Hitch help
have an 88 F-350.It has a reese hitch on it and the model number is either 35159 or 35169.The specs on the sticker for weight capacity is faded out.I have googled the hell out of this and no luck.I then called reese tech support and was told it was an obsolete model.Just wondering if anyone had this hitch and could still make out the numbers Thanks!
