My f350 doesnt weight much more than a f250 how are you towing a f250 with a 5000lbs.rate bar that truck is close to 8000 lbs.

Expert Reply:
The Curt Tow Bar with Adjustable-Width Arms - Car Mount - 2" Ball - 5,000 lbs # C19745 is not a fit for an F-250 or F-350 as you stated. It is far too large and many 2 inch hitch balls won't handle that capacity either.
For a tow-bar compatible with an F-350, I recommend the Roadmaster BlackHawk 2 # RM-422. That tow bar is rated for 10,000 lbs.
If you let me know your model year, I'd be happy to help you find the appropriate baseplates and other components to safely tow your truck.
