Expert Reply:
The Demco Recon Gooseneck-to-5th Wheel Trailer Hitch Adapter part # DM8550045 is an excellent option for a 2019 Ford F-350. In regards to turning clearance, it should give you enough to make moderately sharp turns without having to worry about the trailer loft coming into contact with the vehicle cab. That said, this will be different for each truck/trailer combo so the only way to be sure is by measuring beforehand. I have attached for you below the formula you will need to determine clearance.
(A + B) - C = Clearance
A = Distance from center of gooseneck opening to truck cab
B = Distance from center of king pin to loft (+/-)
C = Width of trailer divided by 2 (to get half)
