Helpful Expert Reply:

The rail kit you need on your 2019 Ford F-150 is the B&W Custom Installation Kit w/ Base Rails for 5th Wheel Trailer Hitches, part # BW39FR. Once you have the rail system installed you can use the Demco Hijacker Autoslide 5th Wheel Trailer Hitch w/ Slider - Single Jaw - Above Bed - 13,000 lbs, part # DM8550040.

I spoke with a representative from B&W and he told me the brackets on the Universal Base Rails. Part # BWRVR3200, you have installed on your truck, are not designed to fit. As a result, he says you should not install a 5th wheel hitch to those rails. Since the brackets that are installed on your truck are not designed for your truck, you cannot trust they will be able to withstand the forces of an Autoslide 5th wheel hitch.

I have included a product description link and video demo links below.
