Helpful Expert Reply:

Yes, the Curt Custom Fifth Wheel Installation Kit # C93WR will fit the 5-1/2' bed on your 2022 Ford F-150 and you can use the Universal Wiring # C57008 for an easier time connecting your wiring.

When it comes to a 5th wheel hitch we need to look at a stationary one though because you won't have enough clearance for a standard sliding 5th wheel hitch - you need to use a stationary hitch with a replacement pin box that has a rotating turret so you trailer doesn't make contact with your truck cab.

For a stationary hitch I recommend checking out the Reese M5 # RP30928 and Wedge Kit # RP44FR because it's easy to use and comes with a single wraparound jaw that gives you a great connection to your king pin. The wedge helps to secure the king pin of the pin box better than the universal wedge that comes with the Sidewinder.

If you don't already have a pin box with a rotating turret let me know what your pin box model number is (like Lippert 1621) and I can let you know what replacement pin box fits your application.
