The Demco Hijacker Autoslide, # DM8550024 is a 5th wheel hitch with slider that is rated at 18K and confirmed fit for your 2016 Ford F-350 Super Duty with 6-3/4 foot bed and the OEM prep package. To use this with a MORyde RPB you will need the Demco Hijacker Autoslide Locking Plate for MOR/ryde Pin Boxes, # DM6025. Bolting this locking plate into the MOR/ryde pin box is done to prevent the king pin from rotating inside fifth-wheel trailer hitch. Hardware included. The particular features of the Demco Hijacker Autoslide, # DM8550024 are was provides cause for the locking plate. For the Demco Hijacker Autoslide to work properly, the pin box must be kept from moving independently of the hitch head, if the head of the hitch does not lock to the king pin the slider mechanism will not activate.

The Demco hitch is a great option, there are lot's of satisfied RV owners' that have used this hitch for a number of years. If you are okay with not having the auto slide feature and pulling a locking lever when the slide feature is needed, I suggest the B&W Companion OEM 5th Wheel Trailer Hitch w Slider for Ford Towing Prep Package, # BWRVK3370. I like the 1" thick jaws on the Companion. These are precision machined to provide a tight, sturdy connection and securely wrap around your trailer's king pin. The cam-action latching handle helps prevent binding, is simple to release, even on unlevel terrain. The B&W is noted as having a superior powder coating and is made in USA with materials sourced from the USA too.
