Question:
Can it be installed with bed liner.

Expert Reply:
The industry standard rails included with the Curt E16 5th Wheel Trailer Hitch w/ Rails and Universal Installation Kit # C16116 can be installed on 2000 Ford F-250/350 with a bed liner.
If the bed liner is a spray in there is nothing different when it comes to the install, but if you have a plastic bed liner you will need to trim it in the area where the rails sit so that they are touching metal.
In addition to a 5th wheel hitch you may also be interested in the 5th wheel wiring harness # C56070 which plugs in in-line of your current 7-way connector and adds one to the bed of your truck so that you can hook up your trailer.
I included videos of the products mentioned for you to take a look at.
