Expert Reply:
This is basically just the way our fit guide is set up. We will always recommend a fixed hitch (non slider) like the Curt A20 # C16140 for trucks with an 8' bed. We recommend a sliding hitch like the Curt A20 slider # C55DR for the 6-3/4' bed like yours. The Ford puck system will be identical for long bed and short bed models. We just recommend the slider for short bed, and fixed hitch for long bed. We recommend sliders for short bed to gain additional clearance on tight turns. In many cases a slider is not actually needed for short bed trucks. It varies on a case to case basis and we will gladly leave that up to the customer discretion.
