I finally got by f350 SRW 6.7 today. (Ordered 6-15 ish). The 3 inch receiver doesn't have any reducers included and I thought they were suppose to be included. I asked the parts counter and they didn't even know ford made a 3 inch receiver and couldn't Find the parts in the system. Please help

 

They come with a 2.5 and 2" reducers. So you can fit all three sizes. I don't know if anybody makes a three inch stinger?

 

Mine came with 2 reducers, they were under the back seat when I picked it up.

 

2 reducers for me as well

 

Well I hope they're hidden in the cab somewhere

 

Mine were in the hitch along with the pin

 

Everyone I seen at the dealer had them in the hitch. But...check the inside. If not...they owe you the two.

 

Mine was behind the back seat also.

 

Found them under the rear seat which explains all the clanking I heard. Thanks! I suppose I'll tell the dealership so they can tell the next guy

 

Titan makes a 3" to 2" . I just bought one before I knew the trucks came with them. It's rated at 12000 with tongue weight at 1200 . I still want to use weight distribution bars on mine and don't see a setup for same 3" setup.

 

I went with the Geny Hitch with 6 inch drop. Cost a lot and weights even more. Very well built. Rated to tow 21,000lbs without weight distribution hitch.

 

It's on page 4/36 of the order guide.

Standard on all 350 diesel . You paid once for it .
They owe it to you

 

I'm still concerned about stability w/o weight distribution bars and sway control. I know your not supposed to have to use them with this truck but will the trailer sway more w/o them ?

 

I have been to several Ford dealers to ask about the new hitch and how you don't need to use a weight distribution hitch with the 2017.

Can someone explain to me how they engineered this new truck so that weight is spread between the truck AND trailer without a WDH??

I didn't do well in school so please type slowly and use small words

 

This was discussed a couple of different times in prior threads. A somewhat abbreviated conscientious of the forum members resulted in two theories. One is the truck and hitch is built strong enough to not need a weight distributing hitch in most cases. If your trailer is below the conventional towing weight and tongue load the truck will handle it fine. The built in trailer sway control will help stop the sway in the event it becomes and issue. The second, most agreed, is that although not required, heavy and large trailers prone to sway are still better with the WD hitch and moving some of the load to the front axle, as always. The WD sway control will go a long way to ensuring the truck electronic sway control never comes into play: certainly it is better to prevent sway than to correct it after it starts.

So in summary, although not required on paper it would be an operator's choice or prerogative to use the WD hitch and sway bars, one that I would recommend with a heavy, large volume trailer which has characteristics prone to annoying or dangerous sway. It would certainly go a long ways toward driver comfort and security. And better weight distribution has never been a bad thing.
