We have a great font hitch for your 2016 Ford F-250 Super Duty.

It's the Draw-Tite 2" Hitch, part # 65049. It works for both 2-wheel and 4-wheel drive models and has an easy, bolt-on installation. It has a line pull of 9000 pounds, a vertical load of 500 pounds, and a gross trailer weight of 5000 pounds.

I've linked to a video installation of this hitch for your consideration.
