Trailer Hitch Recommendation for 2000 Ford F-150

Question:

Looking for a rear hitch for a 2000 Ford F-150 XLT. I see several options however, I’d like some guidance. I am looking to pull a 3000 GVWR trailer.

For towing a 3,000 lb trailer with your 2000 Ford F-150 the Curt hitch part # C14355 would fit and work well as it's a confirmed fit for your truck and has a 10,000 lb trailer weight capacity as well.

For trailer wiring you'd then want the part # C56031 for a 4-way.

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.
