Default Front anti-sway bar sizes?

OK, my 2019 brochure says it comes standard.
Towing package 53A & Max Towing Package 53C says they come with an upgraded anti sway bar. Still others change it out with an aftermarket one like Hellwig.
What is the bar thickness, I.e., diameter for the standard and upgraded ones from Ford?
tried an unsuccessful Forum search ;(

Both are the same diameter. One is hollow, one is solid.

Thank you. Means the thicker after market ones are worthwhile. No probs now towing or driving, but I like future planning & options

Is the HDPP one different as well?

How hard is it to swap to the solid front sway bar? Anyone done it and noticed a difference? Have a new 2020.

You might want to think twice about that idea. I have an 18 max tow. My buddy has a 17 configured the same minus max tow. The monster sway bar on mine makes the ride noticeably more harsh.

Yours is the hollow sway bar?

Good info. Maybe I'll do the rear first and see where it leads me. I put the hellwig rear bar on my last 2 trucks, Frontier and Tundra.

No. Max tow uses solid.

Ah ok. Figured the max tow had a larger and solid one. Appears there is only one size solid bar. Thanks

Base
53B - Class IV Hitch - Medium-Duty Trailer Towing Package
Hollow Aniti-Sway Bar

53A - Heavy-Duty Trailer Towing Package
53C - Max Tow Package
Police Responder
2.7PP (53A Mandatory option)
HPP (53A or 53C mandatory option)
Solid Anti-Sway Bar

The solid is the same size so fits the same mounts as the standard bar.
