Recommended Fifth Wheel Hitch for 2016 Ford F-350 Super Duty With Short Bed

Question:

The bed also has a spray-on bed liner and Id like to know if this will cause any problems when installing the Demco Hijacker Model # DM8550024? Thanks

There are is an outstanding fifth wheel hitch for your 2016 Ford F-350 Super Duty that I recommend, the Demco Hijacker Autoslide # DM8550024.

The Demco Hijacker # DM8550024 has a gross towing weight of 18,000 lbs and vertical load limit of 4,500 lbs, but with 14 inches of slider travel. The jaw is a single piece with a wraparound connection with a locking bar in front for added security, though the biggest benefit to using the Hijacker isn't the jaw, it's the autoslide system. While other sliding hitches make you get out of your truck and manually engage the slide, the Hijacker takes that out of the equation by sliding on it's own when there is rotation.
