For your 2016 Ford F-150, I recommend the Reese Strait-Line Weight Distribution w Sway Control - Trunnion Bar - 12,000 lbs GTW, 1,200 lbs TW # RP66074. This system has a total tongue weight range of 600-1200 lbs. The total tongue weight is the loaded tongue weight of your trailer along with any cargo behind the rear axle of your truck.

The Reese Straight-Line uses hot rolled spring trunnion bars along with cams to keep your trailer straight. This is the only system that actually actively prevents trailer sway. The chains allow you to micro adjust the system for your driving preferences while still keeping the sway control active. On turns, the cams are overcome by the bars and slide freely and then automatically realign for straight driving. This system also allows you to back up without disconnecting the system.

For this system you will need a hitch ball like # 19286 and I recommend a locking hitch and coupler set like the etrailer Trailer Hitch Receiver & Coupler Lockset - 2" Trailer Hitch Receiver # e99039.

I have a solution for you, but the Bulldog #BD500200 is only going to be about 2" shorter than you current jack, and I think we can do a little bit better than that to make sure that you get full use of the tailgate on your 2019 Chevy Suburban.…

Hey David, from previous customers of ours who have the same 2020 Keystone Raptor 424 we have determined that your pin box style is the Lippert 1621 which means for a Gen-Y gooseneck adapter you'd want the #GY58GR that you referenced.
