You are absolutely correct that the Demco Hijacker Autoslide 5th Wheel Hitch # DM8550024 in your 2019 Ford F-250 will need a lube plate that is a max of 3/16". For that I recommend the Curt Lube Plate # 16721 which is 3/16" thick.

Hey David, from previous customers of ours who have the same 2020 Keystone Raptor 424 we have determined that your pin box style is the Lippert 1621 which means for a Gen-Y gooseneck adapter you'd want the #GY58GR that you referenced.
