Expert Reply:
For a truck bed that short there's only one slider hitch that would provide you with enough turning clearance with the Demco Hijacker part # DM8550040 that can slide 22-1/2 inches. This can be used in longer bed trucks as well but the correct rail kit you would need for your 2022 Ford F-150 would be the part # DM8552028-71.
