The Demco Hijacker Autoslide 5th Wheel Hitch w/ Slider # DM8550024 is designed to fit directly to the OEM prep package on a 2020 Ford F-250 Super Duty. If you don't have that but you like the idea of having it then you will also need the Reese Under-Bed Gooseneck Trailer Hitch w/ Custom Installation Kit # RP39FR which is the exact same thing as the OEM prep package.

If you're wanting to use the autoslider but you want to cut down the cost a little then what you'll need to do is install in-bed base rails, I recommend the B&W # BWRVK2402, and then use the Hijacker Autoslide # DM8550034 instead. The only disadvantage to this setup is that the rails will always be present so they could potentially be in the way when you need to haul cargo in your truck bed.

Regardless of which way you decide to go I also recommend installing an in-bed 7-Way like the Curt # C57008 so that it's easier to connect your 5th wheel wiring to your truck.
