Question:
Team Can yall recommend a fifth wheel hitch for me? I have a 2005 F250 with the 6 3/4 bed. The fifth wheel is a 2006 Keystone Laredo 25RK. Thank you.

So normally for a short bed truck like your 2005 Ford F-250 6-3/4 foot bed I would recommend a slider hitch but your short bed is actually on the longer side and I looked up your 2006 Keystone Laredo 25RK and found that it has an extended pin box and a tapered nose so you could use a fixed hitch and not have to mess with hassle of a slider.
So what I would recommend is the B and W Companion hitch part # BWRVK3500 with the custom install rail kit part # BWGNRK1108 as this is widely considered to be the nicest hitch setup on the market due to quality, ease of use/install, and quietness due to tight jaw design, but also because when not in use you have a totally clean bed without the larger rails and the rail system doubles as a gooseneck hitch.
