You don't need a hitch at all if you aren't towing anything.
If you think you might be towing something, but not sure what, you probably should get the slider. If you already know what you will be towing, it would depend on the length of the pin box and the configuration of the front end of the 5er. Most lighter weight 5ers have extended pin boxes and newer 5ers have tapered or rounded noses to avoid conflict with the cab. IF you have the hitch prep on that new Ford, AND you don't need the slider, the Ford version Reese puck system hitch is a nice hitch.
