How to Select a Trailer Hitch
Match Class 3 through Class 5 hardware to the door sticker and the live card before you shop a heavier trailer than the truck can honestly tow.
Watch on YouTubeShopping a trailer hitch for a Ford F-250 Super Duty in Canada? Start with the door-sticker tow limit on this Super Duty pickup, then open the live CURT Class 5 shelf we stock for listed F-250 years. CURT 15802 is the in-stock Class 5 hitch with a two and one half inch receiver for two thousand seventeen through two thousand twenty-six Ford F-250 Super Duty pickups on the live card, with listed F-350 Super Duty pickup years also noted on that same sheet. The hitch card rates about twenty thousand pounds gross trailer weight and two thousand seven hundred pounds tongue weight, and it stays compatible with weight distribution at those same numbers on the hitch card. Door sticker first. Hitch second. Cab and chassis trucks are excluded on that late-model sheet, so read the title carefully. Canada orders often ship free on qualifying baskets, so confirm the cart note before you check out.
All four videos are from the official CURT YouTube channel (@curtmfg). Use them for class selection, install habits, wiring basics, and ball-mount height before you dig into the product cards below.

Watch on YouTubeCURT 15802 is a Class 5 hitch with a two and one half inch receiver for two thousand seventeen through two thousand twenty-six Ford F-250 Super Duty pickups on the live card. The same sheet also covers listed F-350 Super Duty pickup years and excludes cab and chassis. On the hitch card it rates about twenty thousand pounds gross and two thousand seven hundred pounds tongue, with matching weight-distribution notes. That is honest heavy Class 5 hardware sized for serious bumper-pull trailers that still respect the Ford door sticker.
Older nineteen ninety-nine through two thousand sixteen Super Duty pickups often sit on CURT 15410, a Class 5 hitch with a two inch receiver rated about seventeen thousand pounds gross and two thousand five hundred fifty pounds tongue on the hitch card. CURT 13014 is the lighter Class 3 two inch option on that same older window when you only need everyday trailer duty. Front-mount receivers and in-bed gooseneck or fifth-wheel kits are separate conversations, even when they appear on the same year lander.
We do not invent an F-250-only wiring harness promise across every listed year here. Many of these trucks already carry a factory seven-way, but still confirm lights and a brake-controller path before the first Canadian night tow. Deeper bed-kit shopping lives in our fifth wheel and gooseneck guide.
