Your 2016 Ford F-250 with a 6-1/2 foot short bed is compatible with the hitch you asked about, the B&W Companion 5th Wheel Trailer Hitch # BWRVK3500.

The only thing you will need in order to install this 5th wheel hitch in your F-250 is the mounting kit, the Custom Underbed Installation Kit for B&W Companion 5th Wheel Trailer Hitches # BWGNRK1111-5W.

This underbed mounting kit not only leaves your F-250's bed nice and clean, it actually doubles as a gooseneck hitch as well, so you are getting the best of all worlds with this application. The Companion is an excellent choice for a hitch as well, because it's jaw system is superior to any other 5th wheel hitch due to their sheer size and ability to grip the kingpin like an adhesive, giving you the most comfortable towing experience possible. It is considered by many to be the highest-quality 5th wheel hitch in the industry.

The only other thing you will need is a 5th wheel wiring harness if you don't have one, the Curt 5th Wheel/Gooseneck Custom Wiring Harness # C56070.

I have added some links below to video reviews to check out as well of the wiring harness, Installation Kit # BWGNRK1111-5W, and B&W Companion # BWRVK3500.
