• Best 5th Wheel Clearance For 2016 Ford F150 With 5.5 Bed, Also Weight
  My first choice for a 5th wheel hitch system, in a 5.5 foot pickup bed, where weight is a concern, would be the B&W # BWRVK3200 Fixed 5th Wheel hitch and # BW39FR Base rails, paired with a Reese # RP61422 5th Airborne Air Ride with Sidewinder. This assumes you have a number 1621 pin box bolt pattern. (If the four digit bolt pattern number is different let me know and I can pick one that will match with your pin box side wings.) The hitch base weighs 95 pounds and the top coupler section...

• What Type of Fifth Wheel Rails Does Demco Hijacker Premier Series Hitch Fit
  The Demco Hijacker Premier Series part # DM6076P-21K does require a set of industry standard fifth wheel rails installed in the bed of the truck.

• Auto-Slide Fifth Wheel Hitch Recommendation for 2002 Ford F250 Short Bed
  Yes, that does provide enough information. From a quick online search, it shows that your 2008 Keystone Cougar 276RLS is well under 18K, for this, I recommend the Demco Hijacker Autoslide 5th Wheel Trailer Hitch.

• Demco Hijacker Autoslide 5th Wheel Hitch for 2003 Ford F250 Short Bed
  We do indeed have an auto sliding 5th wheel hitch. The Demco Hijacker Autoslide is available in an 18K capacity as # DM8550022 or in a 21K capacity as part # DM8550037. Both hitches install using Demco's under-bed rail kit, part # DM8551000.

These hitches would use the # DM8552006-71 bracket/rail kit. If you'd like...

• How to Tow a 5th Wheel Trailer with a 2004 Ford F-350 with a 6-3/4 Foot Bed
  Yes, you can tow a fifth wheel trailer with your 2004 F-350 short bed.
