I'm looking for a new hitch for my 2022 Ford F-250. It has the factory hitch package with a 6-1/2' bed. I will be getting a 5th wheel and I want the best hitch for towing.

I recommend using the Demco Hijacker Autoslide 5th Wheel Hitch # DM8550038 for your 2022 Ford F-250 Super Duty with the factory prep/puck system and the short bed. This autosliding hitch will work with no adapters required on most campers that use a standard 12" to 14" wide pin box.

For some cushioned pin boxes you will need the corresponding adapter plate for that pin box. Here is a list of the most common pin boxes that require an adapter.

Demco Hijacker Autoslide Capture Plates for Trailair Rota-Flex Pin Boxes # DM6171
Demco Hijacker Autoslide Locking Plate for MOR/ryde Pin Boxes # DM6025
Demco Hijacker Autoslide Locking Plate for Trailair Tri-Glide Pin Boxes # DM6095
Demco Hijacker Autoslide Locking Plate for Extended 5th Airborne Pin Boxes # DM6062
Demco Hijacker Autoslide Locking Plate for Demco Glide Ride Pin Boxes # DM6036
Demco Hijacker Autoslide Locking Plate for Standard 5th Airborne Pin Boxes # DM6026

If you are unsure if you need an adapter plate, let me know what camper/pin box you will be looking at and I can help you with the correct adapter plate if one is required.

You will have to go with a sliding hitch to allow the trailer to make tight turns. For a trailer 8 feet wide the only bed length that's going to allow 90 degree turns without a slider is a stationary hitch. That being said you have two options.…

Hey Dennis, so the Hellwig Contact Helper Spring part #HE89FR would not interfere with the install of an air bag kit at all.
