Question:
Hello, I was wondering about the Reese hidden hitch rails that install under the bed of the truck. I have a 2016 Ford f350 super duty short box. I am looking at this as it looks to free up a little more room in the bed and no rails left in the bed. Secondly are there other manufactures that make a similar product to this.

For the Reese fifth wheel rail kit designed to fit under the bed of your 2016 Ford F-350 short bed we have the part # RP30126 which is a confirmed fit. Since you have a short bed you would need the slider hitch part # RP30144 to give you the needed turning clearance.
For a different brand that also fits under the truck bed we have the Demco hitch and rail kits. What I really like about this option is that it gives you a slider hitch that automatically slides as you make tight turns. So for the rail kit you would want the part # DM8551000 and then the slider hitch part # DM8550037 for a 21k capacity hitch or part # DM8550022 for an 18k hitch.
I would go the Demco route if it was my truck. I really like the automatic sliding feature. I attached a review video that shows how it works in the bed of a truck.
