Hello everyone, I just recently purchased a 2008 Ford F350 Crew Cab Dually Diesel and was wandering why the truck has a 2.5 inch hitch on it. I am pretty sure that Chevy and Dodge do not do this. Now ...
Like HVAC said... the 2.5" hitch is bigger and carries more weight. That should be a GOOD thing on a heavier truck with a higher tow rating. Don't be an idiot like me and leave your factory reducer in the hitch without a hitch pin. I learned that lesson the hard way, luckily it was about $10 to buy another reducer at my local auto part store.
I already had a 2" square Equalizer hitch, or else I would take advantage of the 2.5" and get a better hitch...
