The Reese Elite Series Underbed Rail Adapter, part # RP30156 is designed to work with the Ford fifth wheel prep kit.

This will allow you to use standard fifth wheel hitches as long as the spacing on the fifth wheel legs is either 29 inches or 20-5/8 inches. I have attached a drawing that shows the spacing you need.

Hey David, from previous customers of ours who have the same 2020 Keystone Raptor 424 we have determined that your pin box style is the Lippert 1621 which means for a Gen-Y gooseneck adapter you'd want the #GY58GR that you referenced.
