What kind of 5th wheel trailer do you have?
