For your 1989 Ford F-250 the Curt hitch part # 14001 is a confirmed fit and would work well for towing a trailer.
You will need to start with a 4-way (if you do not have one). For that you would want the # C55316.
Now if your trailer does not have brakes all you would need is the part # 37185 as an adapter to convert the 4-way to a 7-way.
If you do have trailer brakes you would need the # ETBC7 instead of the # 37185 and a brake controller. This kit comes with everything needed to wire up the 7-way and install a brake controller.
For a brake controller I would recommend the Prodigy P2 Brake Controller part # 90885. This is our best selling brake controller because of how well it works and how easy it is to setup.
