Expert Reply:
To tow a fifth wheel trailer with your 2022 Ford F-250 you will need a slider hitch to allow for tight turns without cab/trailer clearance interference and a rail kit to mount the hitch in the bed of your truck.
For a hitch the Curt A20 part # C16541 is a great option that has a smoother operating slider, a 20k capacity, and a tight jaw design that helps prevent "chucking". For a rail kit the Curt part # C79BR is a great option as it's a custom fit kit which means no frame drilling like the universal kits require.
