With a 6-1/2 ft bed in your 2014 F-150 I recommend a slider like the Reese, part # RP30051, if you have standard above bed railer installed. The dual jaw system gives you more jaw-to-king-pin contact than most other dual jaw systems. This has a 16,000-lb towing capacity and features 10-inches front to rear travel to help when you are executing turns.

The Husky fifth wheel hitch I recommend is the Husky Silver Series, part # HT31326-32042. This features aa single jaw design wraps around the king pin to provide less chucking and rattling. This hitch has a composite slider that reduces noise and wear. This slider gives you 10-inches of front to back travel and has a 16,000-lb capacity.

If you do not have a 7-way trailer connector in yoru truick bed I recommend part # 41157.

In my opinion I recommend the Titan hitch. With the operation of the round tube slider and the additional inch of clearance, I think it provides a few more features for the small difference in price.
