For your Reese 5th Airborne T320 the B&W Patriot 5th Wheel Trailer Hitch - Dual Jaw - 16,000 lbs Item # BWRVK3200 will fit and I would also recommend getting a Curt 10" Fifth Wheel Trailer Hitch Lube Plate Item # 16721 and B&W Universal Base Rails for 5th Wheel Trailer Hitches - 10 Bolt Item # BWRVR3210 to attach the hitch to your vehicle.
I've attached some videos that offer additional information for you as well.
