Expert Reply:
The Demco Hijacker Autoslide 5th Wheel Hitch w/ Slider, # DM8550038 has a head that slides toward the tailgate when you turn and back toward the cab when you straighten out, it uses rack-and-pinion gears. It is the rotation of the king pin that creates the force that propels the automatic slider.
The Demco Hijacker, # DM8550038 is a confirmed fit for your 2020 Ford F-250 Super Duty.
