If you look in the bed of your 2016 GMC Sierra 3500 and see 4 pucks in a square/rectangular pattern then the truck has the factory towing prep package. It will look similar to the picture I have included.
If you have that in your truck bed then you can use a hitch that fits directly such as # C16545-16025. For a short bed model use the B&W Companion slider # BWRVK3770.
If the truck does not have the 4 pucks in the bed then you will need an installation kit and a hitch. If you like the under bed mount that leaves the bed clear when the hitch is removed then I recommend the B&W Companion # BWRVK3400-5W with under bed installation kit # BWGNRK1016-5W. The hitch tops out at 20,000 pounds and has 12 inches of travel.
