Class V Hitch?
I have a brand new F350 with a class V hitch. It's 2.5" square. I'm getting a sleeve to insert so I can use my existing weight distribution hitch, 2". Thoughts on "needing" the torsion bars for weight...

Time for you guys to get caught up, 3" receivers have been out for a few years now.
If you have a 2-1/2" receiver, get the proper shank, use the 2" adapter for small utility trailers.
Caught up? Only Ford offers them OE that I'm aware of and the aftermarket extra duty Class V receivers are almost entirely 2.5" save for a few select "weld on" type units for straight rail trucks. Not certain you can get an aftermarket 3" for a pickup. I looked recently with no luck.
And FWIW, the 3" Frod (pun intended) hitches are mostly marketing gimmick. They're not rated any higher than other 2.5" hitches, actually a bit lower than some. Not that they're bad, just not a real step up from the heavy 2.5" receivers.
