Question:

Does the pull handle face up? I have a bed cover and if the handle faces up I can not put cover down because handle will be higher than bed. 2012 F 350 long bed with the elite hitch, rails under bed. Thank you and stay safe and healthy.

In regards to the Reese M5 5th Wheel Trailer Hitch for Ford Towing Prep Package part # RP30922, the handle does point upward therefore preventing a tonneau cover from being closed. That said, not to worry as we offer a replacement handle for this hitch which is designed to allow a tonneau cover to be closed due to its low-profile, the Replacement Low Profile Handle part # RP58553 which works with all Reese M5 5th Wheel Hitches.
