The etrailer Trailer Hitch Receiver # e92KR differs from the other fits for your 2003 Ford F-150 in that it has a matte black finish. This not only looks more rugged but is more durable than the classic glossy black finish we see with the other hitches. I really like this finish and recommend it as often as I can.

If you don't already have trailer wiring on your truck then I recommend the Curt T-Connector # C55344 if you have a Flareside or SuperCrew or the T-Connector # C56031 if you have something else.

To round out your towing setup I recommend picking up the B&W Tow & Stow 3-Ball Mount # BWTS10048B because it's a solid choice that's made in the USA and backed by a limited lifetime warranty. There is also enough adjustability that you likely won't ever need another ball mount again! I do recommend securing your investment with a locking hitch pin like part # 34061075-D.

I did some checking and the hub/drum we offer that will work for you is the part #8-430-5UC3. This uses the same bearings as the 8-415 and will be an exact fit aside from the fact this is a non-ABS setup and the 8-415 came in an ABS setup and non-ABS…
