Hitch Immobilizer that Can Fit Ford 2.5 inch Factory Hitch

Question

Question:

I have An F350. I am using a 2.5” to 2” reducer. The issue I am finding is that the color around the 2.5 receiver is approximately 3.5” square. Do you have anything that I can use to immobilize the hitch. Thank you

The Blue Ox Immobilizer part # BLU85QR that you referenced would work great for what you are looking for since it was designed to fit the 3 inch hitch size. It would easily fit around the collar of your hitch that is 3.5 inch.

We do not have a 3 inch extension that is that specific length. The adapter I recommend is the Buyers Products 3" to 2" Receiver Tube Adapter #337RTA302. The adapter is 9-1/2 inches long but it is 3-7/8" inches from pin…
