Expert Reply:

The width of your frame indicates that your 2012 Ford F-450 is most likely a cab and chassis model which has the frame width a few inches than a standard truck bed. But if you can measure the distance between the mounting holes on the frame of your truck from left to right and they are 34.31 inches this hitch # C15810 would fit and work well.
