I have a 2015 ford f150 xl extended cab without any hitch package, I’m not sure which bolt on hitch I need to pull a 3000 pound trailer approximately, no wiring or tow package at all but I need a light trailer and don’t trust the bumper pull only with ball, thnx for ur help

Expert Reply:

I recommend our etrailer Trailer Hitch Receiver # e63TR for your 2015 Ford F-150. This will bolt on your truck and is rated for trailers up to 6,000lbs.

For the trailer wiring you will first want to check for a blank connector near the drivers side frame rail near the back of your truck. If you have the blank rectangle connector like on the Curt 4-Way # C56110 then you will be able to plug in a 4-way. Otherwise you would need to splice in the 4-Way # 18252 to your tail light wiring.

You are also going to need a Ball Mount # e77DR to tow a trailer with a 2" ball coupler.
