I installed a Superglide 18K hitch in a 2008 F-250 short bed. The installation was actually fairly easy to do. You just need to be prepared to take your time, and measure everything more than once. Taking a hole saw to the bed of my brand new truck was the worst part. But following the "1/8 hole and masking tape" way to finding the true center of the holes works great. I have four holes that are centered almost perfectly. I had my dealer put in my first SuperGlide in my F-150, and I ended up with two elongated holes where the tech had to "adjust" the holes after drilling them. So I decided I could do it at least that good, and it turned out perfect. I would do it again.
And, you will need a torque wrench that can go to 266 ft-lbs.
