Recommended Trailer Hitch for 2018 Ford F-150
Question:
Hello, Im looking for a frame-mounted hitch for 2018 Ford F-150. I noticed that some come with factory and hitch and some come without factory hitch. What does that mean? Also, do any of the frame-mounted hitches you sell change the height of the receiver tube compared to the OEM bumper mounted hitch? If so, by how much? Thank you.

Expert Reply:
We have some great trailer hitch options for a 2018 Ford F-150 but in order to choose the correct one you'll need to know if there is a factory hitch already present. This is not the same as the hole in the bumper used to attach a hitch ball. If you don't have a factory frame mounted hitch which sounds like the case then I recommend the Curt Trailer Hitch Receiver part # C86HR which offers a simple bolt-on install. It does indeed provide a lower connection point that the factory bumper. It'll be around 19.5" from the ground to the top inside edge of the tube.
