I would love to get you the correct hitch and ball mount for your F-250, but could you tell me what year your F-250 is? I would need to know that in order to get you the correct hitch.

For your 2008 Ford F-250 Super Duty I recommend Curt Hitch # C15410, which is a Class V hitch with a 2" receiver that has a towing capacity of 17,000 lbs and tongue weight capacity of 2,550 lbs. This hitch is a bolt-on installation that is not going to require any drilling for installation; I've added a link to a video of this part being installed on a 2007 F-250 so you can take a look at the process. As for a ball mount the correct one is going to depend on a couple of measurements you will need to take. First, make sure both your truck and trailer are parked on level ground; you'll then want to measure from the ground to the top of the inside of your hitch receiver. Next, measure from the ground to the bottom of your trailer's coupler. If the height of your hitch is greater, you will need a ball mount with that amount of drop. If the height of the coupler is greater, you'll need a ball mount with that amount of rise. For example, if the top of the hitch on your truck measured 12 inches and the bottom of your coupler measured 10 inches, you would need a ball mount with 2 inches of drop such as the Curt # C45340, which you could use with 2-5/16" hitch ball # 63840. I've attached a link to a help article on ball mounts for you to take a look at, as well as a link to our selection of ball mounts.
