So the f-450’s have a 3” hitch rated at 28k lbs. not sure if the 350’s have that hitch , wouldnt be surprised.

2017 Crew Cab Long Box Lariat Ultimate, I have the 3” hitch, it’s standard on a long box F350 single wheel or dually.

Has to be a long box though, I think the SBs didn’t always get them. Could be mistaken. I really like this hitch because it doesn’t have to be weight distributed to reach that max rating. So if I want to pull an equipment trailer or a really big *** hay trailer it can handle it better than the 12,500 lb rated.

Needs more weight in front of the axle. That's gonna sway like crazy!!

My heaviest pull is only 11K on my 3" receiver, but it was a bit over 1400 lbs tongue weight. I feel bad for those guys with little receivers.
