my Ford F 350 has a 2.5inch receiver, will this item work with this ?

I may have a solution for you, but the # AUT-F352-RB is designed to fit on 2" receivers; you may be able to make it work, but it's just going to rattle around back there. The only hitch cover we currently have available for 2-1/2" hitches is the # C22277, which would fit on the 2-1/2" receiver you've got.
With that said, you could add a hitch reducer sleeve like the B&W Hitch Receiver Reducer Sleeve - 2-1/2" to 2" # BWRHXA2182, which would reduce the receiver down to a 2" receiver. This would allow you to fit the # AUT-F352-RB in that sleeve. You could use your standard 2-1/2" receiver hitch pin and clip you use for towing to secure this cover, or you can use the # 74149.
