Question:
I have a 2005 ford f150 with factory installed hitch. Do you have a replacement for this?

Expert Reply:
The factory hitches that come on the 2005 Ford F-150 actually tie into the structure and stability of the bumper, so a custom fit aftermarket hitch will not be able to be used, unfortunately. From looking at the frame where an aftermarket hitch would attach, the Draw-Tite # 41947 will not be able to be used either. This is also designed to fit the F-350, F-450, and F-550 cab and chassis model truck so the frame width will also be quite different.
