Best Tonneau Cover For 2020 Ford F-350 That Tows A Fifth Wheel Trailer

Published 03/27/2020

Question:

I have a fifth wheel hitch in my 2020 Ford F-350 and was wondering what is the best cover option that will not interfere with the hitch and still allow me to tow without removing the cover ? Is this possible? I have a 8 foot bed and a curt fifth wheel hitch (not sliding)

The best option for a Tonneau Cover on the 2020 Ford F-350 that does not interfere with the hitch head and still allow you to tow a fifth wheel trailer without damaging the cover is Pace Edwards Switchblade Retractable Hard Tonneau Cover part # 311-SWFA19A45. The Pace Edwards cover will fit over the head of your fifth wheel hitch as long as you have it in the lowest setting.

Other tonneau cover that fold up against the cab will become damaged by the pin box of the trailer when you make turns. The Pace Edwards Switchblade retracts down into a canister in the bed to allow you to still make those turns without interfering with the pin box. I have attached a video of the cover for your reference.

The cover also secures to the rails, if your tailgate is locking it will create a locked enclosed space to protect your fifth wheel hitch when you are not towing.
