If sounds like you have the OEM Prep Package on your 2014 Ford F-350 Super Duty. With this being the case I have a few different 5th wheel hitch recommendations depending on if you have a long bed or short bed.
For a long bed I recommend the B&W Companion which comes in both 20K # BWRVK3300 and 25K # BWRVK3305 weight capacities. I really like the Companion because it uses 1" thick jaws to secure the king pin and the head is easily removed to help make loading and unloading it much easier.
If you have a short bed then I recommend using the Demco Hijacker Autoslide instead which comes in both 18K # DM8550024 and 21K # DM8550038 weight capacities. The reason I recommend this over the other sliding options is because you don't have to get out of your truck to lock/unlock the hitch for making tight turns. This hitch automatically slides for those turns which saves you time, energy, and frustration. Please note that if you have a special king pin on your 5th wheel trailer you may need a locking plate to use the Hijacker. Let me know if your king pin is non-standard and I can help you determine if you need it or not.
