If you're wanting the hitch mounting system to attach under the truck bed so that the bed is completely clear once the hitch is removed, you'll want to use the B&W Companion sliding hitch, part # BWRVK3400-5W. The hitch installs into the B&W Turnover Ball gooseneck hitch, part # BWGNRK1320-5W.
If you were wanting to use an above bed rail mounted hitch like the Reese # RP30051 you'd looked at, you'd need a bracket/rail kit like # RP30035-522.
If you'd like to install a 7-way trailer connector in the truck bed, you can do so using part # C56000.
I've linked to some install/demonstration videos you might find helpful.
