There is only one gooseneck hitch that will fit a 2016 Ram 1500 with a 5-1/2 foot bed, the B&W Turnoverball # BWGNRK1309. This is a heavy duty hitch with a 30,000 lb towing limit, 7,500 lb vertical load limit, uses a 2-5/16 hitch ball and uses an in-bed latching mechanism to secure and release ball. I've added a link to a video review of this hitch for you to take a look at.
