What you have on your 2011 Ford F-250 is the factory 5th wheel prep package and there are a large number of hitches which will fit directly in those pucks. The options will depend on if you have a short bed, for which you need a sliding hitch, or a long bed, for which you will use a fixed hitch.

I have added links to our entire selection of sliding and fixed 5th wheel hitches that fit the prep package on your '11 Ford F-250, but the option I like the best and strongly recommend is the Curt A16 because of its reliability and ease of use.

For a short bed the correct part is the Curt A16 5th Wheel Trailer Hitch w/ Slider for Ford Towing Prep Package # C16520-16020 and for a long bed it is the Curt A16 5th Wheel Trailer Hitch with Ford OEM Legs # C16520-16017.

The A16 will give you a highly secure connection with your trailer's king pin because of its interlocking dual jaw system that wraps totally around your king pin. It also has a handy indicator system which will let you know if the jaws on the hitch are ready to couple, uncouple or tow. This color-coded system makes the process of hooking up or disconnecting your trailer much simpler.

The Curt A20 has a fully articulating head which also eases the coupling process and built in zerk fittings so you can lube the hitch without issue. The A16 has a 16,000 lb towing capacity and comes with a lifetime warranty.

I've added links to video reviews for you to check out as well.
