Measurements For The Curt Commercial Duty Hitch That Fits A 2021 Ford F-550 Cab and Chassis
Question:
Hello, I am looking to upgrade a hitch on a Ford 550 Cab Chassis with a flatbed. I am hoping you can provide a 2 specific measurement that I can not find in the existing QA. #1 I want to ensure that the rear plane of the hitch bar not the end of the receiver tube lines up properly with the back of my flat bed. Can you provide the distance from the rear frame mount holes the ones that attach to the bottom of the frame with the rear face of the hitch bar? #2 I am looking for the width of the plate on top of the receiver tube. I have added a photo with more detail for reference. Thanks for you help! Paul

When installing a trailer hitch on your 2021 Ford F-550 Cab and Chassis The Curt Trailer Hitch Receiver - Custom Fit - Class V Commercial Duty - 2-1/2 inches # C15845 will be a good upgrade.
Per the manufacturer the distance from the rear frame mount hole to the rear of the cross bar is 20 inches. The plate on top of the receiver tube is 7.17 inches.
The trailer hitch can tow up to 20,000 pounds and has a tongue weight up to 2,700 pounds. I would check your manual to double check the proper towing weight capacity of you vehicle. The Curt hitch is made in the USA and has a long lasting black powder coat finish that is rust resistant.
