Can B&W Gooseneck Hitch Be Installed On 2017 Ford F-250 4x4 Short Bed Without Cutting Bedliner
Question:
I have a Dualliner bed liner with 3/8inch rubber mat. Can I install BandM Gooseneck Hitch on top of mat?

Helpful Expert Reply:
For the installation of the B&W Turnoverball Underbed Gooseneck Trailer Hitch with Custom Installation Kit, Item # BWGNRK1116, you will have to cut a 4 inch hole through your truck bed and the bedliner. This hole is necessary because the hitch must make direct contact with the truck. This cut has to be in the precise center of the bed location in your 2017 Ford F-250 as described in the attached instructions for proper installation.
I attached a link to an installation video on a 2017 F-350 for you to check out. The process is the same on your F-250
