Adapter for 3" Hitch on 2020 Ford F-350 for Bike Rack
Question:
I have an F350 Super Duty with a 3 hitch and I need a bike rack to fit. I have a 2.5 adapter but a double adapter does not work.

You can reduce the 3" receiver on your 2020 F-350 down to a 2" using a reducer sleeve like the # e33YR. Some bike racks like this Curt # C18065 would be directly compatible with the reducer if you use a long enough hitch pin/lock like the # FA86-00-3160.
A bike rack like the Thule T2 Pro # TH83JV and others may have a design that would require using the # e88YR in addition to the reducer. In this case the locking hitch hook won't fit around a 3" receiver. The extender reduces the capacity of your hitch by 50% but that shouldn't be a problem since your capacity will still be more than enough.
If you can give me a little more information on what you're looking for in a bike rack, such as the style or number of bikes you want to carry, I would be happy to make a specific recommendation.
