The B&W Companion OEM 5th Wheel Trailer Hitch w/ Slider # BWRVK3370 for your 2019 Ford F-250 has a total weight of about 265 pounds. Keep in mind though that the head on this particular hitch is really easy to remove so that you can lift the hitch out of your truck in a couple of pieces. The head by itself weighs 73 pounds and the base weighs 192 pounds.

With a 6-3/4 foot bed you will indeed need a sliding hitch like this one (unless your trailer is equipped with a rotating pin box) in order to make sharp turns without fear of the trailer hitting your cab. This particular hitch features 12 inches of front to back travel with the slider. It has a towing weight capacity of 20,000 pounds.

I have attached a short video demonstration on this hitch that you can check out as well.
