Towing 1/2 ton fifth wheel

I'm looking for information on towing a 1/2 ton fifth wheel with the new f250 Ford Trucks. I know the bed rails are at about 60". Is there enough clearance for the fifth wheel?

What model fifth wheel are you looking at? 1/2 ton towable is more about the weight of the trailer and not so much the height of the pin.

Some hitches and most pin boxes are adjustable so a comfortable clearance can be achieved.

Cougar half tons, Jayco half tons. I have a 2014 Cougar 320 QBS now. Ground to underside of the overhang is about 65". The half tons measure about 60"-62". I tow with a 2015 GMC 2500 now. But my next truck will be a F250. I'd like to go with a half ton fifth wheel next but I want to make sure it will work on the F250's. They are higher.
