Recommended Fifth Wheel Hitch For Factory Pucks in 2020 Ford F250

Question:

I have a 2020 Ford F250 short bed. I need a fifth wheel hitch, but I don't need a slider because my trailer is equipped with a Lippert Turning Point pin box.

We've got several hitches that will work great for you, but I really like the A Series from Curt. The Curt A20, part # C16034 will drop right into the factory puck system in your truck bed, and after minimal initial adjustment be super easy to install and remove. The interlocking jaw system holds the trailer's king pin very tightly all the way around, which provides pretty smooth and quiet ride without all the chucking that would be experienced with other hitches that use a less sophisticated jaw system. You'll also need the # C16992 wedge to lock out the pin box so it doesn't turn in the hitch jaws.

Becasue of the way the hitch head pivots, the Curt Q20 you'd looked at, part # C16530-16017 is NOT compatible with the Lippert Turning Point pin box.
