Ford Hitch

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 I have to by a sleeve adapter for the hitch so that I can use it. Is there some reason why Ford is doing this.

That is a good point. Do you happen to know what the rating on my hitch might be.

Dodge does it starting with the 2500 series. Pretty sure GM does too. No point in having a heavy duty truck with a receiver that can't handle heavy tongue weights.
