2005 Ford F150 Trailer Hitch Recommendation
Question:
I have a 2005 F150 that I bought used without a trailer hitch. I would like to add one, however, Im not quite sure what I need? It looks like it has part of a hitch attached and welded to the frame.

For your 2005 Ford F-150 the Curt Hitch part # 13357 has been confirmed to fit your vehicle and is our most popular option so I would recommend it for you. It has been confirmed to fit all models of your vehicle so it would work with your frame setup.
If you wanted to do some towing you might be interested in etrailer ball mount kit # 989900. It comes with 2 ball mounts; one with a 3/4 inch rise or 2 inch drop and one with a 2-3/4 inch rise or 4 inch drop. It also includes a 1-7/8 inch ball, 2 inch ball, hitch pin with clip, and a storage bag.
If the ball mount kit does not include a ball mount with the right rise or drop to tow the trailer level, check out the link I have included that explains how to measure to choose a ball mount to tow the trailer level.
For trailer wiring you would need the part # C56031.
