Assuming your truck doesn't have the factory tow/prep kit with the pucks in the bed, I'd recommend the B&W Turnover Ball Gooseneck Hitch, part # BWGNRK1116 which is compatible with a short bed truck. The gooseneck ball is included, and the hitch also serves as a mounting point for the B&W Companion 5th wheel hitch, part # BWRVK3400-5W should you decide later on that you'd like to pull a 5th wheel.
If you'd like to install a 7-way trailer connector/wiring harness in the truck bed so you don't have to run the trailer connector up over the tailgate, you can install one using part # C57008.
I've linked to install videos for the Turnover Ball hitch and the trailer connector/wiring harness. I've also linked to a product video for the Companion 5th wheel hitch I mentioned above.
