Hello and thank you for taking the time to read this.

I am buying a 2008 Ford F250 Turbo Diesel Crew Cab w/ shortbed and a 2019 Volante 270BH 5th wheel RV.

I am trying to find what my best options are for a 5th wheel hitch. It was recommended that I get a 'slider'. But for the life of me I cannot figure out what to get.

The bed of the truck already has the holes in it for the 5th wheel hitch. I am not sure if this is a factory installed item or aftermarket.

The dealership was trying to recommend that I get a $2800 hitch. When I look online I am finding them to be much cheaper than what they suggested. So, I need to try and find the hitch on my own.

Is there a universal type slider hitch that I can get for this scenario?

Please and help, direction or constructive criticism is greatly appreciated.

Thanks for reading!
