Default Uprated hitch...

I found an uprated hitch to replace the factory hitch for those needing more hitch weight capacity.

^^^ what he said, plus...

Just because you put a larger hitch on doesn't mean the vehicle can handle more capacity.

  • Maximum Trailer Weight:10000
  • Maximum Tongue Weight:1000
  • Maximum Trailer Weight With Weight Distribution Hitch:12000
  • Maximum Tongue Weight With Weight Distribution Hitch:1200
Factory is 5000/500
10,500/1,050

The aftermarket Curt has 500# additional tongue weight capacity without a WDH and 150# more with WDH.

Ummmm.... You might want to read that in more detail before buying. It says that the hitch can pull 10,000, AND it fits your F150, but it doesn't say that makes your 150 capable of pulling 10,000.

See what they say and let us know. This would be awesome.
