Need a Class Four Hitch
Hello, bought a 2015 last Friday and need a hitch. Not finding much selection on several sites. No class four hitches to be found only class three that I can see. Searched E-trailer, Uhaul, Four Wheel Parts and even PepBoys! Could someone point me in the right direction? Thank you!

I like Curt Hitches. This is from Jegs. I'm not sure about new trucks but in the past if your truck came from the factory with a hitch, you can not easily change to a Class 4. On my 08 I had to change all the bumper brackets plus have some custom work done to get the bumper back on.

My truck didn't come with a hitch but I am worried that there might be some fabrication required. There are a couple steal tabs welded underneath the rear bumper that look like they might be in the way of an aftermarket hitch. It came setup with a four pin so I am guessing Ford figured the buyer would just slap a ball on the rear bumper and go as is.

You just bought a brand new truck. If you wanted a hitch then why didn't you buy a truck with a hitch?

I am confident that Curt makes a hitch for your truck. I would imagine your local hitch place or U-Haul could set you up. If you need a brake controller you will either need to go 3rd party or run a wire for the brakes to the back of the truck. It is important to note when you are buying the hitch that your truck came w/o a factory hitch.

[Okay, the curiosity is killing me....

Money, couldn't afford an XLT. They had 3 XL Supercrews with several upgrades, all were identical except the one that had a hitch had non Ecoboost 3.5. I really wanted the 2.7 and I figured I could get a class 4 hitch installed for around $250.
