Expert Reply:
Hey Patrick, so I have a solution for you but the B and W Companion hitches can't be used with your 2023 Ford F-150 short bed as the bed is just too short to have enough turning clearance.
The hitch you would want is the Demco Hijacker Autoslider part # DM8550040 which is only option that slides back far enough to have turning clearance to make tight turns.
To install this in the bed of your truck will requier the fifth wheel rail kit part # DM8552028-71.
