Expert Reply:
I pulled up the installation instructions for the # BWGNRK1016 which is a fit for your 2016 GMC Sierra 3500 and found that the hitch ball center measures 49-1/2 inch from rear and the Curt hitch you have installed would be located 47 inches from the FRONT of the truck bed. Since we don't have access to the overall length of your truck bed measured from the front of the inside of the bed to the back of the truck bed edge you will have to measure to check on your truck.
