5000Lbs bumper hitch
The hitch must be greased if you don't plan to use a plastic slip-disk between the fifth wheel head and the king pin box.
The length of a car is measured from bumper to bumper. The wheel base is measured from the center of the front wheel to the center of a rear wheel on the same side of the vehicle.

Fifth wheel.
Bumper to bumper, 190.1"Wheel base, 113.6"
When properly equipped, a 2002 F250 7.3L powerstroke is tow rated up to 12,500 lbs, if you add a fifth wheel hitch it can tow 14,500 lbs. However I own a 2002 F250 7.3L Powerstroke with a 6 speed manual, 3.73 rear end, crew cab, short bed and I tow over 25,000 lbs from the bumper hitch 4+ times a week. I have even towed a 39,000 lb trailer from Utah to Mexico City (also from the bumper hitch).
A good place to shop for 5th wheel trailer hitch parts is eTrailer. They offer high quality hitches for every application and all the replacement parts and accessories that you need.
Because the front end carries a flat wheel shaped mounting, rather than a trailer hitch.
Remove the screws in the wheel wells and underneath the plastic cover to remove the bumper cover. Then you can see to remove the actual bumper.
