Question:
I just bought a Ford F150, 5.5foot bed, with max tow package. I think its max tow capacity is 10K lbs. I want to buy a 5th wheel, as big as I possibly can. Thinking Grand Design 295RL. Which autoslide? hitch do I need to put in the bed? Thanks.

Helpful Expert Reply:
The highest capacity autoslide hitch that can be used in your 2019 Ford F-150 5-1/2 foot bed is the Demco Hijacker Autoslide part # DM8550040 which has a 13k capacity and can slide back 22-1/2 inches for turning clearance. Due to how short your truck bed is you need the larger slide this hitch provides compared to other hitches which only slide about half that. Then to install this hitch in the bed of your truck you'd want the custom fit rail kit part # DM8552028-71 and you'd be set.
