Recommended Solution for Clean Truck Bed When Not Towing 5th Wheel on 2020 Ford F-250
Question:
I have a 2020 F250 4X4, and want to know if the Anderson AM3200 system will work with the Reese RP30126 Under-bed rail system. I am trying to avoid having to leave any rails inside the bed when not hauling a travel trailer

I have a solution for you, but the Andersen Ultimate # AM3200 is not compatible with a Reese # RP30126; the Reese system is not a fit for a 2020 Ford F-250 and the Andersen Ultimate requires standard base rails so it doesn't sound like this would be the best combination for you.
If your goal is to have a truck bed that is clear from any impediments while you're not towing your trailer I recommend using the B&W Turnoverball system # BWGNRK1116-5W and the B&W Companion 5th Wheel Hitch # BWRVK3500-5W. The Turnoverball system provides you with a gooseneck hitch that accepts the Companion hitch and will give you a nice, clean truck bed when you're not towing; the gooseneck ball can also be stored upside down, so you don't have to worry about losing it when it's not being used. If you've got a short bed F-250 then you'll want to use the # BWRVK3400-5W instead of the # BWRVK3500-5W, since it's a sliding hitch and will provide you the necessary clearance to make sure your trailer doesn't contact the truck cab during tight turns.
I've linked a review and installation video of this system for you to check out, but this would be the best solution for the clean truck bed you're seeking and also gives you a really durable and reliable 5th wheel hitch to match.
