Question:
Gonna be putting a flat bed on my 2000 f250 7.3 powerstroke and looking for a Reese hitch to go below the end of my bed. What options do I have. Do pull my sxs occasionally and would like to get a small dump trailer in the future. Thank you.

Hello Lonnie. We do offer trailer hitches for the 2000 Ford F-250, but nothing from Reese. What we have is the Curt Trailer Hitch Receiver # C15410. This is a class 5 hitch with a 2" receiver. It has a 17,000 lb towing capacity.
I am not sure of the dimensions of your flat bed though, so I have provided dimensions for the Curt # C15410 hitch for you below. Please compare this to your frame and flat bed to make sure everything will line up on your end.
Please note this hitch is intended for vehicles with a 20" or smaller spare tire. If your spare is larger than a 20" wheel, it will no longer fit under the vehicle and will need to be relocated.
Let me know if the dimensions in the pictures do not match up with what you have. Replying on this page is the best way to get ahold of me.

Ok. So gonna have a skirted flatbed installed. Want the receiver to be down lower like most of the built in hitches in the super expensive flatbeds. Is there a hitch that bolts to the chassis that is any lower than what I already have? I currently have the factory receiver in my truck.
