Fifth Wheel Hitch Recommend for 2016 Ford F-150 5.5 ft Bed Towing Trailer w Reese Revolution Box
Question:
I am looking at a Jayco 5th wheel 29.5FBDS. This comes with the Reese 16K Revolution. I have a 2016 Ford F150 with the 5.5 bed. They are telling me i need a slider with this hitch for the size of my bed?? Everything i read says i do not need a slider with the revolution. Just wanted to ask you guys. Thanks,

Expert Reply:
The Reese Revolution is exactly what you need with a fixed hitch to be towed by a truck with a 5-1/2 foot bed like your 2016 Ford F-150. A slider hitch wouldn't give you the needed clearance and a slider hitch can't be used with a Reese Revolution so that's just bad advice all around.
So what you'll want is fixed hitch like the # RP30047 and a custom rail kit for your truck like the Reese part # RP50087-58 and you'll be in very good shape with the Reese Revolution. Only other thing you'd want is a custom wedge part # SWW-03 which is designed for the # RP30047 with a Revolution pin box.
