It really depends on which model of Reese M5 you are referring to that fits your 2022 Ford F-350 with OEM. Here are the following weights of M5 hitches that are compatible with your setup:

- Reese M5 (27k) # RP30922: 162 pounds
- Reese M5 (20k) # RP30921: 154 pounds
- Reese M5 (32k) # RP68FR: 188 pounds

All of these options will fit your OEM pucks on your 2022 Ford F-350.
