Hey Cynthia, thanks for reaching out!

We've got the Draw-Tite Class IV # 75506 and the Draw-Tite Class V # 41933 that fit your 2006 Ford F-150 STX as long as it doesn't have the factory hitch.

I've attached some installation videos of these hitches for your reference. If you need some help with the installation, then I recommend checking out the linked installer locator to see what shops in your area are able to do hitch installs.
