Receiver Hitches Help!

I ordered my F150 with the Heavyduty payload package 8300 gvw? I did not order a hitch towing package because Fords hitch was not rated high enough for me. I am looking for a 1000 or 1200 lbs "TW" receiver and can't find one anywhere. Anyone have any Ideas? I wanted a DMI pull out Farm type but they don't have one yet for the new Fords.

theres a reason hitches usually aren't rated that high for a half ton....mostly because the truck isn't designed for that much tounge weight.

Don"t need that. I need a heavier "receiver" cause we pull farm equiment and some of this stuff has a pretty heavy hitch weight. Most receivers only show 600lbs tongue weight I'm looking for something at 1000. Might never need it but just want to make sure. Looks like I'm going to have to weld my own!
