The Lippert Turning Point Pin Box is a similar design to the Reese Sidewinder/Revolution Pin Boxes. With this in mind, the Andersen Ultimate Connection # AM3200 that you referenced will not be compatible, as it will only work with fixed pin boxes. This is essentially because the setup would provide two pivot points that may cause a safety issue down the line.

For the Lippert Turning Point Pin Box, you will need to go with a fixed fifth wheel hitch like the excellent Reese # RP30047. This hitch features a 16,000 pound towing capacity and a 2-jaw locking system that will provide a secure connection with the trailer. It also has an adjustable hitch height of 14-1/2 to 18 inches, so you can make sure to tow your trailer level.

If you do not already have base rails installed, I recommend the Quick-Install Installation Kit # RP50081-58, which are confirmed to fit your Ford F-150. The custom brackets in this kit will use existing holes in the truck's frame to limit drilling and drastically cut down on installation time.

I have attached a short video demonstration on this hitch, along with the written installation details that you can check out.
