Expert Reply:
To use the B and W Patriot Fifth Wheel Hitch # BWRVK3200 you will need a set of industry standard fifth wheel rails installed in the bed of your 2016 Ford F-250 long bed.
For that you would want a custom install kit part # RP50026-58 as it will install in about half the time as a universal kit and will minimize. Drilling Reese rails are compatible with the Patriot and would work well.
When you install the # C56000 it would not affect the function of the 4-way in any way.
