Shortbed.......depending on which 5th wheel you may need a 'slider' hitch
Always buy a hitch that is rated higher than the GVWR of trailer
(14K GVWR trailer=====16K rated hitch)
Will you be leaving hitch in bed ALL the time or will be wanting to remove it until towing?
Anderson has light weight hitch that is easy to remove
B&W has a removal hitch..heavier/more initial installation
I have a standard hitch with 4 way pivot head .....pull four pins and it is free of rails.
Pulled many 5th wheels with just a standard rail hitch.
