Question

Question:

XL Anti-Rattle Trailer Hitch Receiver Lock for 2-1/2inch Hitches - 3-1/2inch Span Item # SHP2040-XL Will this item work on the 2017 Ford Super Duty to keep my 2.5 inch hitch from rattling? I have used on a smaller truck with the 2 inch hitch but having trouble finding one that will work on my truck. I read all comments on this product and did not see anyone with the new ford super duty.
