2.5” or 3”?

I ordered a F250 Lariat Ultimate crew/short last week. In the list of standard items on the website, it shows both a 2.5” and 3” receiver as standard for Super Duty. When going thru the options I never saw where I had the choice of one vs the other. I don’t really need/want the 3”, but how do I know which I’ll be getting?

I believe it comes with a "sleeve/reducer" on it so you have the option for either or.

The 3" comes on these trucks. Otherwise, you'll get the 2.5"

On the F250, you only get the 3" receiver if you order the high capacity trailer tow package.

Cool, thanks. I did not order that option, so 2.5” it is. Perfect.
