Availability of Adjustable Ball Mount that will Fit a 3 inch Trailer Hitch

Question:

I have a 2017 truck on order, and I dislike the adapters Ford uses. The specs say its a 3 inch receiver with sleeves to adapt to 2 1/2 and 2 inch, and I have used the adapters on customer trucks. My question is about the 3/4 hitch pin, since I remember the adapters used the 2 inch/ 5/8ths pin. Would I have to drill out my receiver? Is there a 3 inch ball mount specifically for the new Fords? I pull a 17,000 trailer.

We have some options for fitting a 3 inch trailer hitch like what you have on your Ford truck. I attached a link to a page that has all of them. One of the more popular options is the B&W Tow & Stow # BWTS30040B.
