    that said not a big deal to swap out a hitch on a ford BUT wonder how many others out there think it's good and really should pop the $250 for a new one.

    Here's the one on our 99 f250 super duty. It's our do all truck. Gasv10 gets 8mpgs whether towing or running round town.
    Interesting that its not as stout as the half ton Chevy on a f250. Looks like Ford has missed the boat 4 years.

    factory ford or I should say either factory or dealer installed in montana. I can't confirm if it came new with it or gf's mom added it on at the dealer when she bought the rig. I would assume it was factory spec.

    I drove the big3 back in 17 when I bought the chevy and if I could rewind the clock even with a subpar hitch factory we would be a 2 ford family. the chevy has a much better ride than either ford or dodge but overall it really hasn't been a trouble free truck. I don't plan on replacing it for another 7-10 years as I don't drive it much(put 2200 miles on it so far this year) but our next truck will likely be a ford.
