Fifth Wheel Hitch Recommendations for a 2007 Ford F-350
Question:
I have a 2007 F350 we just got with bed rails already installed in the truck. The square opening slots are about 22 inches center to center, front to back and 21-1/2 inches center to center side to side. What type of sliding hitch can I install that I dont have to change the brackets?

Expert Reply:
If the measurements you have given me are accurate, you have industry standard fifth wheel rails installed in your truck bed, which means you have many available options for a sliding fifth wheel hitch.
If you click the provided link, you can see the available options.
I really like the Demco Hijacker Auto Slide, part # DM8550034 for an 18K capacity or # DM8550035 for a 21K capacity. The hitch automatically slides rearward as you're making turns to allow more clearance between the trailer and the truck cab, which is quite a convenience.
For a manually activated slider, Reese offers some good options in 16K capacity as part # RP30051 or 20K as part # PS30121.
Any of the hitches I mentioned are compatible with industry standard bed rails.
