Hello. I do recommend using a sliding 5th wheel hitch since your 2019 Ford F250 has the short bed. I recommend the B&W Patriot 5th Wheel Trailer Hitch # BW25QR. This is a complete kit so you get your Patriot 5th wheel hitch, above bed rails and installation kit. The slider will help you gain clearance on tight turns or when backing up. The Patriot hitch is extremely solid. The slider and jaw mechanisms are very smooth and easy to operate. The hitch itself is rated for 18,000 lbs so it can handle larger 5th wheels. You will find our video review for this hitch linked below.
