Expert Reply:
For a fifth wheel hitch you will need a slider hitch since your truck has a short bed and not a long bed. The slider hitch allows you turning clearance. Otherwise you'd hit the cab of the truck with the trailer. Most people swear by the Companion slider part # BWRVK3400 which is one of our best selling hitches. This hitch is generally referred to as the nicest hitch available so we recommend it quite a bit. I would need to know what year Ford F-250 you have though so that I could recommend a rail kit.
This hitch has a 20k capacity too.
