2013 f150

I bought a new 2013 f150 with the trailer tow package. What ball mount drop should I use ? I am pulling a 18 ft. Triton fish & ski . I had a Honda Ridgeline and used a 2" drop . I got on E-trailer .com and they told how to measure for the drop . It works out to be a 2" drop . The F150 is a lot taller than the ridgeline .

If you still have to 2" drop, try it and see. That is the best place to start.

Ideally you want it level from truck to trailer. So hook up and adjust accordingly.

I would not invest in anything till you try it. Wal-Mart or most anyplace will have an assorment to choose from when you see what it looks like.
