Will Handle on Reese M5 Series 5th Wheel Hitch Interfere with Tonneau Cover on 2016 Ford F-250
Question:
Can you confirm if the Reese 20K handle will fit under a Tonneau Cover? Photos seem to show it sticks up pretty high. I would like to cover the bed with the hitch installed at times. Would I need to remove the handle?

On Reese M5 Series 5th wheel trailer hitch # RP30921 the handle sticks up approximately 4 inches from the top of the hitch head. The hitch is height adjustable from 14 to 18 inches measured from where it mounts to the top of the head so the handle may or may not stick up too high to put your Tonneau cover over it. You could adjust the height every time if it is an issue but it would be easier just to take the end of the handle off. It is held on with 2 bolts so it would be easy.
