Expert Reply:
For your 1998 Ford F-150/250, I recommend the Curt Front Mount Trailer hitch # 31049. This trailer hitch is capable of handling a 500-lbs vertical load limit, a maximum line pull limit of 9,000-lbs, and a GTW of 5,000-lbs.
Additionally, you may need a license plate relocation kit as the front hitch might cover the license plate. Should you need it, you can use the Curt Front Mount Trailer Hitch License Plate Holder # C31002.
