You will have to cut out a portion of the bed liner of your 2001 Ford F-250 in order to install the Curt Double Lock, Flip and Store Gooseneck Hitch with Installation Kit # C60720. This hitch is confirmed to fit your 2001 Ford Super Duty.

If you are careful with how you cut the bedliner you can use the portion you remove as a plug to cover up the removed section when the ball is down.

Check out the installation instructions for this product that I attached also.
