You may want to consider a hitch with air-ride or a pin box like Trail Air.... with that size of 5th wheel .

It will make your trip more comfortable and reduce stress on the rig and truck.

Good luck

I am assuming you have a dually? I have a 2017 F-350 dually with the factory mount pucks and a Reese Ford version 27,500 pound hitch capacity. Great combination.

X2. Great combination. 15,000 miles without a hitch (pun intended) on a 21,000 toy hauler.
