Pick your F-550 Super Duty year
Each year page has the hitch, the harness and the ball mount that go together, with the price of each.
Class 4 or Class 5 on an F-550 Super Duty?
Class 4 is the lighter one, with a 2-inch receiver and 10,000 lb of trailer. It's plenty for a camper, a boat or a loaded equipment trailer. 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-550 Super Duty's own tow rating in the owner's manual is the ceiling, and the lower number wins.
CURT parts for the Ford F-550 Super Duty
Wiring, ball mount and the rest
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-550 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-550 Super Duty hitch questions
Which CURT hitch fits my Ford F-550 Super Duty?
It depends on the year. CURT 15845 is the newest, for 1999 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-550 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 15845), 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 15845 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-550 Super Duty tow with a CURT hitch?
The hitch is rated from 10,000 lb to 20,000 lb depending on the part, but the F-550 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.
