Any 5th wheel hitch like the Reese 20K # RP30928 that is made in install in base rails like # RP30035 that sit in the bed will fit in place of any other brand and size of similar hitch that also fits that type of rails, such as the Reese 16K # RP30047.
The base rails from all manufacturers are standardized and so are the hitches, so if your long bed truck already has the base rails from the 16K hitch then the Reese 20K model # RP30928 will fit perfectly.
Both of these Reese hitches are the fixed type that does not slide and they are made for long bed trucks or for short beds used with trailers that have a Sidewinder pivoting pin box.
