Question:
I would like to know if this mount would fit the standard hitch on a 2008 F-450. I also would like to put this ball 2516-114-HT on said mount. Thanks, Eizo Roman

Expert Reply:
If you have the Class 5 hitch on your F-450 and the inside measurement of your hitch opening is 2-1/2 x 2-1/2 inches, then this ball mount will work in your truck's receiver hitch. The hitch ball you selected has the proper 1-1/4 inch size shank to fit the RP45323 ball mount. If you have a 2 by 2 inch receiver then you could use ball mount DTBM5400 (see link below), up to 14,000 pounds and the same ball for your towing needs.
