Question:

Expert Reply:
Yes, the Reese 5th Wheel Trailer Hitch # RP30047 installs in industry standard base rails so it will fit to the Reese Quick-Install Custom Installation Kit w/ Base Rails # RP50074-58 when installed on your 2020 Ford F-350.
Your Lippert Turning Point pin box should have a universal wedge but I recommend also using the 5th Airborne Custom Wedge # SWW-03 so it fits more snug. This was designed for the Reese Revolution/Sidewinder but we have found that it fits with the Turning Point as well.
One last thing you may be interested in is adding a 7-Way socket like the Bargman # 50-97-410-010 to the bed of your F-350. This somply makes it easier to connect/disconnect your trailer wiring.
Attached are some installation videos that you can check out.
