Expert Reply:
Yes, for your 2016 Ford F-350 with 6-3/4 foot bed I recommend the B&W gooseneck trailer hitch and installation kit # BWGNRK1111. B&W are leaders in the towing industry and this hitch is made in the USA. It is rated for 30,000 pounds gross trailer weight. I have included a link to a video showing an example installation for you.
Since you have a short bed truck, you may need a little more clearance when making turns. For that I recommend the offset ball # BWGNXA4085 which will provide 4 inches of additional clearance. I have linked a video review of this ball for you.
If you need more than 4 inches then I recommend using the regular ball that comes with the hitch and instead use B&W coupler # BWTEXA4200 with the trailer. It offers 10 inches of additional clearance. It is rated for 24,000 pounds so you would be limited to that if using this coupler. I have linked a video review for you.
