Class V Trailer Hitch Recommended for 1997 Ford F-250
Question:
Im looking for a class IV or V receiver hitch that fits my 1997 F250 Heavy duty. The bumper doesnt have any down. Can you help with a recommendation?

Expert Reply:
The right hitch will depend on whether you have the F250LD (basically and F150 with a beefed up suspension) or the F250HD.
If you have the LD model pickup, I'd recommend the Curt # C15303 or for an HD model pickup, use the # C15300. Either hitch is a super-high quality item that will give you years of trouble-free service.
The B & W # BWHDRH25198 you'd looked at is also very high quality, but it's higher priced than the Curt no better in quality.
I've linked the installation instructions for both hitches.
