Question:

Thanks for your reply! Would I need to unlock my pin box or could I use the Curt A16 the same as I am using my Reese Pro Series 15K now, with the pin box locked? Also my new 5th wheel trailer comes with a 2-way wedge that I could use if I unlocked the pin box, would that wedge work with the Curt A16?

The Curt A16 Fifth Wheel Hitch for the Ford Rail Kit part # C16520-16017 will work well with your Reese Revolution pin box. The wedge you'd then want for the Revolution that's designed for this hitch is the part # C16992.

With this setup you would have great turning clearance.

You'd want to have the Revolution unlocked so that it can pivot at the turret and not at the hitch head. Otherwise you'd defeat the purpose of the Revolution being able to give you turning clearance. The A16 has a unique jaw opening so the universal wedge you currently have would not work.
