Question:

I have the stock Ford Expedition 2012 hitch mounted on my vehicle with the 2 inch hole. Id like to upgrade the hitch to a 2.5 inch or possibly a 3 inch hitch. Is this option available?

I have some options for you as there is currently not a custom fit receiver for your 2012 Ford Expedition.

First we have the 2-1/2" Curt Class 5 Universal Weld-on Hitch w/ Brackets # C37CR. You will be able to weld this onto the frame rails of your Expedition. Do note the basic design of this receiver as it will likely result in lower ground clearance.

Otherwise we have the 2-1/2" Receiver Tube # 337RT255808 and Safety Chain Loop # E950 which you will be able to take to a welding shop and have a custom fit receiver made. Depending on the condition of the factory receiver you have they may be able to cut out the receiver tube and weld in the new parts while also being able to add some gussets for strength.
