More importantly on the 2017 Super Duty...:B I received some feedback a while back from one of the guys that's in Ford's We Own Work promotion video's and he stated the F350 SRW that he was shown will have a 3" receiver and squatting will be a figment of your imagination.

Like Ford wants to be a farmer? I man outstanding in their field!

The adapter to go from a 2.5" receiver to a 2" is already a pain to many. I do not see the industry buying into a 3" setup that some hair dressers cousins ex-husband's friend had a dream about.

Class V hitches are good to 20,000/2000.

Here is a Q/A from etrailer. Does Ford not provide a reducer with each vehicle?

Question: Is There a Sleeve For my 2-1/2 inch Ford F350 Super Duty Hitch So I can Use 2 Inch Accesorries

My new SuperDuty F-350 with factory tow package has a 2 1/2 inch by 2 1/2 inch receiver hole. My old hitch is 2x2. Do I buy a new one is there is sleeve missing or something? Thanks!

2-1/2 inch hitch opening are used on hitches that are Class V, and are designed to haul large heavy trailers.

In order to reduce your hitch down to a 2 inch diameter opening on your new Ford F-350 Super Duty you would need to purchase a Titan Reducer Sleeve 2-1/2 inch to 2 inch, part # 58102.

You should take note that Ford OEM hitches have a tighter/different radius on their 2-1/2 inch receiver tubes. To accommodate the OEM Ford 2-1/2 inch hitch, the corners of a ball mount, shank or reducer sleeve may need to be sanded down to slide into the hitch.

Do not remove any more material than necessary. Simply removing the paint or powder-coat is often sufficient. Never use a grinder to knock-down the corners, which may remove too much material and will also heat the accessory and could compromise the product's structural integrity. This is especially the case with cast accessories like larger weight distribution shanks.
