To tow a heavy concession stand trailer with your 2019 Ford F-250 Super Duty you're going to want the Draw-Tite Ultra Frame Trailer Hitch Receiver item # 41931. This hitch is custom fit and bolts directly to your F-250's frame with included hardware. It has a maximum gross trailer weight of 12,000 lbs and a maximum tongue weight of 1,200 lbs. I have linked an installation video.

You are going to need a ball mount. The B&W Heavy-Duty Ball Mount item # BWBMHD30014 has a 5" Rise, 6" Drop , is 10-3/4" Long , and has a 16,000 lbs capacity. For a hitch ball you will want the 2" item # C69FR or for a 2-5/16" ball item # C40008.

To keep your ball mount from walking away you will want to use the etrailer Trailer Hitch Receiver Lock for 2" Hitches - Flush - 2-5/8" Span item # e98880.

In order to control your trailer's brakes you will need a brake controller. The Tekonsha Prodigy P3 Trailer Brake Controller item # 90195 is a proportional brake controller that works with trailers having up to 4 axles. The brake controller activates your trailer brakes in proportion to your F-250's braking action. It automatically adjusts the trailer's braking based on deceleration of your vehicle.
