Question:
I am buying a 5Th Wheel that has a reese revolution on it. My truck is a 2019 F-250 with the factory prep package installed. Do I need a fixed or sliding hitch? Which one do you recomend?

You will need a fixed hitch for your Reese Revolution as it moves the pivot point from over the axle 22" to the rear of the truck. The Reese Revolution is design for short bed trucks but will work with any truck bed length.
For the Reese Revolution you will need a wedge that fits the 5th wheel hitch you purchase. Does your Reese Revolution still have the universal wedge that was included with the Reese Revolution? If so, it will fit a variety of options. We recommend the B&W # BWRVK3300. A Reese options we recommend is the Reese M5 # RP30922.
If you do not have the wedge you can purchase the Reese Sidewinder wedge specific to the hitch you purchase. The Sidewinder wedges will work with the Revolution. The # RP74FR will work for B&W hitches and the # RP44FR will work for the Reese M-series hitches.
