When installing the B and W Turnoverball Gooseneck Hitch # BWGNRK1111 in your 2016 Ford F-250 with a drop in bedliner you'll have to cut out the center of the liner to allow the gooseneck ball to pass through. If you were to ever want to use a Companion hitch like the part # BWRVK3400 you'd need to trim the hole back larger so that the hitch can make complete contact with the floor.
Install time wouldn't be too bad but it depends on how quickly you work. Most would knock this out in a day but it depends. I attached an install video for this hitch on a similar Ford truck as yours for you to check out. You can use it as a guide for the install process as well as a way to help determine about how much time you'd need to set aside.
