Fifth Wheel Hitch Recommendation for 2011 Ford F-150 with 5-1/2 foot Bed
Question:
Good Morning, I am looking at installing a 5th wheel hitch system in my truck just looking for a rail system as the trailers are light weight 3,000 lb trailers. what system would best fit a 2011 ford f150 with a 5 and a half foot box. And what would I use to push the trailer back so it is not so close to the cab? Thank you for your time and support.

We have one slider hitch that can slide back far enough to give you the needed clearance to make tight turns with your 2011 Ford F-150. For that we have the Demco Hijacker part # DM8550041 which will automatically slide 22-1/2 inches back when making tight turns.
To install the hitch you'd need the rail kit part # DM8551001 which is custom fit for your truck as well.
