Curt Trailer Hitch # C14002 Compatibility if Factory Hitch is Removed
Question:
I have a 2013 ford F150 xlt supercab with 8foot box and HD payload and HD tow. Can I remove my stock hitch and fit it with the C14002 so I can use without a weight distribution system. I have a 9990 lbs aluminum open trailer..

Expert Reply:
The Curt Trailer Hitch Receiver # C14002 will fit your 2013 Ford F150 once your factory hitch is removed. It will allow you to tow at a higher capacity than your factory hitch without using weight distribution as you mentioned.
The factory hitches are often welded to the frame, so if that is the case you would need to have the hitch cut off to install the replacement. All of the aftermarket hitches apart from the TorkLift SuperHitch Hero Trailer Hitch Receiver - Dual 2" Receivers # TLF1005H say will not work with factory mounted hitch because it installs in the same location.
