Recommended Class V Hitch That Has Mounting Tabs That Point Inward For 1995 Ford F-350
Question:
Curt Trailer Hitch Receiver - Custom Fit - Class V Commercial Duty - 2-1/2 Item # C15845 Because of the size of the spare I need a class 5 where the part that connects to the truck to fold in at the top, not fold out. The hitches that fold out are too narrow for the tire. ____ ______ This does not work for me I need ____ ______ If that makes sense Or can someone send me all the measurements for the hitch so I can map it against the truck rails. Thanks

Expert Reply:
I have a different option for you, but the Curt Trailer Hitch # C15845 you were looking at is designed to fit the 1999 and newer trucks so it will not fit your 1995 Ford F-350 Long Bed.
Instead I recommend taking a look at the Curt # C15511 which will get installed on your truck with the tabs for the mounting bolts pointing in-ward like you were wanting. This is also a Class V hitch with a 1500lb tongue weight rating and 15000lb trailer weight rating so it will be perfect for your heavy duty towing needs, though you will need to check the towing and tongue weight capacities of your truck and use the lower ratings between the truck and hitch.
To go with this hitch I recommend a heavy duty ball mount # C45341 with a 2" hitch ball # A-90 or 2-5/16" hitch ball # 19286 to match the coupler on your trailer.
I included a link to the written instructions of the # C15511 for you to take a look at.
