How to Select a Trailer Hitch
Match Class 5 hardware to the Super Duty door sticker and the live card before you shop a heavier trailer than the Ford can honestly tow.
Watch on YouTubeShopping a trailer hitch for a Ford F-350 Super Duty in Canada? Start with the door-sticker tow limit on this heavy-duty pickup, then open the live CURT Class 5 shelf we stock for listed Super Duty 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 F-350 Super Duty pickups on the live card, excluding cab and chassis. Older nineteen ninety-nine through two thousand sixteen Super Duty pickups often sit on CURT 15410 with a two inch Class 5 tube instead. Door sticker first. Hitch second. Many F-350 owners haul gooseneck or fifth-wheel trailers as well as bumper-pull setups, so treat the rear receiver rating as hardware capacity under the Ford sticker and keep in-bed hardware on its own path. Canada orders often ship free on qualifying baskets, so confirm the cart note before you check out.

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-350 Super Duty pickups on the live card. The same sheet also covers listed F-250 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. Cab and chassis F-350 trucks use different CURT cards such as 15445 or 15402 with frame-width notes, so do not order a pickup hitch for a cab and chassis frame by guesswork.
Gooseneck and fifth-wheel gear is a separate in-bed conversation. We stock those SKUs on many Super Duty year landers, and the deeper shopping walk-through lives in our fifth wheel and gooseneck guide. This page stays focused on the rear receiver path for listed F-350 years.

Hitch versus vehicle tow rating
Find the Ford tow and tongue numbers for your F-350. The hitch cannot raise that limit.
Pickup and cab-chassis cards are not interchangeable. Read the live title before you cart anything.
Use 15802 for listed late-model pickups, or 15410 for many older Super Duty pickup years.
Two and one half inch on 15802. Two inch on 15410 and 13014. Pins and mounts must match.
Two and one half inch Class 5 for listed two thousand seventeen and newer Super Duty pickups.
Two inch Class 5 for many nineteen ninety-nine through two thousand sixteen Super Duty pickup years.
Cab and chassis cards such as 15445 or 15402 are frame-specific. Gooseneck and fifth-wheel kits are in-bed hardware, not a rear-receiver substitute.
These F-350 Super Duty year landers are already live. We only link a useful sample of pages that return on this store.
Always confirm the live hitch card still lists your F-350 configuration before you order. Pickup, cab and chassis, and in-bed kits can appear on the same year lander without being interchangeable.
Match pins, covers, and ball mounts to the live tube size. Older 15410 trucks use two inch accessories. Newer 15802 trucks need two and one half inch shanks and hardware sized for that opening.
