Question:

I have a 2022 Ford F250 XLT FX4 with the stock suspension. The measurement from the top of the 2.5inch hitch receiver to the ground is 21-1/2. Will this hitch meet the recommended 11inch ground clearance height when the TS20040B hitch is in the lowest position since the ball that is not in use will hang below the adjustment shank? Thanks.

I reached out to B&W to verify the height of the B&W Tow & Stow 2-Ball Mount # BWTS20040B. They informed me from the top of the hitch to the lowest point will be 11.1" This would only give you approximately 10.4" of clearance. You will want to step down to the 5" Drop # BWTS20037B to maintain the 11" of clearance required when used in the lowest position unless you plan on lifting your 2022 Ford F-250.
