The B&W Companion OEM 5th Wheel Trailer Hitch w Slider for Ford Towing Prep Package - Dual Jaw - 20K
Item # BWRVK3370 is a confirmed fit for your 2019 Ford F-350 Super Duty with a 6-3/4' bed and OEM Prep Pkg.

This fifth-wheel trailer hitch is not compatible with Sidewinder or Revolution king pins. Do not use any device that changes the pivot point of your trailer's king pin with this hitch.

It comes with a 20,000lb GTW and an extra 500lb vertical load limit over the Patriot so you'll be able to upgrade to a heavier trailer without having to buy a new hitch if you decide to do so down the road. It has a longer slider than the Patriot which will help eliminate clearance problems during sharp turns.

The B&W Patriot 5th Wheel Trailer Hitch w/ Slider - Dual Jaw - 18,000 lbs Item # BWRVK3270 is not a confirmed fit for your vehicle so you'd also have to install a compatible above bed rail system to install this hitch or use the Adapter Rails for Curt 5th Wheel Hitch - Ford and Chevy/GMC Towing Prep Package # C88KR.
