For your 2022 F-250 with the prep package you will want the B&W Companion OEM 5th Wheel Trailer Hitch w Slider item # BWRVK3370. This sliding hitch will drop down into your prep system pucks and allow you to completely remove it to have access to your entire bed when you are not towing. The Companion gives you 12" of travel front to back to help you with tight turns and backing up.

The B&W Companion weighs 262 lbs. If that's not something you're interested in moving by yourself and don't want to have to rely on someone to help you then I recommend purchasing the B&W 5th Wheel Lifting Device for Companion and Patriot Hitches item # BWRVXA3130. This heavy duty steel tool lets you lift your B&W 5th-wheel hitch from your truck bed with a hoist. The 5th-Wheel jaws clamp around the device for a secure grip.
