B&w slider goosneck to fifth wheel not sure on the part number but I like that it didn't need any adapters to the ford puck system
I'm sure you'll be happy. They make great products. I purchased one of their hitches a couple of months ago. It will work in the 2017 Super Duty puck system.

Is it a slider? I also have the moride . You happy with it?
Is your truck a srw now?
No it isn't a slider. I had a Husky manual slider a few years ago and never used it. It was difficult to operate and was quite noisy (lots of clunking). My B&W is set to the rearmost position. I can turn quite sharp but still have to be careful. The Morryde works very well. It does a great job of reducing the chucking especially over speed bumps.
Both the 2013 & 2017 are SRW. I did order both trucks with the camper package to get the rear stabilizer.
Below is a picture of my setup with the B&W hitch. I was experimenting when I first installed the hitch. This is way more than I would normally ever do as it stress the tires and suspension.

Nice , so if you don't mind me asking why did you choose to go srw instead of drw?
We started with a light 5th wheel a few years ago and have worked our way up to our present trailer. To be honest I didn't see the need for it. I've never felt unsafe at any time and we travel thousands of miles. The truck seems to be quite stable. We have driven in all kinds of weather. The truck wouldn't fit in our garage either.
At one time I used my truck to haul snowmobiles but gave up on that a couple of years ago. I sometimes haul my ATV around when we head out for a guys week. Other than that mainly hauling the 5th wheel.
That's really an awesome looking setup you have there.
I'm on the fence between ordering an XLT fully loaded like yours or a Lariat. I prefer the 18" wheels that you have and also am not 100% sure I want leather this time around. Could you share your impressions of the cloth interior and also what factors went into you ordering this setup?

We picked up our XLT on Saturday and my first impression when I touched the fabrc is it feels like textured vinyl. In all our othe vehicles, including a Toyota truck and GMC truck, the fabric had a much softer feel. The seats are comfortable with long pants on. We will see how comfortable they are on bare skin when shorts weather starts in late April/early May.

Ok so I whent with Xlt because that's the only way you can get the manual transfer , I also didn't want to pay the extra premium from jumping up to lariat the only standard feature that I saw justifiable was the leather but for $5000 I saved that chip, so the cloth seats are great real tough like a new pair of 501 jeans. The shrink to fit ones before washing. They are Heavily starched from the factory. But I like that . Also with the options on the outside it has all the parts like the door Handles and tailgate , finished and painted just like the upper trims I got that by getting the chrome package ... Then I reinvested the 5000 in savings from jumping trim ,back into twin panel sunroof and ultimate trailer cameras and extra camera to instal on my fifth wheel also got the camper and fifth wheel prep. Aux switches sync 3 nav bench seating in the front adaptive steer. Inflatable seat belts for the kids. All in all I beleave I got the ford truck enthusiest truck that was right for me. May not be for everyone eles but I enjoy this set up.

Now that is a beautiful setup. I seriously considered ordering that color. Looks like it sits nice and level. How does it tow?
Thanks the color is my favorite color I can't stop looking at it it's great!
Yeah real level the truck was bearly touching the overload spring on the rear bracket not the front one . Is that normal or should I instal air bags?
These trucks are under rated and can pull like trains.

I agree they're underrated and certainly pull like a freight train. My F250 would be a little into the overload springs before adding air bags. When I added the air bags the truck would sit level. I thought it rode a little better also. Of course we're talking two different trucks. I think when you load your 5th wheel it will squat some more. You may need air bags. I would try it without and see how it handles the load. The weight police may tell you that you purchased the wrong truck.
I seriously thought about the XLT also. I wasn't sure I wanted to spend all the extra money to go to a Lariat or just load up an XLT. I decided I would spend my kids inheritance and go for the Lariat.
