Expert Reply:
For short bed trucks like your 2019 Ford F-250 with the OEM rail kit typically a slider hitch is needed to make sharp turns like the # C16520-16020 unless the trailer has a tapered nose designed for short bed turning clearance which is common on newer trailers.
For a fixed version of this we have the # C16520-16017.
