You will need a Curt Hitch Receiver Reducer #C45408 on your 2020 Ford F-250 with the 3" hitch. This will give you a sleeve adapter to reduce your 3" receiver to either a 2-1/2" receiver or 2" receiver. The Reese…

I checked with my technical contact at Reese and he said that as long as your trunnion bars are the Reese branded bars, like part #66010, they can be used with the Replacement Head and Shank for Reese Weight Distribution Systems, #RP54980. He also…
