The Curt # C31083 weighs 47 lbs; it's country of origin is the United States of America. The Draw-Tite # 65067 weighs in at 37 pounds and is not made in the USA.

Each of these hitches are confirmed fits for your 2016 Ford F-150, and each has a 2 inch receiver capable of being used with a snowplow, winch, or other accessory. I've also added a photo showing what the Curt receiver looks like on a Ford truck.

I went out to the warehouse and measured the Curt Front Hitch #C31083 and it also is going to be 9.5" from the cross tube to the end of the receiver, so it will have the same dimensions as the Draw-Tite #65067.
