Slider Fifth Wheel Hitch Recommendation for 2016 F150 with 5-1/2 foot Bed
Question:
What would you suggest for me so I can pull a 8100 pound 5th wheel. I think the Demco 13K will fit the bill. Also what other parts will I need for the install.?

Helpful Expert Reply:
For your 2016 Ford F-150 with a 5-1/2 foot bed the only sliding hitch solution we are going to have is the Demco Hijacker Auto Slide part # DM8550040 as it is the only one capable of sliding far enough to allow your truck turning clearance. It can slide 22-1/2 inches.
For a rail kit you will want to go with the Reese custom fit rail kit part # RP56034-53 as it is a fit for your truck and is compatible with the Demco hitch. At this time Demco doesn't offer a rail kit for your vehicle but this one will work just fine.
