I have a '14 F-150 Super Crew with the Max Tow Package, and I currently only have separate 1 7/8" and 2" ball mounts. Rather than pick up an third piece with a 2 5/16" on it, I'd rather just pick up one adjustable ball mount with at least the two larger sizes (2" and 2 5/16") on it.

I'm looking for recommendations, what are you guys using? There seems to be a lot to choose from. I just want to make sure I have what will cover my truck's capabilities and be a good quality product. FWIW, my GCWR is 17,100lbs with a GVWR of 7650lbs, and a max payload of 1900lbs.

 

This is the one that I am using. It is solid shank and the pintle hitch is nice for when you need to use a recovery strap

 

To "cover your truck's capabilities" you will need a weight distributing hitch. Anything over 5000lbs requires it according to Ford. Most of them are adjustable, but they can get pricey. And pretty bulky if not using the weight distributing feature like when you're pulling a lightweight trailer. I'd imagine you'd want to swap your ball due to the cost. I'd say your better off just getting what you need for now. I'd you ever get a bigger trailer, set it up then.

 

Yeah, that does seem to be the case.

I will hold off for the time being, as what I have right now has been sufficient for everything I've needed to tow. I'd look into the weight distributing hitch once I had something that fell into that weight range, which I don't think will happen in the next several months at least.

 

I love my Rapid Hitch
