What Hitch will Work Best on my 1982 Ford F-250 with an Aftermarket 38 Gallon Fuel Tank
Updated 12/29/2020 | Published 12/25/2020
Question:
I have a 1982 F250 with a 38-gallon after-market rear gas tank - it hangs down below the frame rails, so any hitch that attaches to the frame rails must not encroach on this area between the frame rails in the vicinity of the tank. It looks like the Curt 15300 and BandW 25122 probably violate this, but that the Draw-Tite 41004 might not.

Expert Reply:
I've checked the hitches and while none of them actually come inside of the frame rails the Draw-Tite Max-E-Loader Trailer Hitch Receiver part # 41004 will offer the most clearance of the three options you have mentioned.
