For a gooseneck hitch that fits your 2016 Ford F-350 Super Duty that doesn't require you to remove your bed for installation, and has a ball that you can fli8p upside down for a clean bed when you aren't towing, what you'll need is a hitch from B&W:
- B&W Turnoverball Underbed Gooseneck Trailer Hitch # BWGNRK1111
The Turnoverball # BWGNRK1111 not only meets your criteria for installation and having a hitch ball you can stow away, it is the premier gooseneck in the industry. There are a couple reasons for that, starting with the square base that encompasses the hitch ball.
What this does is ensure stability and a much quieter ride than gooseneck hitches that use a ball with a round base. The square base prevents the ball from rotating, stabilizing the connection to the gooseneck coupler, which is what minimizes the noise. The square base also makes it much simpler to line up the pin when securing the ball, and removes any gap between the ball and the socket, so there is less dirt and grime building up.
The only other thing you will need, if you don't have one, is a gooseneck wiring harness for your '16 F-350, the Curt 5th Wheel/Gooseneck Custom Wiring Harness # C56070.
