Looks like the towing capacity of a 2006 Ford F-350 would be between 8,100 to 13,600 lbs depending on how it's equipped. For a fifth wheel hitch the Reese part # RP30081 that you referenced would be a great solution. It has a jaw design that holds the trailer tightly to prevent noise and movement.

For a rail kit I'd recommend a custom install kit like the part # RP50082-58 which will minimize install time and drilling.

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.

The safe GVWR rating is 80-85% of total weight capacity to allow for any additional weight added to the trailer. So for a 16k pin box you'd be looking at 12,800lbs - 13,600lbs as a safe weight. I looked up your current pin box with the LCI Number…
