In order to use the B&W Patriot 5th Wheel Trailer Hitch part # BWRVK3270 or part # BWRVK3255 on a 2020 Ford F-350 with factory prep package you will need to use either the Demco 5th Wheel Rail Adapter for Ford OEM part # DM6175 or the Reese Elite Series Underbed Rail Adapter part # RP30156. I recommend the Demco Adapter because it's shorter therefore will give you a better chance of towing level without maxing out all your adjustments.
