Expert Reply:
I have a solution for you, but the Curt E16 5th Wheel Trailer Hitch w/ Slider for Ford Towing Prep Package - Slide Bar Jaw - 16,000 lbs # C16515-16020 is designed to fit in Ford trucks with the OEM prep package, which was not available on the 2009 Ford F-350. Additionally, if you've got an 8 foot truck, you likely won't need a sliding hitch.
With that said, you could use the Curt A16 # C16120 and installation rail kit # C16448-204 for your 2009 Ford F-350. If you do need a sliding hitch for your long bed truck you can use the Curt E16 Slider Hitch part # 16516 paired with the same # C16448-204 rail kit. Both of these solutions will provide you with a quality, reliable Curt hitch at a good price.
I've linked some review videos of these parts for you to have a look at. If you have some sort of aftermarket puck kit installed on your truck and can let me know what type I can look to see if there is an alternate solution for you.
