Hey Carrey,
We can get you a great 5th wheel hitch for your 2023 Ford F-250 Super Duty with the standard/short 6'8" bed. Since you have a short bed a sliding hitch is what you'll need, and my favorite option that fits your standard bed rails is from Curt:
- Curt A20 5th Wheel Trailer Hitch w/ S20 Slider # C55DR
I really like the A20 # C55DR because it gives you a steadier, more fluid ride than other 5th wheel hitches, and is among the easiest 5th wheel hitches to use. It uses an interlocking dual jaw system that encompasses the king pin for a vice-like grip. That full contact really lessens the back-and-forth jarring that you get when towing with lesser hitches.
It also utilizes a simple color-coded indicator system, which is visible from your truck and lets you know if the jaws on the hitch are ready to couple, uncouple or tow.
