For your 2015 Ford F-250 without the factory rail kit and a short bed we have just what you would need. Since you do have a short bed truck you are correct and you would need a slider hitch. My favorite to recommend is the Demco Hijacker part # DM8550022 which automatically slides as you make tight turns. This eliminates the hassle of having to get out and activate the slider.
For a rail kit you then would want the under bed kit part # DM8551000 which will fit the hitch and then when not in use will give you a totally empty truck bed.
