Curt Class IV Hitch Compatibility for 2020 Ford F-150 with Factory-Installed Hitch

Question:

I have a 2020 Ford F-150 with a factory hitch and want to upgrade to a heavier duty hitch. What are my options?

For your 2020 Ford F-150 I recommend the Curt Class IV 2" trailer hitch part # C14016. The hitch is designed to be installed in addition to the factory hitch and the receiver tube will be below the factory hitch. The Curt hitch has a rating of 1000 lbs TW and 10,000lbs GTW when not using weight distribution, and the weight capacity increases to 1200 lbs TW and 12,000 GTW when using weight distribution.

With the rating of the hitch in mind, you will want to check your F-150's manual, and verify that it can handle that amount weight; you don't want to exceed the manufacturer's recommended weight.

I have attached a photo of what it will look like with the factory hitch, and a video showing the install process on a 2018 F-150.

Will this combination installation work with the TorkLift Super Truss extender?

The TorkLift Super Truss extenders cannot be used with this Curt setup even though you'll technically have two receivers available. These extenders are only compatible with the TorkLift hitches.
