Upgrading factory reciever?

[DwnSth]

Have the F150 in sig. With about 2100 lbs of payload we've actually been looking at some very light 5th wheels and am well aware of where I can be with our truck. At the same time, a few very nice TT also have hit the list. However, some of these have high dry tongue weights of 800+ lbs. The factory receiver says max with WD is 1130. Are there any aftermarket receiver with a stronger rating, something like 1500. Don't want to void warranty. Would want to keep loaded tongue 1200 or less but would like enough wiggle room to not worry about it.

Not all of them. I just had a Ranch Hand bumper put on my F250 and it used the factory hitch.

Check out Curt hitches, I believe they make a higher rated hitch for your truck.

Interesting, I wonder what's so different that it wouldn't fit.

This looked like just what I needed. However, they are not compatible if the truck has a factory 11,500 lb. hitch. Now, I'm wondering, if a truck does not have that hitch, how could it benefit from the hero hitch? No way an F150 with the 10,500 lb. hitch could handle the weight the hero allows.

I don't think you'll find anything as the OEM is integrated into the bumper. I know when I had our 2010 F150 I too was looking for an after market receiver and couldn't find anything with a heavier rating. That was 2 years ago though.
