Hey Dave. The Curt Double Lock, Flip and Store Underbed Gooseneck Hitch w/ Installation Kit item # C60721 is going to be our only Curt option for your 2014 Ford F-150. It fits both 6-1/2' and 8' bed lengths and installs with custom fit brackets. The gooseneck ball can be flipped upside down and stored inside the gooseneck receiver.
To install the Curt item # C60721 you'll drill a single 4" hole 35" back from the cab of your truck and four 1/2" safety chain holes. There's no margin for error. You'll need to use the center section of the gooseneck hitch to mark below where you need to drill. I have linked the installation instructions below, along with a video we made, so you can see what's necessary.
If you need to find a local installer, you can go to the product page of the Curt item # C60721 and scroll down below the pics on the left side you'll see a box that says, SCHEDULE AN INSTALLATION. Go ahead and click on it and it will take you to a page where you'll be able to enter your zip code. Once you do this you'll be connected to our network of reputable installers in your area.
To make towing with a gooseneck trailer easier, I recommend adding the Curt 5th Wheel/Gooseneck Custom Wiring Harness item # C56070. This harness puts a 7-way connector in the bed of your truck and allows you to keep the one on your bumper. This makes hooking up to your trailer easier and more convenient.
