2017 / 2018 Ford Factory 3" Receiver Hitch Extension

Just a follow up on the Ford Super Duty hitch.

I took my trusty plastic $6 Chinese Tool Store digital micrometer with me to the Ford dealer and checked the steel thickness on the OEM 2-1/2" and the 3" hitches.

My micrometer only reads in .01", but here goes:

2-1/2" = .160" to .180" thickness (approx.)

3" = .210 thickness (approx.)

The measurements apply to the cross tube and the structure which bolts to the frame.
