Expert Reply:

For your 1998 Ford F-150 I attached a link that has all of the hitches available that would fit the vehicle. For one that would work on your vehicle if it has a standard or stepside bed you would want the Curt Hitch part # C14355.

I also attached an install video for the Curt hitch.

If you plan on doing some towing you might be interested in etrailer ball mount kit # 989900. It comes with 2 ball mounts; one with a 3/4 inch rise or 2 inch drop and one with a 2-3/4 inch rise or 4 inch drop. It also includes a 1-7/8 inch ball, 2 inch ball, hitch pin with clip, and a storage bag.

If the ball mount kit does not have the right rise or drop to tow the trailer level, use the link I have included that explains how to measure to choose a ball mount to tow the trailer level.

For trailer wiring you would want the part # C55344.
