Difference Between Curt A25 16046 and Curt Q25 16049 Fifth Wheel HItch for Ram Truck Prep Package
Good question and there are a couple of important differences between the Curt A25 5th Wheel Trailer Hitch for Ram Towing Prep Package # C16046 and Curt Q25 5th Wheel Trailer Hitch for Ram Towing Prep Package # C16049. The first difference is the jaw system, as you can see in the accompanying photo I made which shows them side-by-side.

Best Autoslide Hitch For 2020 GMC Sierra 2500 With Factory Puck System

Recommended B&W 5th Wheel Hitch for 2019 Ford F-250 4WD with 6-3/4 Foot Bed
Since your Ford F-250 is a 6-3/4-foot short bed and your Grand Design Reflection 29RS 5th wheel does not have a tapered nose for increased turning clearance you will need a slider hitch to be able to safely make tight turns, or you can install a Sidewinder pivoting pin box and still use a fixed (non-sliding hitch). You need to be able to make close to 90-degree turns to enable safe maneuvering at campgrounds. For a B&W option we have the 18K Patriot Slider hitch # BWRVK3270 which installs...

Can Stationary 5th Wheel Hitch be Used for a 2020 Chevy Silverado 2500 with 6-3/4 Bed
We tend to stick with the safe side of things and just recommend using a sliding 5th wheel hitch if you don't have an 8' bed, but we have heard and seen people 5th wheel tow just fine using a non-sliding hitch on a 6-3/4' bed. We've actually had someone install the standard B&W Companion (available in 20K # BWRVK3710 or 25K # BWRVK3715) on their 2020 Silverado 3500 with the 6-3/4' bed and he said that he was super close to getting his trailer at a 90 degree angle.

We still recommend the use of a slider in all standard/short bed trucks. That being said, the new GM trucks like your 2022 GMC Sierra 2500 do have a slightly longer bed than the typical standard bed.

B&W Patriot 5th Wheel Hitch Recommendation for 2020 GMC Sierra 2500 Long Bed
The B&W Patriot 5th wheel trailer hitch that is the best option for your 2020 GMC Sierra 2500HD is going to depend on the weight of your trailer because both the 16,000 lb capacity B&W Patriot # BWRVK3200 and 18,000 lb capacity B&W Patriot # BWRVK3255 will work. And according to my research, your '20 Sierra is capable of towing up to that capacity depending on its configuration. Personally, I like a little bit of a safety margin, so for a trailer that has a GVWR up to about 14,500 lbs...

Choosing OEM or Aftermarket 5th Wheel Puck System for 2021 Ford F-250
Having the puck system is a great feature. If you ever plan on loading the bed with mulch, sand or rock you'll quickly find that having rails permanently bolted to the bed floor is a real pain. Not only that, but the pucks look a lot better. I'm not certain what Ford charges for the puck system, but we do offer an aftermarket option to provide the puck system. The Reese Under-Bed Rail and Installation Kit, part # RP87FR would provide the 5th wheel pucks as well as a gooseneck hitch....

Which is Better Fifth Wheel Hitch for 2020 Ram 2500 Rail Kit A16 or E16
For the OEM rail kit of your 2020 Ram 2500 long bed you are going to have a much nicer towing experience with the Curt A16 fifth wheel hitch part # C16520-16021 over the E16 # C16515-16021 because of the much nicer jaw design of the A-Series hitch.

Recommended B&W Companion 5th Wheel Hitch-2020 Ford F250 w/ Tow Prep Package
The exact hitch needed can depend on the weight of your fifth wheel and the length of your truck bed.

A long bed truck would use a stationary hitch like # BWRVK3300. The stationary hitch is also available in a 25K capacity model as # BWRVK3305. For a trailer...

Curt A16 vs B&W Companion for 2020 F-250 Towing Trailer with Lippert Turning Point Pin Box
Since you have a Lippert Turning Point pin box on your Reflection 5th wheel you can safely use a stationary 5th wheel hitch.

Differences Between Curt A25 C16180 and Q25 C16265 5th Wheel Hitches
