5th Wheel Hitch Recommendation for 2018 Ford F150 5.5 with Lippert Turning Point Pin Box
Question:
Will the Reese # RP50087-58 bracket work with the Curt A16 hitch as well? Plus what are the wedge p/n for each of the hitch's you have mentioned.

Helpful Expert Reply:
Since your 2022 Grand Design Reflection Series 280RS has a Lippert Turning Point pin box you can use a fixed hitch will weigh less than a slider hitch. So the lightest weight and easiest to use hitch would be the Demco Recon part # DM8550043 which weighs which is about 50 lbs lighter than most at 89 lbs.

Could you please help me setup a complete package for the hitch's you suggested? Provide part numbers etc. I do not want to do any drilling into my truck frame. I realize we have to drill into the box.
