Hi Alex!
We can definitely get your 2025 Ford F250 6-3/4 bed set up for towing a 5th wheel. I have everything you will need listed below:
Curt Custom Fifth Wheel Bracket Kit for Ford # C87VV
Curt Universal Fifth Wheel Base Rails - Carbide Black Finish # C16204
Curt A20 5th Wheel Trailer Hitch w/ S20 Slider - Dual Jaw - 20,000 lbs # C55DR
We do have a 16k slider, but it's basically the same price as the 20k. Being a little over rated with something like this is never a bad thing. The only thing you might consider adding on is the Curt 5th Wheel/Gooseneck Custom Wiring Harness w/ 7-Pole Connector for Aluminum Beds - 10' Long # C57010. This puts a 7-way in your bed (if you don't already have one) so you don't need to drape the wiring from the 5th wheel over your tailgate, which can damage it and/or come unplugged during tight turns.
Got an upcoming trip planned for the new 5th wheel and truck?
