Question:
I just got my new 2022 Ford F-350 and I need a 5th wheel hitch. It has the shorter 6-1/2' bed but came with the factory in bed hitch system. What hitch works best with these mounts?

Expert Reply:
The Demco Hijacker Autoslide 5th Wheel Hitch # DM8550038 is the best sliding 5th wheel hitch that will fit into your factory prep/puck system on your 2022 Ford F-350. As an auto-sliding hitch you will no longer need to get out and unlock your hitch to move it from maneuvering to towing positions when you need to make tight turns. The hitch will move itself back up to 14" when you turn to ensure you do not damage your truck and 5th wheel trailer.
There are some non standard pin boxes that will require an adapter but you will be able to tow most 5th wheel trailers with a standard 12-14" wide pin box without an adapter.
