Where Will Curt Hitch # C14016 Sit in Relation to Factory Hitch On 2018 Ford F-150
Question:
Hello, when installing the Curt. C14016 hitch on an 18 f150 with the factory hitch. The pics posted show the factory hitch protuding further than the C14016 hitch. Do you now exactly to much further back the C14016 hitch sits?

The Curt Trailer Hitch Receiver # C14016 referenced in your question is confirmed to fit your 2018 Ford F-150 that is equipped with the factory hitch. We have not gotten a chance to install this hitch on the 2018 F-150 so we do not have an exact measurement as to how much further back the receiver will sit in relation to the factory hitch.
I did go out to our warehouse so I could take a quick measurement on this Curt Hitch that will help you see where the hitch will sit on your truck. I measured a distance of right about 9 inches from the first bolt hole to the outermost edge of the receiver. What you can do is measure out 9 inches from where this will attach on the truck's frame rails to see where the receiver will sit in relation to the factory receiver.
I have attached the written installation instructions that you can also take a look at.
