The Swagman XC 2-Bike Rack # S64650 will absolutely work and fit in the hitch you mentioned for your 2016 Ford F-150, the Draw-Tite Front Mount Trailer Hitch Receiver # 65067.

There will be plenty of clearance away from your front bumper to use the Swagman XC 2-Bike Rack # S64650.

The hitch pin hole on the Draw-Tite hitch will be recessed about 6 inches under your bumper, but the Swagman bike rack measures about 10-1/2 inches from the hitch pin hole to the closest part of the rack. The Swagman rack also has a 4 inch rise in the shank to alleviate any issues with ground clearance.

The only thing I recommend is adding a lock to keep it secure to your hitch while you're on your bike, which you can do with the Locking Anti-Rattle, Threaded Hitch Pin # S64029.
