If your Reese 20K 5th Wheel Hitch mounts to standard base rails then all you need to mount it using the puck system on your 2016 Ford F-350 is the Reese Elite Series Underbed Rail Adapter # RP30156. This adapter connects directly to your puck system and has mounting holes for a 5th wheel hitch that are spaced 20-1/2" or 29" x 22" (see attached picture).

If your Reese 5th wheel hitch uses a different mounting system please let me know so I can help get you set up to tow your camper.
