Yes, the Curt E16 5th Wheel Trailer Hitch w/ Rails and Universal Installation Kit part # C16116 will fit your 2012 Ford F-150 but you will need drill into the frame in order to mount the rails. In order to use the Curt E16 5th Wheel Trailer Hitch part # C16115 without drilling into the frame you can use the Curt Custom Fifth Wheel Installation Kit for Ford F150 part # C16441-204 instead.

Please note, we recommend using a sliding 5th wheel hitch, the Curt E16 5th Wheel Trailer Hitch part # 16516 on a truck with a 6-1/2' bed due to cab clearance issues during 90 degree turns but some truck/trailer combos do still allow for 90 degree turns with a 6-1/2' bed using a fixed hitch.
