I have a 2024 F150. I need to be able to pull fairly light weight raft/atv/utility trailers with the tailgate down. What hitch extension options are available.

Hey Brandon,
We have a few extenders available ranging from different sizes. Something like the Curt extender # C45796 is an 18" long extension that works well with 2" hitches and gives you a 3,500lb towing capacity. That is great for towing a small trailer like you mentioned.
We have multiple different lengths of extenders so if you want to let me know more about how much extension you need I can find one better suited for you.
How much does the trailer you are going to be towing weigh?
