Hello Ramon,
The Curt Trailer Hitch Receiver - Custom Fit - Class V Commercial Duty - 2-1/2" # C15802 is a great fit for your 2021 Ford F-350 XLT Tremor. It matches up to the existing holes in your frame, so no drilling is required. The vertical mounts install on the outside of the passenger side frame rail and the driver side frame rail (please refer to attached image).
We didn't have the dimension you were looking for so I took a stroll out to the warehouse, the inside to inside is right at 39 1/4". Make sure you eat your Wheaties before installing because that thing is one heavy beast!
What are you mainly going to be towing around with this monster?

Hey Ramon, how did the fit of that Curt hitch work out on your F-350 Tremor? Did the 39-1/4 inch inside width line up well with your frame rails? Your feedback could really help others setting up the same hitch.
