For your 2002 Ford F-250 XLT long bed I recommend Reese Quick-Install Custom Base Rails and Installation Kit for 5th Wheel Trailer Hitches Item # RP50082-58. This is a true custom kit meaning there is no drilling required to install the frame brackets from the kit. The less drilling the easier the installation and the less time it takes to install. I have linked a video showing an example installation for you.
If you do not already have a hitch I recommend Curt A20 5th Wheel Trailer Hitch # C16140. This hitch features a cushioned head for improved ride quality. I have linked a video review of this hitch for you.
