The best fifth wheel hitch option for a 2018 Ford F-250 is the B&W Companion 5th Wheel Trailer Hitch without doubt. It has dual locking jaws which form a tight grip on the kingpin that makes for a really smooth ride. It has a cam-action handle so you can uncouple on uneven terrain effortlessly. It has an easy to remove head to save your back when taking it in and out of the bed. It is also made in the USA and has one of the strongest backings of any hitch on the market.
The correct one will be dependent on bed size and whether or not you have the in-bed prep package I have attached the options below.
Short Bed No Prep: part # BWGNRK1116-5W and part # BWRVK3400-5W
Short Bed Prep: part # BWRVK3370
Long Bed No Prep: part # BWGNRK1116-5W and part # BWRVK3500-5W
Long Bed Prep: part # BWRVK3300
