Here is my setup with the Ford under bed mount and a Trailer Saver BD3 with Hensley's adapter that goes between the two. The adapter essentially gives you a set of standard rails on top to mount any hitch -- but is removable with the hitch. I leave my hitch attached to the adapter and pull the entire thing out of the bed with an engine hoist and put in some small scraps of BedRug material in the rectangular holes that were needed to mount the adapter. When they're in, you can't tell there was ever a hitch in the bed. Just takes a few minutes to pull it out. The bed and hitch are always covered by a tonneau except when I'm towing.
I don't use the pickup bed for much other than pulling the fiver. If I have to haul away yard debris and such, I use a landscaping trailer as it saves the bed and the paint. :) I'm the guy that parks out the extra mile so I can get my nice big end spot and never suffer from door dings. Just the way I roll, but everyone's different and treats their stuff differently.

that is the best hitch money can buy.
