Receiver hitch reducer sleaves

I didn't like the loose, sloppy fit of my factory 2.5"-2" reducer, so I bought a piece of 2" receiver tubing at my local welding fab shop. The tubing fits snugly into my 2.5" hitch. The hitch pin hole lined up perfectly with the factory hole in my truck's hitch. All that I needed to do was cut it off so that it didn't extend past the inside of my hitch, just shy of touching my spare tire.
I believe that 2.5" hitch tubing is 3" outside, and would probably work in the same manner, as a 3"-2.5" reducer.
And I store my adapter inside the truck when it's not in use, away from thieving eyes.

Can someone who has purchased a 2019 F-350 with the 3" receiver verify that it comes with either a hitch pin or a hitch pin and reducer from 3" to 2-1/2". I don't believe that they come with two reducers to get down to 2".

From what I've heard, both from owners and dealers, is that Ford has changed its policy. I don't think they're including all the reducers anymore. However, I would happily be informed otherwise.
