5th Wheel Trailer Hitch for a 2017 Ford F-350 with Factory Prep Package and Reese Revolution Pin Box
Question:
Hello, I ordered a 2017 F350 with short bed and a Jayco HT 29.5 with a Reese Revolution 90 pin box. The ford comes with the 5th wheel/gooseneck prep package. Could you let me know if I should go with a Reese slider hitch or will a fixed Reese hitch be sufficient? Thank you

Expert Reply:
Since the trailer comes with the Reese Revolution pin box you will need a fixed hitch, not a slider, and a custom wedge to match the hitch. The wedge prevents the trailer from turning at the hitch so that it turns 22 inches further back allowing you to make tight turns without needing a slider.
For a hitch that fits directly into the factory prep package on Ford trucks including your 2017 F-350 I recommend the Reese M5 hitch # RP30921. And for a custom wedge use # RP44FR.
