I can help answer the questions you're having about this Demco AutoSlide 5th Wheel Hitch.
Demco designed this 13K Hijacker AutoSlide 5th Wheel Hitch # DM8550040 with the 5-1/2 foot beds in mind. As you turn this hitch will give you an extended distance of 22-1/2 inches, which is crucial to most short bed truck owners when making sharp turns. So, this Demco 5th Wheel Hitch will work great for your 2016 Ford F-150.
The Demco AutoSlide # DM8550040 is compatible with industry standard above the bed rails, for a custom installation kit for your 2016 Ford F-150, I recommend the Reese # RP50087-58. Demco does offer a universal kit # DM8552009-71.
