5th Wheel Hitch Recommendation for Ford F150 w/ Aluminum Bed Compatible With Rotating Pin Box
Question:
All the towing and capacity numbers for my aluminum F-150 match the Grand Design 295RL with Turning Point pin box. Can you help me a hitch

Expert Reply:
I'd be happy to help with that.
I'd recommend the Reese M5 5th Wheel Trailer Hitch - Single Jaw - 20,000 lbs # RP30928. This will fit industry standard rails and also be compatible with a sidewinder when also using Sidewinder Wedge # RP44FR.
To install the hitch, you'll need the vehicle specific bracket and rail kit. If your F150 is a 2015-2020 model, you'd use the # RP50087-58 bracket/rail kit.
If you wanted to install a 7-way trailer connector in the truck bed, you could do so using part # C57008.
I've linked to some product videos that further explain the features of the Curt A16 and an install video for the wiring harness.
