For the 2019 Ford F-150 5-1/2 foot bed we have the Reese custom fifth wheel rail kit part # RP50087-58 that has been listed as a fit and would work great.

Then for a hitch that would have enough sliding clearance for your very short bed you'd want the part # DM8550040 which slides 22-1/2 inches.

The Patriot Slider part #BWRVK3270 might be a bit more noisy than the Companion slider part #BWRVK3400 due to the increased number of mounting points, 4 at the corners vs. 1 in the center. Probably not that noticeable and certainly not something…
