For your 2016 Ford F-350 Super Duty, I'd recommend the Reese M5 Series. To give you the increased towing capacity, I'd suggest the Reese M5 Series 5th Wheel Hitch # RP30922. This hitch has many features that make it a favorite, but the safety and quality of the product are its best attributes. It has a forged, self-latching jaw that wraps around the king pin with superior jaw-to-king-pin contact, minimizing vibration. Another cool feature is a king pin indicator that keeps the hitch from locking until the connection is secure. The head has a 4-way pivot that has a 4-degree side to side adjustment for unleveled ground and has a wider than traditional funnel that provides a broader area for guiding the pin into the hitch.

The Elite Series utilizes an under-bed rail system, # RP30126, that is a custom fit for your vehicle. My favorite part of this design is that the system allows you to have full use of the complete truck bed when not in use by utilizing an easy and secure Power Puck mounting system. I've included a video of the installation so you can see what sets this system apart.
