Thanks for that info, and your 3005 is the same as the Reese 5th Wheel Trailer Hitch w/ Square Tube Slider # RP30051. And the answer is absolutely yes, that hitch is 100 percent compatible with the Reese base rails and install kit you mentioned that fit your 2016 Ford F-250:
- Reese Quick-Install Custom Outboard Installation Kit with Base Rails # RP56016-53
This base rail kit is a really good choice for your F-250 because they do not require any drilling into your truck's frame to install, which is not only great for your truck, but also saves hours of installation time.
The only other thing I wanted to mention is that if you also need a 5th wheel wiring harness for your '16 F-250, the correct part is the Curt 5th Wheel/Gooseneck Custom Wiring Harness # C56070.
