Replacement 2 Inch Hitch For 1999 Ford F-250 Super Duty

Question

Question:

I have a 1999 Ford F250 Super Duty crew cab short bed with a 7.3L diesel. It has a factory 2 inch receiver and the hole to hold the hitch is now 11/16 in diameter. Is it safe to continue to use this hitch or should it be replaced? I pull a 38 foot trail trailer which weighs around 9,000 lbs.

I definitely recommend replacing the 2 inch hitch on your 1999 Ford F-250 Super Duty to be on the safe side. For a 2 inch hitch that will fit your truck and has the capacity needed to pull a large travel trailer go with an option from Curt:

- Curt Trailer Hitch Receiver # C15410

The # C15410 has a 2 inch receiver but is a Class V hitch with a 1,700 lb towing and 2,550 lb tongue weight capacity so it's got the necessary bulk for your travel trailer.

Yes, a trailer that is nose up can cause big problems. A level trailer is ideal and worth working toward for safety. The good news is that you can get the trailer almost exactly level with switching ball mounts. This is where an adjustable ball mount…

You will have to go with a sliding hitch to allow the trailer to make tight turns. For a trailer 8 feet wide the only bed length that's going to allow 90 degree turns without a slider is a stationary hitch. That being said you have two options.…
