Expert Reply:
For your 2016 Ford F-150 short bed I like the B&W Turnover Ball gooseneck hitch # BW77FR. They are a leader in the industry, the hitches are made in the USA, and they do all the laser cutting of the metal parts in house to ensure quality and precision. I have linked a video review of this hitch for you.
Since you have a short bed I recommend adding an offset ball # BWGNXA4085. This will give you 4 more inches of clearance so you can make tighter turns.
