Harley F150 Tow Question
Just bought a beautiful 2008 F150 Harley thats being delivered in a few days. It arrives Friday and I literally need to tow my 6x12 enclosed Haulmark trailer on Saturday and won't have time to shop for one early Saturday. I want to get the correct ball mount in the meantime. Can somebody help me with the correct drop? The factory 22" wheels have me guessing at drop or I'd just go with a
5 3/4" or 6" drop. Thanks in advance.
5 3/4" or 6" drop. Thanks in advance.

Without the truck and trailer available to measure, then your best bet is to buy an adjustable shank/ball mount. Here's one that would probably work for your rig"

If you order that one today, you could pay a bit extra and have it delivered by Friday. Or maybe drive to a trailer hitch store such as a U-Haul store and see if they have something similar in stock.
BTW, wheel diameter doesn't matter. What matters is tire diameter. These three tire sizes:
275/65R18 (F-150 Lariat)
275/55R20 (F-150 Platinum)
275/45R22 (the size for your Harley)
are all close to 32" tire diameter. All three trucks with those 18", 20" and 22" tires could pull the same trailer with the same ball mount drop .
