Hey Ted, thanks for reaching out!
The (discontinued) Draw-Tite 65061 hitch will fit exactly the same as the Curt # C31068 front hitch on your 2009 Ford F-150. The only difference being that the Draw-Tite sticks out further, as you mentioned.
Some people like the hitch sticking further out for easier access while others like the more hidden design so it isn't as visible every day. The double pin holes on the Draw-Tite are for an older double hitch pin they used to make specifically for their hitches, but they got rid of that a number of years ago so it's pretty useless now.
