Correct! TW stands for tongue weight and WD stands for Weight Distribution. I have a class V hitch for your 1990 F150,F250 or F350. The Curt Class V # C15300 will fit your 1990 Ford. This hitch has a max gross trailer weight of 16,000 lbs and a max GTW when used with weight distribution of 17,000 lbs. It has a Maximum tongue weight of 2,400 lbs and the maximum TW when used with weight distribution is 2,400 lbs. I've included an installation video for you to watch that will help you with your install!
