Recommended Sliding 5th Wheel Hitch for 2016 Ford F-150 5.5' Bed
Question:
I have a 2016 Ford F-150 XLT 5 Ltd super crew cab It has a 5.5 foot box Do you sell a slider fifth wheel that will allow my fifth wheel to slide back far enough to not hit the back of the cab when turning.

Helpful Expert Reply:
The only sliding fifth wheel hitch that will have enough travel to clear the cab while turning with a 5-1/2' bed is the Demco Hijacker Autoslide 5th Wheel Trailer Hitch part # DM8550040. The Demco Hijacker is unique in that the sliding feature is automatic which means you won't need to get in and out of the truck each time to engage the slider.
In order to use the Demco Hijacker on a 2016 Ford F-150 you'll need the Demco Hijacker Premier Series Above-Bed Base Rails and Custom Installation Kit part # DM8552028-71. I also recommend the Bargman 5th Wheel/Gooseneck 90-Degree Wiring Harness part # 50-97-410-010.
