Hahaha. I like your style.

I don't have to worry about my hitch though, as I ordered a 176" WB CC F350.

I can't believe that some at Ford don't know the details of their product better than the average FTE nut. I'm not talking about dealer level dudes either. They should join up here...LOL...

I agree, but with all the disfunction in obtaining tracking information, and how much more organized it should be, and a report that after a second printing of owner’s manual it still says 15 quarts of oil for an change, wildly fluctuating wait times for delivery, Not surprising!! So I'll just stand in the wait and see line, till it gets here!!

The change wasn't supposed to happen until 1/5. Next guess is 2/20 for Job 2 unless someone get's a 2.5" built before that and reports it.

According to the latest publication I received, you're getting a 2.5 hitch. I think all single wheel trucks just need to wait and see what shows up on them.

It's a big 'ole corporation after all.

I have a 3", but I have a long box. I also have 3" draw bars, so it's all good with me.

Love my 3". But now there is another debacle, HitchGate. THe 3" coaxed me into one ball mount, fully adjustable to fit all needs except the pintle hook, which I can live with due to the rarity of pulling construction trailers any more. Now what to do with 7 other mounts of various weights, ball sizes and drops. Hmmm, maybe job 2 is going to create the market?

They won't let you change it unless you're a paid premium member. I've tried. It's not worth the $20 to me though....

My 250 6.7 short bed regular suspension came in late yesterday is being prepped as we speak. I went up this morning to the dealership an installed a couple of the parts like bed mat and floor mats that I had ordered through parts, while they were installing the remote access. While I was there I checked the hitch and it was 2.5" with one adapter for 2".
