Recommended Sliding 5th Wheel Hitch for 2020 Ford F-250 with Factory Puck Kit

Question:

Hi. I have a new 2020 Ford F-250. It has the factory tow pucks in the bed and the short bed. 6-3/4 foot bed. Can you recommend a slider hitch for it? Thank you for your expertise !

We actually have a large selection of sliding 5th wheel hitches that are designed to mount directly to those factory pucks in the bed of your 2020 Ford F-250, but I specifically recommend the Demco 21K Hijacker # DM8550038 for a number of reasons.

The first feature on this particular hitch that you will notice (and be thankful for) right away is its automatic slider. Unlike with most other sliding 5th wheel hitches, this unit is going to automatically slide back towards the tailgate when making sharp turns, letting you stay inside the comfort of your cab instead of parking, getting out, and manually operating the sliding mechanism to ensure cab clearance. This is just going to make your overall towing experience much more enjoyable.

Another aspect that separates the Demco 5th wheel hitches is their robust jaw design. The Hijacker sports a wraparound, single-piece jaw that will completely surround the trailer's king pin. This design, along with the additional 3/4" thick solid steel locking bar, creates an incredibly secure connection with the trailer while also reducing movement and noise, providing you with a smooth and quiet ride during travel.

The Hijacker features a 21,000 pound towing weight capacity and also comes with a 5-year limited warranty. I have attached a short video review below that you can also check out.
