Anyone know if this will fit a 2010 XLT? Running a few errands just happen to be at Walmart and have one in stock. Since my truck did not come with a hitch curious to see if this fits. Thanks in advance for any help.

don't do it. This is much much better:

$140 and built for your truck.

Thank you very much. Thought I'd ask before buying and my gut was right. Thanks again!!

Depends. If that receiver is Reese part number 51097, then it will fit fine and work fine - provided your trailer tongue weight is not more than 500 pounds WC or 1000 pounds WD.


The Curt receiver that tcp2 suggested is much more expensive and much more heavy duty. Reese makes more expensive heavier duty receivers too. But an F-150 runs out of payload capacity for tongue weight long before it runs into the 10k WD limit of that Reese hitch. So if you want to spend the extra money for the Curt receiver, go ahead. But the Reese TowPower will meet your needs just fine if you don't plan to overload your F-150.

More like this, I would think:


remember: "multi-fit" in the OP title. Is $40 more really MUCH more expensive. you'll spend that in extra time making the multi-fit unit work.

You want a class 4 hitch

When I click on that link. Amazon warns me that that hitch will not fit a 2010 F-150.

"Class IV" receiver means it can tow a trailer with hitch weight of 1,000 pounds or more with either a weight-carrying (WC) or weight-distributing (WD) hitch. Nobody needs a Class IV receiver on an F-150.


What he wants is a Class III/IV receiver, similar to the OEM receiver that's included with the F-150 trailer towing pkg. A class III/IV receiver can handle a trailer with tongue weight of 500 pounds or more with a WC hitch, and 1,000 pounds or more with a WD hitch. The actual tongue weight limits will be on the receiver. Ford says he should not tow any trailer with tongue weight over 500 pounds without a weight-distributing (WD) hitch. So the class III/IV receiver is all he needs - unless he plans to exceed the Ford weight limits.

Wrongo, the Curt listed above is a Class 4/5 and it's listed for a F150.
