I seem to remember reading in Ford's towing information that 5th wheel hitches were not recommended for the 5.5 bed. I towed a 7600# 5er with a 2010 F150 with the 6.5 bed and slider. Still managed to really mash up the rear pillar during a sharp turn. As posted earlier, I'd go for the 6.5 bed at least. BTW, you'd probably find a 6.2 F250 at a better price! That's the route I took.
