Pick your F-450 Super Duty year

Each year page has the hitch, the harness and the ball mount that go together, with the price of each.

Class 3 or Class 5 on an F-450 Super Duty?

Class 3 is the lighter one, with a 2-inch receiver and 10,000 lb of trailer. It's plenty for a bike rack, a cargo carrier, a utility trailer or a small boat. Class 5 moves you to a 2-1/2 inch receiver and 20,000 lb, which is what you want for a camper, a boat or a loaded equipment trailer. Either way the F-450 Super Duty's own tow rating in the owner's manual is the ceiling, and the lower number wins.

Salt and winter careGrease the pin, cap the receiver, rinse in spring. The hitch outlasts the F-450 Super Duty.

A bike rack needs nothing but the hitch. A trailer needs lights, and CURT 55243 ($84.59 CAD) is the four-flat harness that plugs into the F-450 Super Duty's factory connector for 1999 through 2001. No cutting, no scotch-locks. Other years have their own harness; the year page shows the right one.

Then a ball mount sized to the receiver: CURT 45371 ($134.41 CAD) drops straight into a 2-1/2 inch receiver. Pick the drop or rise that keeps the trailer level, and match the ball to the coupler. The ball mount guide covers both in two minutes.

Canadian winters eat hitch hardware. Salt and brine get into the receiver and the trailer plug, so a smear of grease on the pin, a cap on the receiver and a rinse under the bumper in spring keep a CURT hitch looking new for years. The rust and salt care guide has the full routine.

Ford F-450 Super Duty hitch questions

Which CURT hitch fits my Ford F-450 Super Duty?

It depends on the year. CURT 15802 is the newest, for 2017 through 2026, and the table above matches every other year to its part. Open your year page and the exact hitch, price and wiring are on it.

Can I put a bike rack on an F-450 Super Duty with this hitch?

Yes. The 2-1/2 inch receiver takes any 2-1/2 inch rack, and a loaded rack counts against the hitch's tongue weight (2,700 lb on CURT 15802), so a four-bike platform rack with bikes on it is well inside the limit.

Can I install the hitch myself?

Most owners do. CURT rates CURT 15802 a novice install, about 30 minutes with hand tools and a jack. The install video above is the real job, uncut.

How much can an F-450 Super Duty tow with a CURT hitch?

The hitch is rated from 6,000 lb to 20,000 lb depending on the part, but the F-450 Super Duty's own tow rating in the owner's manual is the ceiling. The lower of the two numbers is your limit, every time.
