jimh406- Thank you for your response and link to include pictures. I agree I need to determine length, and good call on getting a 2.5"-3" hitch. tongue weight is what it is in this scenario as the rzr barely fits. Thanks again
3” hitch is a waste. Idfk why Ford even started that fiasco. Maybe to detract from other shortcomings? Lol. They’re not rated for any more than the 2.5s. And also only on the 2017+ models I think?
The old chassis was the same frame from 99-16 so an OE 2.5 should fit. Maybe bolt up?
Good luck. Hope it all works for ya.
Now that you’ve shown you’re looking at it in detail, it’s a different story. None of us knew what your mystery camper was/is until now.
Still depends how stout it is. I’m not paranoid of putting some weight on the tailgate like some here. Nor am I worried about working the rest of the truck to its abilities.
Have to remember most folks here are campers not mechanics and or folks who know and work trucks like mules. So what you’re doing seems really far fetched to them.
Not sayin you won’t have some issues or hopefully just a few challenges but you’re not all wet like it first seemed.
