Expert Reply:

You made a great choice with the B&W Tow & Stow, as it is considered by many to be the best ball mount in the industry due to its strength and anti-theft design of the platform. In order to determine which one is correct for your F-250, you will just need to take two different measurements to ensure you get the right one.

Just measure from the ground to the top of the inside of your Ford's hitch receiver; next, measure from the ground to the bottom of your trailer's coupler and find the difference between the two measurements, which will be the amount of drop you need (assuming your hitch height is greater).

- Up To 3" of Drop: B&W Tow & Stow 3-Ball Mount # BWTS10047B

- Up to 5" of Drop: B&W Tow & Stow 3-Ball Mount # BWTS10048B

The only other thing you will need is a pin and clip or lock for the Tow & Stow, the Pin and Clip # C21500 or a lock, which I do highly recommend, the InfiniteRule Hitch Lock # 34061071-D.
